Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index: Development, validation and application of a new instrument
Abstract
At present, an instrument for measuring the quality of life, specifically for patients with gastrointestinal disease, is not available. A new instrument for gastrointestinal disorders that is system-specific has been developed in three phases. In the first phase, questions were collated and then tested on 70 patients with gastrointestinal diseases and those that worked well were retained. In the second phase, the questions were modified and tested on 204 patients and the results verified by international experts. The instrument was also validated against other generic measures of quality of life. During the third phase, the instrument was validated with 168 normal individuals. Reproducibility was tested on 25 patients with stable gastrointestinal disease and responsiveness was tested on 194 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The result is a bilingual (German and English) questionnaire containing 36 questions each with five response categories. The responses to questions are summed to give a numerical score. It is concluded that the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) is ready to be used in clinical practice and research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
