Karnofsky's scale is one of the indexes most frequently used to measure cancer patients' quality of life. The main problem encountered when trying to verify it is the degree of subjectivity inherent in it. Due to this, an attempt was made to create a more objective measuring instrument based on Karnofsky's scale. To this end, a retrospective study involving 300 outpatients was carried out. For these patients, their Karnofsky index was determined by two independent agents: the patient's oncologist and the nursing team which complied its measure based on a survey answered by the patient himself/herself. The differences between these two methods proved to be statistically insignificant.
卡诺夫斯基量表是最常用于衡量癌症患者生活质量的指标之一。在试图验证该量表时遇到的主要问题是其固有的主观程度。因此，人们尝试在卡诺夫斯基量表的基础上创建一种更客观的测量工具。为此，开展了一项涉及300名门诊患者的回顾性研究。对于这些患者，他们的卡诺夫斯基指数由两名独立人员确定：患者的肿瘤医生以及根据患者本人回答的调查问卷进行测量的护理团队。这两种方法之间的差异经证明在统计学上不显著。
