Clinical and Diagnostic Efficiency of the Study of the Quality of Life According to the Questionnaires PHEC-22 and Catquest-9SF after Bilateral Cataract Phacoemulsification and Mon... by V. V. Neroev, N. I. Ovechkin

“…The results of a comparative study after bilateral cataract phacoemulsification and monofocal IOL implantation using the PHEC-22 and Catquest-9SF questionnaires revealed a significantly higher clinical and diagnostic efficiency of the PHEC-22 questionnaire, which is associated with the methodological principles for developing a questionnaire based on the “social model” of health with the involvement of expert ophthalmologists and the use of the optimal procedure for scaling the patient’s responses. The results obtained (taking into account clinical normalization) allow us to recommend the PHEC-22 questionnaire for inclusion in the complex diagnosis of patients with cataracts both before and after surgery in solving a number of urgent problems — a comparative assessment of IOL, a study of the effectiveness of methods for postoperative rehabilitation of patients, the choice of the optimal formula for calculating IOL and some others.…”
