本研究的目的是使用基于社区的研究验证心脏病和中风患者的SF-12健康调查。在1995年11月至1996年8月期间，3，362名患者被邀请加入澳大利亚新南威尔士州的Hunter心脏和中风登记中心，并完成SF-12健康调查。在3，362例患者中，2，341例（70%）返回了SF-12。在这2，341名患者中，78%完成了所有12个项目。那些没有完成调查问卷的人更有可能是女性，年龄较大，受教育程度较低，住院时间较长，并在急诊时入院。在仅限于1，831名完成问卷的患者的分析中，SF-12证明了结构效度：测量身体和心理健康状况的评分在统计学上显著高于男性，年轻人高于老年人，住院时间短的患者高于住院时间长的患者，计划入院的患者高于急诊患者，心脏病患者高于卒中患者。在能够完成SF-12的患者中，SF-12的结构效度表明其在大规模调查中评估健康状况的潜力相当大。然而，由于相对较高的未完成率，应谨慎对待心脏病和中风人群。质量。Life Res. 8：1-8（C）1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
The objective of this study was to validate the SF-12 Health Survey in heart and stroke patients using a community-based study. Between November 1995 and August 1996, 3,362 patients were invited to join the Hunter Heart and Stroke Register in New South Wales, Australia and to complete the SF-12 Health Survey. Of the 3,362 patients, 2,341 (70%) returned the SF-12. Of those 2,341 patients, 78% completed all 12 items. Those who did not complete the questionnaire were significantly more likely to be females, older, less educated, have stayed longer in hospital and been admitted on emergency. The SF-12 demonstrated construct validity in an analysis restricted to the 1,831 patients who completed the questionnaire: scores measuring physical and mental health status were statistically significantly higher in men than women, in younger than older, in those who had shorter than longer lengths of stay in hospital, in patients whose hospital admissions were planned than emergencies and in heart than stroke patients. Construct validity of the SF-12 among patients able to complete the SF-12 suggests considerable potential for its use in assessing health status in large-scale surveys. However, caution should be taken with the heart and stroke population because of a relatively high incompletion rate. Qual. Life Res. 8:1-8 (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
