Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Acromegaly Quality of Life (ACROQoL) Global Score [ Time Frame: Cross-sectional at baseline ]
    The Global Score of the Acromegaly Quality of Life (ACROQoL) Survey measures quality of life in patients with acromegaly. Higher scores indicate better QOL. The range is 22-110 units on a scale.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) Total Score [ Time Frame: Cross-sectional at baseline ]
    The total score for the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) measures quality of life with specific attention to gastrointestinal symptoms. The score ranges from 0-144 points on a scale. Higher scores indicating better quality of life.

  2. 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-36) Physical Health [ Time Frame: Cross-sectional at baseline ]
    The Physical Health Summary Score of the SF-36 is a quality of life measure of physical health. It ranges from 0 to 100 points on a scale. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. This survey is scored as demonstrated at https://www.rand.org/health/surveys_tools/mos/36-item-short-form/scoring.html. The Physical Health Summary Score (Physical Component Summary) is calculated as the mean average of the physically relevant questions.

  3. 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) Mental Health Summary Score [ Time Frame: Cross-sectional at baseline ]
    The Mental Health Summary Score of the SF-36 measures quality of life with a focus on mental health. It ranges from 0 to 100 points on a scale. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. This survey is scored as demonstrated at https://www.rand.org/health/surveys_tools/mos/36-item-short-form/scoring.html. The Mental Health Summary Score (Mental Component Summary) is calculated as the mean average of the emotionally relevant questions.
