General population and cancer patient norms for the functional assessment of cancer therapy-general (FACT-G)
Abstract
Given the number of new cancer cases diagnosed each year and the increases in survival rates, the importance of having a clinically useful health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument has increased. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) is one such instrument that has been used worldwide to assess HRQOL. Previously, the use of the FACT-G had been limited because of a lack of published normative data. Normative data are useful for consumers to place their results in an appropriate context by comparing their scores of individuals or group of individuals to a reference group. Here, we present normative data for the FACT-G for two reference groups: (a) a sample of the general U.S. adult population and (b) a large, heterogeneous sample of adult patients with cancer. In addition, we demonstrate various uses of the normative data.

The sample consisted of adults with high emotional distress and low mean HRQoL at pre-treatment when compared to established norms.
“The data indicate that the sample consisted of adults with high emotional distress and low mean HRQoL at pre-treatment when compared to established norms (Brucker et al., 2005).”

Baseline FACT-G Total was 52.5 (SD=13), lower than normative references for general American population and adult cancer patients.
“And lastly, the FACT-G Total (52.5 SD = 13) was lower than normative reference of a) the general American population 80.1 (SD = 18.1) b) a large heterogeneous sample of adult cancer patients 80.9 (SD = 17.0) (Brucker et al., 2005).”

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.
