Clinical meaning can be assigned to scores of health status measures by using a variety of approaches. The anchor-based approach involves determining the difference on a quality of life (QOL) scale that corresponds to a self-reported small but important change on a global scale given concomitantly, which serves as an independent anchor. This article focuses on the anchor-based banding approach and reviews methods to assign clinical meaning to QOL measures, specifically the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Skindex. This article also includes pilot data that compares the DLQI and Skindex using these previously validated banding systems.
可以通过多种方法为健康状况量表的分数赋予临床意义。基于锚定的方法包括确定与同时报告的全球范围内的小但重要的变化相对应的生活质量（QOL）量表上的差异，该差异作为独立的锚定点。本文重点介绍基于锚定的分组方法，并回顾为 QOL 量表赋予临床意义的方法，特别是皮肤病生活质量指数（DLQI）和 Skindex。本文还包括使用这些经过验证的分组系统比较 DLQI 和 Skindex 的试点数据。
