摘要
BACKGROUND: The progressive loss of function affects the quality of life of the ALS patient. Quality of life depends on a spectrum of factors. Available instruments for assessment include questionnaires developed for generic illness-related disabilities and ALS-specific questionnaires that focus on function. METHODS: Comparisons were made between two ALS-specific questionnaires (ALS Functional Rating Scale and SIP/ALS-19) and a generic instrument (Short Form-12) given to 1513 patients from the (North American) ALS Patient Care Database. RESULTS: The SIP/ALS-19 correlates well with the ALS Functional Rating Scale and less well with the Short Form-12. CONCLUSIONS: The SIP/ALS-19 can be used as an effective surrogate for the ALS Functional Rating Scale, with the advantage that the SIP/ALS-19 also includes questions that encompass the psychological and social domains of quality of life.
