Humanistic Outcomes Sample Clauses

Humanistic Outcomes. 5.5.1.1. St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) Quality of life will be assessed with the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at 24 weekly intervals at Visits 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 and also at Visit 15 in those countries where a linguistically valid translation is available. In some countries where there is currently not a linguistically valid translation of the SGRQ available (Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and Philippines) this study will be used as an opportunity to validate the SGRQ. Only linguistically valid translations, will be included in the primary analyses of SGRQ in this study. The SGRQ (3) is a disease-specific questionnaire designed to measure the impact of respiratory disease and its treatment on the subject’s health-related quality of life. As well as producing an overall summary score, it is also possible to calculate scores for the individual domains of symptoms, activity and impacts. It has been used widely in studies of COPD subjects and has been translated and validated for use in most major languages. Research has demonstrated that it is sensitive to change and interpretation of the results has been enhanced by determination of the score change necessary to achieve a clinically meaningful improvement in quality of life [Xxxxx, 1991]. The SGRQ is self-completed by subjects, taking on average 20 minutes. It is recommended that the SGRQ should be administered at the same time during each visit; adequate time (at least 20 minutes) should be allowed, although the subject will not be given any stated or implied time limit for completing the questionnaires. The investigator will ask the subject to complete the questionnaires as accurately as possible. Subjects should complete the SGRQ prior to receiving the results from their clinic visit spirometry. If the subject requests help or clarification of any question in the questionnaires, the investigator is to instruct the subject to re-read the instructions to give the best answer possible. The investigator will not supply the subject with an answer to any question.

Humanistic Outcomes. St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire A transformed score will be calculated for each of the three sub-scales (symptoms, impacts and activity) of the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the overall total score, in accordance with the developer’s scoring guidelines. Descriptive statistics will be reported for the sub-scale and total scores for baseline and all subsequent visits and at withdrawal. Change from baseline scores will be calculated by subtracting the baseline score from the score at the particular visit. Treatment comparisons for change from baseline will be analysed using ANCOVA with age, gender, country and baseline scores as covariates. These comparisons will be carried out for the total score and for each of the three sub-scales. Psychometric evaluation of the SGRQ will be carried out to confirm the instrument’s reliability, validity and sensitivity to change in accordance with the guidelines of the developer. In some countries where there is currently not a validated translation of the SGRQ available (Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and Philippines) this study will be used as an opportunity to validate the SGRQ. These unvalidated translations will not be included in the primary analyses of SGRQ in this study.
