The 13-MD is a new generic instrument developed to measure general health-related quality of life (GHRQoL). This instrument considers all aspects of health (i.e., physical, mental, and social) in a balanced way. A previous study led to minor changes in the original version of the 13-MD. The objective of this study was to confirm the validity of the modified 13-MD.
Validity was assessed with recent data from the general population of Quebec, Canada. The meta-dimensions and items composing the 13-MD were also subjected to a ranking procedure, which allowed to determine the most important aspects for respondents.
A total of 1337 French-speaking participants were recruited with 1099 completing the 13-MD for validation purposes and 1084 completing the ranking procedure. The 13-MD showed very satisfactory results and confirmed to be a valid instrument. The ranking of the meta-dimensions revealed that "Well-being" received the most points, followed by "Sleep and energy" and "Body functioning."
These results will be very useful in the continuous improvement of the 13-MD, ultimately leading to the valuation stage (i.e., development of a value set).
13项健康状况量表（13-MD）是一种新开发的通用工具，用于测量与总体健康相关的生活质量（GHRQoL）。该工具以平衡的方式考虑了健康的各个方面（即身体、心理和社会方面）。先前的一项研究对13-MD的原始版本进行了细微修改。本研究的目的是确认修改后的13-MD的有效性。
使用来自加拿大魁北克省普通人群的最新数据评估有效性。构成13-MD的元维度和项目也进行了排序程序，这有助于确定对受访者最重要的方面。
共招募了1337名说法语的参与者，其中1099人完成了13-MD以进行验证，1084人完成了排序程序。13-MD显示出非常令人满意的结果，并被确认为一种有效的工具。元维度的排名显示，“幸福感”得分最高，其次是“睡眠与精力”和“身体功能”。
这些结果对于13-MD的持续改进将非常有用，最终将进入估值阶段（即开发价值集）。
