Psychometric properties of health-related quality of life instruments used in survivors of critical illness: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a patient-reported measure of health status. However, research on the psychometric properties of HRQoL instruments used post-critical care is less common. We conducted a systematic review assessing the psychometric properties of HRQoL instruments used in adult survivors following critical illness.

Methods

Three databases were systematically searched between 1990 and June 2022. Screening articles for eligibility, we selected either development studies for new tools or studies that evaluated psychometric properties, and whose target population represented adult survivors following critical illness. Methodological quality was assessed using the COnsensus-Based Standards for the selection of health Measurement I
