A telephone survey of a national sample of 515 Medicare End Stage Renal Disease Program beneficiaries was conducted to obtain information on their health status and its determinants. The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) was applied during the interview process to obtain the health-status information. The reliability of each SF-36 health-status dimension was at least 0.85, and the validity of seven of the eight dimensions was high. Weighted least-squares regression results showed that health-status levels were often lower among older patients and Hispanic persons, and sometimes lower for those with low incomes. The implications of using the SF-36 for health-status measurement are also described.
对全国范围内515名医疗保险终末期肾病项目受益人的样本进行了电话调查，以获取他们的健康状况及其决定因素的信息。在访谈过程中应用了医学结果研究简表-36（SF-36）来获取健康状况信息。每个SF-36健康状况维度的信度至少为0.85，八个维度中的七个维度的效度较高。加权最小二乘回归结果表明，老年患者和西班牙裔人群的健康状况水平往往较低，低收入者的健康状况有时也较低。还描述了使用SF-36进行健康状况测量的意义。
