A questionnaire to measure quality of life in adults with nocturnal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis
Open accessAbstract
Background Many patients with rhinoconjunctivitis experience symptoms at night and these interfere with getting a good night's sleep.Objective The aim of this study was to develop the Nocturnal Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (NRQLQ) to measure the functional problems that are most troublesome to patients with nocturnal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (NAR).Methods After generating a list of 256 potentially important items, 132 patients with NAR identified the items that were most troublesome. The top scoring 16 items are included in the NRQLQ in four domains (sleep problems, symptoms during sleep time, symptoms on waking and practical problems). The NRQLQ asks patients to recall their experiences during the previous week and score each item on a 7-point scale.Results One hundred and six patients with NAR participated in a 3 week validation study. This showed the NRQLQ to have good reliability (ICC = 0.87) and responsiveness (responsiveness index = 0.93). For both cross-sectional and longitudinal construct validity correlations between the NRQLQ and other measures of health status were close to a priori predictions.Conclusions The NRQLQ has strong evaluative and discriminative measurement properties and can be used with confidence in both clinical practice and clinical trials to measure the functional impairments that are most troublesome to patients with nocturnal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.

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.
