Introduction. Questionnaires on Functional Health Status (FHS) are part of the assessment of oropharyngeal dysphagia.Objective. To conduct a systematic review of the literature on the psychometric properties of English-language FHS questionnaires in adults with oropharyngeal dysphagia.Methods. A systematic search was performed using the electronic databases Pubmed and Embase. The psychometric properties of the questionnaires were determined based on the COSMIN taxonomy of measurement properties and definitions for health-related patient-reported outcomes and the COSMIN checklist using preset psychometric criteria.Results. Three questionnaires were included: the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), the Swallowing Outcome after Laryngectomy (SOAL), and the Self-report Symptom Inventory. The Sydney Swallow Questionnaire (SSQ) proved to be identical to the Modified Self-report Symptom Inventory. All FHS questionnaires obtained poor overall methodological quality scores for most measurement properties.Conclusions. The retrieved FHS questionnaires need psychometric reevaluation; if the overall methodological quality shows satisfactory improvement on most measurement properties, the use of the questionnaires in daily clinic and research can be justified. However, in case of insufficient validity and/or reliability scores, new FHS questionnaires need to be developed using and reporting on preestablished psychometric criteria as recommended in literature.

Hearing Handicap

This investigation examined the relations among hearing loss, handicap perception, and functional health status of 152 African American and Caucasian American seniors ranging in age from 60 to 89 years. Subjective measures were obtained from self-report scores on the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE), the Medical Outcomes Study 36-ltem Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and demographic profiles. Results indicated the following: (1) both subject groups exhibited nearly identical degrees of sensorineural hearing loss consistent with presbyacusis; (2) African American seniors reported significantly lower levels of completed education than did Caucasian American seniors; (3) differences between groups in self-report scores of hearing handicap (HHIE) were not statistically significant; (4) differences across groups in self-report scores of functional health status (SF-36) were not statistically significant; and (5) increasing levels of hearing loss produced significantly higher HHIE scores and significantly lower SF-36 scores in each group. These findings are discussed.

The Impact

BackgroundUnderstanding of the impact of depressive and anxiety disorders on functional health status in the context of chronic medical illness has been gained almost exclusively from the study of patient populations.AimsTo compare the impact of major depressive and generalised anxiety disorder with that of chronic medical conditions on functional health in a UK resident population.MethodThe functional health of 20 921 study participants was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 questionnaire. Depressive and anxiety disorder episode histories and chronic medical conditions were assessed using independent self-completed questionnaires.ResultsThe degree of physical functional impairment associated with mood disorders was of equivalent magnitude to that associated with the presence of chronic medical conditions or with being some 12 years older.ConclusionsDepressive and anxiety disorders have a profound impact on functional health that is independent of chronic medical illness. Chronic anxiety is associated with physical health limitations in excess of those associated with chronic depression or any of the physical health conditions considered, except for stroke.
