Effective assessment of treatment outcome and the development of successful rehabilitation for head and neck cancer patients demand an evaluation of the relevant parameters of functional status. This paper reports the development and testing of a new Performance Status Scale for Head and Neck Cancer Patients designed to assess the unique areas of dysfunction experienced by this population. The instrument is a simple, practical, clinician-rated assessment tool consisting of three subscales: (1) Understandability of Speech, (2) Normalcy of Diet, and (3) Eating in Public. The scale was administered to a group of 181 head and neck patients and a comparison group of 30 breast cancer patients. Results indicate that the scale is reliable across raters and sensitive to functional differences across a broad spectrum of head and neck cancer.
对头颈癌患者的治疗结果进行有效评估以及制定成功的康复方案，需要对功能状态的相关参数进行评估。本文报告了一种针对头颈癌患者的新的功能状态量表的开发与测试，该量表旨在评估这一人群所经历的独特功能障碍领域。该工具是一种简单、实用、由临床医生评定的评估工具，由三个子量表组成：（1）言语可懂度，（2）饮食正常度，以及（3）在公共场合进食。该量表应用于一组181名头颈癌患者和一组30名乳腺癌患者作为对照组。结果表明，该量表在不同评定者之间具有可靠性，并且对广泛的头颈癌患者的功能差异敏感。
