BACKGROUND
This study aims to compare the development, characteristics and validity of two widely used tools in the breast cancer population, the EORTC QLQ-BR23 and the FACT-B.
METHODS
A literature search was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE, OLDMEDLINE, Embase, Embase Classic and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant studies.
RESULTS
Both tools were found to be reliable and valid. The QLQ-BR23 focuses on physical function, whereas the FACT-B emphasizes emotional well-being. Scoring, item format, organization and response options differ between questionnaires.
CONCLUSION
Overall, both questionnaires are effective in assessing breast cancer-specific quality of life. Clear similarities and differences between the two tools exist. Decision-making between the questionnaires should be based on the purpose and design of the study.
背景
本研究旨在比较两种在乳腺癌人群中广泛使用的工具，即欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织生活质量问卷-乳腺癌模块23（EORTC QLQ-BR23）和癌症治疗功能评价系统-乳腺癌量表（FACT-B）的发展、特点及效度。
方法
通过检索Ovid MEDLINE、OLDMEDLINE、Embase、Embase Classic以及Cochrane对照试验中心注册库来查找相关研究。
结果
发现这两种工具均可靠且有效。QLQ-BR23侧重于身体功能，而FACT-B强调情感幸福。问卷在评分、条目格式、结构及回答选项方面存在差异。
结论
总体而言，这两种问卷在评估乳腺癌特异性生活质量方面均有效。两种工具存在明显的异同。问卷之间的决策应基于研究目的和设计。
