Measuring health related quality of life in diabetes: The validation of the diabetes health profile (DHP-18) and the development of a brief measure of diabetes related HRQL (DHP-12) (2012)
There is a need to validate
existing patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) to provide evidence on their
validity. Subsequently, short measures
can be developed from validated PROMS to lessen respondent burden. The aim of this study was to:
•Validate
the three domain conceptual framework of the
Diabetes Health Profile (DHP-18)
•Apply
Rasch analysis to investigate the
performance of the DHP-18 and develop a short 12 item version (DHP-12).
