Psychometric properties of Arabic-translated-related quality of life scales for people with parkinson disease: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) substantially contributes to poor functional outcomes, loss in productivity, and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite the existence of various scales, there is a notable gap in existing HRQoL reviews with regard to the availability of Arabic validated scales.
