PURPOSE
To compare the readability of the English language versions of 3 heart disease health-related quality of life questionnaires, the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) Questionnaire, the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), and the MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life (MacNew) Questionnaire.
METHODS
The readability of the MLHF, the SAQ, and the MacNew was calculated using 6 different readability formulas; the FOG Index, the Fry Readability Formula for Short Passages, the Harris-Jacobson, the Flesch, the New Dale-Chall, and the SMOG.
RESULTS
The reading grade level of the MacNew averaged between the fifth and sixth grades. Readability of the MLHF and the SAQ averaged between the seventh and eighth grade levels.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that care should be taken to select heart disease health-related quality of life instruments that match closely the reading level of the target population as the ease of reading these 3 heart disease health-related quality of life instruments varies.
目的
比较 3 种心脏病相关生活质量问卷（明尼苏达心力衰竭生活质量问卷、西雅图心绞痛问卷和 MacNew 心脏疾病生活质量问卷）的英文版本的可读性。
方法
使用 6 种不同的可读性公式（FOG 指数、短篇幅弗莱阅读公式、哈里斯-雅各布森公式、Flesch 公式、新 Dale-Chall 公式和 SMOG 公式）计算 MLHF、SAQ 和 MacNew 的可读性。
结果
MacNew 的阅读年级平均在五年级和六年级之间。MLHF 和 SAQ 的可读性平均在七年级和八年级之间。
结论
这些发现表明，应该注意选择与目标人群阅读水平相匹配的心脏病相关生活质量工具，因为这 3 种心脏病相关生活质量工具的阅读容易程度不同。
