Patient-Reported Outcomes Assessments: Spotlight on the Quality of Life Disease Impact Scale (QDIS®)

A new approach to improving patient-reported disease-specific quality of life measures: shorter, more clinically valid and standardized across conditions.

  • Published in 2016
  • Developed during the Computerized Adaptive Assessment of Disease Impact (DICAT) project supported by the NIH to generate a more comprehensive PRO measure of disease-specific impact of which content and scoring could be standardized for comparison across different conditions
  • QDIS-CAT-6 is a 6-item short-form using a 25-item QDIS bank in computerized adaptive administration
  • Other versions exist: QDIS-7, QDIS-1, and QDIS-MCC
