AB  - OBJECTIVES: International Osteoporosis Foundation Quality of Life questionnaire
(QUALEFFO-41) is the specific questionnaire for the postmenopausal women
with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. Reliability of the questionnaire could
be confirmed by sensitivity and specificity. The objective of this stidy is to test
the sensitivity and specificity of the QUALEFFO-41 questionnaire. METHODS: A
case-control study was conducted during the period of June 2010 - October 2011
to test the main characteristics of the questionnaire. The study included 100
patients with osteoporosis (50 cases with vertebral fractures and 50 controls
without fractures). The questionnaire EQ-5D (with direct-scoring) was used for
comparison of the results with the QUALEFFO-41 (with reverse-scoring). The
study was performed in two medical centers in Serbia. RESULTS: The results of
the ROC curve analysis (between the case and control group of patients)
indicated that the AUC ranges for all five dimensions of the QUALEFFO-41
questionnaire and the total score were 0.62–0.69. The QUALEFFO-41 had a better
prediction of the value of HRQOL of cases compared to the generic questionnaire
EQ-5D (the AUC difference of the total scores was 0.099, p=0.013). Correlations
between the total scores of the QUALEFFO-41 and the EQ-5D health state value,
for both groups, were negative and statistically significant (r=-0.78, p<0.001 and r
= -0.73, p<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The QUALEFFO-41 has the ability
to detect the patients with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures among the
osteoporosis patients. This questionnaire is more specific for the osteoporosis
patients with fractures in relation to the EQ-5D questionnaire.
