Functional and Cognitive Impairments Increased Risks of Outcomes of Healthcare Utilization in Patients With Stroke Receiving Home and Community-Based Care in Taiwan
Aim: Stroke is a leading cause of disability; however, little is known about the outcomes of the utilization of long-term care (LTC) recipients in Taiwan. This study aimed to quantify the burdens of disease of stroke survivors receiving LTC by evaluating the outcomes of their utilization including mortality, readmissions, and re-emergency within 1 year after diagnoses of strokes. Methods: By interlinkages among the national mortality registry, LT…
Can We Apply WHOQOL-AGE to Asian Population? Verifying Its Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties in a Convenience Sample From Taiwan
Objectives: To translate and validate a recently developed quality of life instrument (WHOQOL-AGE) on geriatric population into Chinese. Method: Using cross-sectional observational design, the WHOQOL-AGE was conducted among older people through interview. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to examine the factor structure and multigroup CFA used to examine the measurement invariance. Results: Through convenience sampling, 522 older adults…
Green space structures and schizophrenia incidence in Taiwan: Is there an association
A growing body of research indicates overall greenness offers potential psychological benefits. However, few studies have explored green space structures and their potential association with mental disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the existence of such an association. From two million randomly sampled people in Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, we selected 3823 patients that received a first-time diagnosis of …
Independent and synergistic effects of self- and public stigmas on quality of life of HIV-infected persons
Stigma has a potential impact on the quality of life of HIV-infected individuals over time. There is little empirical evidence regarding the first appearance and dynamic changes among different types of stigma, self-stigma and public-stigma, and their impacts on quality of life over time in HIV-infected persons. The purpose of this study was to assess the dynamic changes in self-stigma and public-stigma along the time course and determined their …
Causes of death and expected years of life lost among treated opioid-dependent individuals in the United States and Taiwan
Rasch models suggested the satisfactory psychometric properties of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief among lung cancer patients
The study examined whether the items of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief questionnaire can assess its four underlying domains (Physical, Psychological, Social, and Environment) in a sample of lung cancer patients. All patients ( n = 1150) were recruited from a medical center in Tainan, and each participant completed the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief. Several Rasch rating scale models were used to examine the d…
Health-related quality of life after first-line anti-cancer treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer in clinical practice
Estimation of Physical Functional Disabilities and Long-term Care Needs for Patients Under Maintenance Hemodialysis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Physical functional disabilities in hemodialysis (HD) patients may increase their mortality and long-term care needs. The aim of this study was to estimate the changes of proportion for different physical functional disabilities along time after beginning HD and the lifelong care needs. METHODS: We used a population-based cohort consisting of 84,657 incident HD patients in Taiwan between 1998 and 2009 to estimate the su…
Validation of the WHOQOL-HIV BREF among HIV-infected patients in Taiwan
Psychometric properties and gender invariance of the Chinese version of the self-report pediatric quality of life inventory version 4.0: Short form is acceptable
BSRS-5 (5-item Brief Symptom Rating Scale) scores affect every aspect of quality of life measured by WHOQOL-BREF in healthy workers
The BSRS-5 score is predictive for scores of all four domains and 26 items of the Taiwanese version of the WHOQOL-BREF for regular factory workers
Comparison of the quality of life between patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and healthy controls
Measurement of quality of life using EQ-5D in patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation: Comparison of patients, family caregivers, and nurses
Validation of the medical outcomes study HIV (MOS-HIV) health survey among HIV-infected patients in Taiwan
Quality-Adjusted Life-Years and Helmet Use Among Motorcyclists Sustaining Head Injuries
Objectives. We estimated loss of quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE) among motorcyclists in Taiwan who sustained head injuries while wearing or not wearing a helmet. Methods. Patients with head injuries (n = 3328) were grouped into categories representing good and poor outcomes (moderate disability or death) at discharge. After linkage with the National Mortality Registry, survival functions were determined and extrapolated over a 50-year per…
Can the Web-Form WHOQOL-BREF be an Alternative to the Paper-Form
An empirical comparison of the WHOQOL-BREF and the SGRQ among patients with COPD
Both the WHOQOL-BREF and the SGRQ showed comparable reliability and validity. Items related to mobility/walking and ADL may be useful in clinical screening for lung function impairment
