Psychometric Properties of the SarQoL Questionnaire: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Sarcopenia and Quality of Life (SarQoL) questionnaire is recognized as the only disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for assessing sarcopenia-related HRQoL. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide a quantitative summary of all evidence reported on the reliability, validity, responsiveness and floor/ceiling effects of SarQoL in older adults.

Methods

Following PRISMA-COSMIN guidelines, a systematic search for studies evaluating the psychometric properties of SarQoL (i.e., reliability, validity, responsiveness and floor and ceiling effects) in older people was conducted on MEDLINE (via OVID), PsycINFO, Scopus and EMBASE. Studies published between 2013 and November 2024 using a consensual definition of sarcopenia were included
