We aimed to conduct psychometric tests for the Chinese version of ICECAP-A and compare the differences between ICECAP-A and EQ-5D-3L for patients with T2DM and explore the relationship between clinical conditions and ICECAP-A through diabetes-related clinical indicators.
Data were collected from a sample of 492 Chinese T2DM patients. The reliability and validity of the ICECAP-A were verified. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), correlation analysis and regression analysis were conducted for both the ICECAP-A and EQ-5D-3L.
Our results show that the Chinese version of ICECAP-A has good internal consistency with an overall Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.721. The mean scores of ICECAP-A and EQ-5D-3L are 0.85 vs. 0.94. A weak correlation (r = 0.116) was found between the ICECAP-A tariff and EQ-5D-3L utility. EFA showed that although the five dimensions of the ICECAP-A and EQ-5D-3L scales were loaded into two different factors respectively. However, the two scales captured different dimensions of quality of life and can complement each other. The ICECAP-A, EQ-5D-3L, and EQ-VAS scores showed differences across different socio-demographic characteristics and clinic conditions groups.
The Chinese version of the ICECAP-A capability instrument can be for assessing outcomes in adults with T2DM. It may capture more dimensions of QoL than traditional Health-related QoL (HRQoL) instruments and may be useful for economic evaluations of health care and social care for people with T2DM or other chronic diseases.
我们旨在对中文版ICECAP - A进行心理测量测试，比较2型糖尿病患者ICECAP - A与EQ - 5D - 3L之间的差异，并通过糖尿病相关临床指标探索临床状况与ICECAP - A之间的关系。
收集了492名中国2型糖尿病患者的样本数据。验证了ICECAP - A的信度和效度。对ICECAP - A和EQ - 5D - 3L进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）、相关性分析和回归分析。
我们的结果表明，中文版ICECAP - A具有良好的内部一致性，总体Cronbach's Alpha系数为0.721。ICECAP - A和EQ - 5D - 3L的平均得分分别为0.85和0.94。ICECAP - A关税与EQ - 5D - 3L效用之间存在弱相关性（r = 0.116）。EFA表明，虽然ICECAP - A和EQ - 5D - 3L量表的五个维度分别加载到两个不同的因素中。然而，这两个量表捕捉了不同的生活质量维度，可以相互补充。ICECAP - A、EQ - 5D - 3L和EQ - VAS得分在不同的社会人口学特征和临床状况组之间存在差异。
中文版ICECAP - A能力工具可用于评估2型糖尿病成人患者的结局。它可能比传统的健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）工具捕捉更多的生活质量维度，并且可能对2型糖尿病或其他慢性病患者的医疗保健和社会护理的经济评估有用。
