To derive and assess the validity of an Australian version of the SF-12 quality-of-life questionnaire.
Using regression methods and structural equation modelling to obtain item weights, an Australian version of the SF-12 was derived from Australian population survey data and compared to the existing United States (US) SF-12 variable set.
The Australian version of the SF-12 explained 94% of the variation for physical components summary (PCS) and the mental components summary (MCS) of the SF-36 questionnaire. There was high level of agreement on the MCS and PCS summary scores between both versions of the SF-12 and the SF-36.
Although it is possible to derive a valid Australian version of the SF-12 it is concluded the US version of the SF-12 be used for reasons of international comparability, but using item weights derived from structural equation modelling.
推导并评估澳大利亚版SF - 12生活质量问卷的有效性。
运用回归方法和结构方程模型来获取项目权重，从澳大利亚人口调查数据中推导澳大利亚版SF - 12，并与现有的美国SF - 12变量集进行比较。
澳大利亚版SF - 12解释了SF - 36问卷身体成分汇总（PCS）和心理成分汇总（MCS）变异的94%。两个版本的SF - 12与SF - 36在MCS和PCS汇总得分上有高度一致性。
虽然有可能推导出有效的澳大利亚版SF - 12，但出于国际可比性的原因，得出结论应使用美国版SF - 12，但要采用结构方程模型得出的项目权重。
