The Quality of Life Scale: An Instrument for Rating the Schizophrenic Deficit Syndrome
Open accessAbstract
There is growing interest in deficit symptoms in studies of the course and treatment response of schizophrenia. However, existing clinical assessment instruments focus primarily on productive symptoms. The authors describe the Quality of Life Scale (QLS), a 21-item scale based on a semistructured interview designed to assess deficit symptoms and thereby fill an important gap in the range of instruments now available. Data regarding reliability and training in the use of the QLS are presented. A factor analysis of the items yields results compatible with the conceptual model on which the scale is based. The factor analysis was also performed separately by sex and was fundamentally similar for men and women.

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.
