Nottingham Health Profile

The first modem health status questionnaires were very long, but their results were well validated. The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) is an example of an early profile. It includes a physical dimension and a psychosocial dimen-sion. - A dimension is a quality or aspect that is a component of health. The SIP also includes five independent categories including sleep, rest, eating, work, and home management, as well as recreation and pastimes. More recently, shorter profiles have been developed such as the Nottingham Health Profile and the Medical Outcomes Study (MQS) 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) (Appendix 4). [Pg.805]

The above example is attractive in that it compares two forms of therapy. What it does not do is place a value on an extra year of life gained or indeed on the quality of life. Economists have worked hard at producing measures to quantify these two concepts. A number of indexes have been produced, the meaning of which is uncertain and discussion of which is beyond the scope of this chapter. They include the Nottingham Health Profile, the American Sickness Impact Profile and the Rosser Health Index." The Rosser Index has been used to produce a quality adjusted life year or QALY. Each year of life is discounted by a factor reflecting the disability and distress suffered during the year. The factor is obtained by asking people to estimate what number of years of perfect health would be equivalent to 10 years of life in a particular state of disability. [Pg.744]
