Responsiveness of the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Quality of Life Scale (AAQoL)
Abstract
Aims This study examined responsiveness of the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Quality of Life Scale (AAQoL), which was developed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQL) among adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods Adults with ADHD completed the AAQoL, Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS), SF-36, and Endicott Work Productivity Scale (EWPS) at baseline and week 8 of a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of atomoxetine. Clinicians rated symptom severity and improvement (CGI-ADHD-S, CGI-ADHD-I). Responsiveness was examined through effect sizes and association with change in the measures listed previously (Spearman correlations, GLMs). Results Analyses included 328 patients (58.8% male; mean age = 36.9 years). All AAQoL scales reflected significant improvement from baseline to week 8 (P < 0.0001). AAQoL change scores were significantly correlated with change in the CGI-ADHD-S (r = -0.37 to -0.50), EWPS (r = -0.43 to -0.63), and CAARS (r = -0.35 to -0.62) (all P < 0.001). AAQoL change scores significantly discriminated among patients with various levels of symptom improvement. AAQoL effect sizes (-0.67 to -1.11) were larger than effect sizes for the SF-36 (0.15 to -0.39). Conclusions The AAQoL was responsive to change in symptoms of ADHD, and it appears to be a useful outcome measure for treatments of ADHD in adults.

The AAQoL scale exhibited responsiveness to ADHD treatment in an 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the nonstimulant atomoxetine.
“Another validated QOL measure, the 29-item self-reported Adult ADHD QoL (AAQoL) scale [24], exhibited responsiveness to ADHD treatment in an 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the nonstimulant atomoxetine [21].”

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.
