Improved Items for Estimating SF-36 Profile and Summary Component Scores: Construction and Validation of an 8-item QOL General (QGEN) Survey.
Med Care
January 2025
John Ware Research Group (JWRG), Watertown, MA.
Background: Comprehensive health-related quality of life (QOL) assessment under severe respondent burden constraints requires improved single-item scales for frequently surveyed domains. This article documents how new single-item-per-domain (SIPD) QOL General (QGEN-8) measures were constructed for domains common to SF-36 and results from the first psychometric tests comparing scores for the new measure in relation to those for the SF-36 profile and summary components.
Research Design: Online NORC surveys of adults, ages 19-93 (mean=52 y) representing the US population in 2020 (N=1648) included QGEN-8 and SF-36 items measuring physical (PF), social (SF), role physical (RP) and role emotional (RE) functioning and feelings of bodily pain (BP), vitality (VT), and mental health (MH).
Does the Relationship Between Preoperative Function and Achievement of Clinically Important Benchmarks of Success After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Depend on Outcome Assessment Design?
Clin Orthop Relat Res

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA.
Background: A variety of clinically important benchmarks of success (CIBS) have been defined for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) to quantify success. However, it is unclear how the preoperative status of the patient influences their likelihood of achieving each CIBS.
Questions/purposes: (1) What proportion of patients achieve commonly used CIBS after TSA? (2) Is there a relationship between a patients' preoperative function and their probability of achieving different CIBS? (3) Does there exist preoperative ranges for each outcome measure that are associated with greater achievement of CIBS?
Methods: We retrospectively queried a multicenter shoulder arthroplasty database for primary anatomic TSA (aTSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA).
Click Ordering Lateralization Test: Applicability and feasibility of a new paradigm for assessing sound lateralization behavior.
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Department of Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy, Medical School, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, 05360-160, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined a new method for testing how well children can tell the direction of sounds.
- The Click Ordering Lateralization Test involved two tracks with 54 trials each, where kids identified the side they first heard noise bursts separated by different time intervals.
- Results showed that the method is reliable, with no significant differences between tracks, and it is suitable for assessing sound lateralization in children aged 8 to 14.
Does the modified shuttle test exhibit a ceiling effect in healthy and cystic fibrosis children and adolescents?
Arch Physiother
December 2024
Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), Barcelona - Spain.
Introduction: The modified shuttle test-15 (MST-15) is a valid alternative for assessing exercise capacity when a cardiopulmonary exercise testing is not feasible. This study aims to describe the percentage of healthy and cystic fibrosis (CF) children and adolescents reaching the MST-15 ceiling. Additionally, it examines associations between MST-15 distance and demographic, anthropometric, and lung function data.
