Abstract

Strabismus and amblyopia are known to cause visual dysfunction, self-image disorders, difficulty in seeking employment and social and emotional barriers. These factors can have a serious and detrimental effect upon the patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Presently, a condition-specific questionnaire is not available for assessing the HRQOL in Chinese patients. This study developed a Chinese version of the Amblyopia and Strabismus Questionnaire (ASQE) and tested its reliability and validity in Chinese adult strabismus patients. Chinese strabismus adults, adults with normal vision and patients with a variety of other eye diseases completed the Chinese version of the ASQE. Reliability was established by Cronbach's alpha and test-retest. Validity was evaluated by content, construct, criterion-related, convergent and discriminative validities. A total of 202 adult strabismus patients with or without amblyopia, 100 visually normal adults, and 100 patients with other eye diseases (excluding strabismus and amblyopia) participated in this study. Using principal components analysis, six domains were extracted, with a content validity of 0.91. Four items were deleted giving final total of 22 items in the questionnaire. The total score of the ASQE was significantly correlated to the Adult Strabismus Questionnaire (AS-20) (r = 0.642, P < 0.01). The median scores for the adult strabismus patients were significantly lower (worse HRQOL) compared with visually normal adults (66.32 vs. 92.71; P < 0.001) and patients with other eye diseases (66.32 vs. 79.50; P < 0.001) thus demonstrating good discriminative validity for the questionnaire. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for internal consistent reliability was 0.887 and the test-retest reliability was 0.946. The mean total score of the ASQE was 65.85 (SD = 15.32) and the domain 'social contact and appearance' recorded the lowest mean score 43.78 (SD = 13.92) in strabismus patients. The revised 22-item Chinese version of the ASQE showed good psychometric properties. It is suggested that this questionnaire provides a potentially useful measurement tool in clinical or research programs involving Chinese strabismus patients with or without associated amblyopia.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 June 2015.
All research outputs
#18,414,796
of 22,811,321 outputs
Outputs from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#1,671
of 2,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#190,836
of 264,930 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#25
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,811,321 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,159 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,930 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
