The EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire for cancer patients (QLQ‐C30): Australian general population reference values
17 June 2019 - Mercieca‐Bebber and colleagues set out generate Australian general population reference values for the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire for cancer patients, to compare Australian values with published EORTC general population reference values and to explore associations between socio‐demographic and health characteristics and QLQ‐C30 subscale scores.
1979 people were quota‐sampled from a national online survey panel to be representative of the Australian general population by age and sex.
Data for 1821 participants were analysed (92% completion rate); 924 (50.7%) were women. Higher psychological distress was associated with worse outcomes on all QLQ‐C30 subscales.
