Seventy-three patients with RA were assessed by means of the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS) and a number of clinical measures. Patients with RA scored higher than controls on the NHP scales for energy, pain, mobility and sleep. Energy, pain, mobility and emotions scales of the NHP correlate significantly with other measures such as clinical assessments, matching scales of the AIMS and the Beck Depression Inventory, indicating satisfactory validity for the instrument with RA. Five of the six scales of the NHP are stable on retesting. The social scale of the NHP on the other hand does not correlate with the matching instrument of the AIMS and is relatively unstable over time. Measurement properties of generic health status instruments such as the NHP will require serious attention as they are increasingly used in evaluation studies.
采用诺丁汉健康量表（NHP）、关节炎影响测量量表（AIMS）及多项临床指标对73例类风湿关节炎（RA）患者进行评估。RA患者在NHP量表的精力、疼痛、活动能力和睡眠方面的得分高于对照组。NHP量表的精力、疼痛、活动能力和情绪维度与其他测量指标（如临床评估、AIMS匹配量表及贝克抑郁量表）显著相关，表明该量表对RA患者具有良好的效度。NHP的六个维度中有五个在复测时较为稳定。另一方面，NHP的社会维度与AIMS的匹配工具不相关，且随时间推移相对不稳定。像NHP这样的一般健康状况测量工具的测量特性将需要得到认真关注，因为它们在评估研究中的使用越来越多。
