Objective: To determine the equivalence of SF-12v2 and SF-36v2 for assessing health related quality of life in a general population in Chengdu.
Methods: The equivalence between SF-12v2 and SF-36v2 was assessed using reliability,validity and responsiveness.
Results: The eight sub-scales of SF-36v2 had a score ranging from 64.13 to 89.15,compared with a range between 47.45 and 87.92 for SF-12v2. The SF-12v2 had larger standard deviations than the SF-36v2. No floor effects were detected; but ceiling effects were significant in the subscales of physical functioning (PF) ,role-physical (RP),bodily pain (BP),social functioning (SF) and role emotion (RE). The SF-12v2 had higher ceiling effects (56.66%-68.32%) than the SF-36v2 (50.14%-63.87%). The exploratory factor analyses extracted two factors in both cases,representing physical (PCS) and mental health (MCS),respectively. The total variances explained by the common factors reached 64.05% for the SF-36v2 and 55.79% for the SF-12v2. The SF-12v2 PCS and MCS scores explained 91.0% and 80.3% of the total variances of those of the SF-36v2,respectively. The effect size of PCSs ranges from 0.78 to 2.77 in the subpopulations with different health conditions,compared with 0.00-0.57 for MSCs. The relative validity (RV) of PCS-12 to PCS-36 ranged from 0.89 to 0.94,compared with a MCS-12 to MCS-36 range of 0.60-0.75.
Conclusion: SF-12v2 is reliable and valid as a brief substitute version of SF-36v2 with acceptable responsiveness and equitable structure for assessing health related quality of life in the general population of Chengdu. But sub-scale scores were not recommended when using the SF-12v2 due to reduced precision.

Sensitivity of outcome instruments in a priori selected patient groups after traumatic brain injury: Results from the CENTER-TBI study.
PLoS One

Institute of Medical Psychology and Medical Sociology, University Medical Center Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can negatively impact patients' lives on many dimensions. Multiple instruments are available for evaluating TBI outcomes, but it is still unclear which instruments are the most sensitive for that purpose. This study examines the sensitivity of nine outcome instruments in terms of their ability to discriminate within and between specific patient groups, selected a priori as identified from the literature, at three different time points within a year after TBI (i.

Purpose: To estimate population norms for the SF-6D health preference (utility) scores derived from the MOS SF-36 version 1 (SF-36v1), SF-36 version 2 (SF-36v2), and (SF-12v2) health surveys collected from a representative adult sample in Hong Kong, and to assess differences in SF-6D scores across sociodemographic subgroups.
Methods: A random telephone survey of 2410 Chinese adults was conducted. All respondents completed questionnaires on sociodemographics and presence of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, chronic rheumatism, chronic lung diseases, stroke, and mental illness), and the short-form 36-item health survey (SF-36) version 1, and selected items of the SF-36v2 that were different from those of SF-36v1.
Five to Ten-Year Outcomes of Operatively Treated Scapular Fractures.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Minnesota, Regions Hospital, St. Paul, Minnesota.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the 5 to 10-year clinical and patient-reported functional outcomes after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of intra-articular and extra-articular scapular fractures.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of prospectively collected data on 106 patients who underwent ORIF of a scapular fracture at a single level-I trauma center between January 2005 and December 2010. Eight patients were excluded from the study because they had either severe neurologic injury or an isolated process fracture, and 66 patients (37 with an isolated extra-articular fracture and 29 with an intra-articular fracture) participated in the 5 to 10-year follow-up, yielding a follow-up rate of 67%.

A meta-analytic review of measurement equivalence study findings of the SF-36® and SF-12® Health Surveys across electronic modes compared to paper administration.

Purpose: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures originally developed for paper administration are increasingly being administered electronically in clinical trials and other health research studies. Three published meta-analyses of measurement equivalence among paper and electronic modes aggregated findings across hundreds of PROs, but there has not been a similar meta-analysis that addresses a single PRO, partly because there are not enough published measurement equivalence studies using the same PRO. Because the SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a widely used PRO, the aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of measurement equivalence studies of this survey.
