STANDARDIZED AND WELL-CHOSEN SCORES IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE STUDY

Scores and/or questionnaires are established instruments to assess discomfort or quality of life. Furthermore, scores serve as documentation of pain and/or functional restrictions in many diseases. The surveys serve quite different demands – both regarding the patient, who should possess the cognitive abilities to fill in the questionnaires adequately as well as regarding the doctor, who must choose the right questionnaire for the respective patient collective and must be able to analyse them.

Evaluating scores is quite varied and ranges from simple sum calculations to complex calculations. In some cases there are standardized procedures; in other cases the evaluations must be adapted to the respective patient collective, making more sophisticated procedures necessary.

On the basis of our many years of experience in the conceptualisation of questionnaires and score evaluation as well as with the analyses of already validated questionnaires we can gladly be of assistance in choosing the appropriate instruments. If necessary we also support the compiling of questionnaires and subsequently carry out reliability analyses as well as, where applicable, factor analyses.
