Systematic review and standardized comparison of health-related quality-of-life instruments available for patients with oral cavity cancer and oropharyngeal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To identify HRQoL instruments available for oral cavity cancer (OCC) or oropharyngeal cancer (OC) patients and to summarize the evidence on conceptual model measurement, psychometric and administration properties.

Materials and methods

We searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and LILACS until April 2023. We included studies evaluating the concept model measurement, psychometric and administration properties of instruments measuring HRQoL in OCC or OC patients. Two researchers assessed each instrument independently, using the Evaluating Measures of Patient-Reported Outcomes (EMPRO) tool. We calculated the overall and seven attribute-specific scores (range 0-100) using the conceptual and measurement model, reliability, validity, responsiveness, interpretability, burden
