Measuring quality of life in cancer patients.
Abstract
The diagnosis and management of cancer can have a major impact on every aspect of a patient's quality of life. Despite its importance, quality of life is rarely a reported outcome in randomized clinical trials in cancer patients. Failure to collect quality-of-life information may reflect a lack of information among researchers and clinicians about the adequacy and relative merits of measures available for assessing quality of life. We reviewed the adequacy of the 17 existing scales for assessing quality of life in cancer patients against characteristics needed for an adequate measure. None of the existing measures met all of the criteria. Recommendations about the relative adequacy of existing scales were made.

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.
