Health-related quality of life in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta.

ABSTRACT: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly utilized as endpoints in clinical trials. The Short Form Health Survey-12 (SF-12v2) is a generic PROM for adults. We sought to evaluate the validity of SF-12v2 in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed in a large cohort of adults in a multicenter, observational, natural history study. Physical HRQoL scores were correlated with the Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire (GFAQ). We calculated sample sizes required in clinical trials with crossover and parallel-group designs to detect clinically meaningful changes in physical HRQoL. Three hundred and two adults with OI types I, III, and IV were enrolled. Physical HRQoL scores in the study population were
