Abstract

The leading health status instruments in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) research are based on the pool of items developed as part of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS). The measures include the SF-20, MOS-HIV, SF-36, SF-12, SF-56, SF-38 (Patient Reported Status and Experience Survey (PARSE)), SF-21 and HIV Cost and Service Utilization Study (HCSUS) questionnaires. The instrument length ranges from 12 to 56 items, covering two to 11 dimensions. Completion requires from 2 to 14 minutes. Subscales are scored on a 0-100 scale (a higher score indicates better health); physical and mental health or overall summary scores are available for most of the measures. Three of the instruments are available in multiple languages. The instruments have been administered to over 20,000 persons with HIV in descriptive studies and clinical trials and there is substantial evidence for their reliability, construct and predictive validity and responsiveness. In several studies the measures have shown important differences between treatments. Although existing measures do not assess all domains relevant to HIV disease, additional subscales are available from the MOS pool. Some of the subscales may be prone to floor and ceiling effects. However, summary scales that encompass all of the subscales reduce this issue. Selection among MOS measures should be dictated by specific questions, the balance of available time and resources, and practical concerns.

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.
