Assessing Health-Related Quality of Life in Gynecologic Oncology: A Systematic Review of Questionnaires and Their Ability to Detect Clinically Important Differences and Change
Methods: We searched MEDLINE using the term quality of life and each gynecologic cancer type, as well as the names of identified questionnaires.
Conclusions: The evidence we reviewed offered little support for the hypothesis that disease-, symptom-, or treatment-specific instruments are more sensitive and responsive than cancer-specific or generic questionnaires. However, conclusions were limited by the small number of head-to-head comparisons available. We summarize the clinical contexts in which each instrument identified an MCID to inform choice of questionnaire(s), sample size calculations, and interpretation of results in future studies.
