Patients experience substantial quality of life (QoL) impairments. The use of questionnaires for a continuous assessment of QoL and resulting interventions to improve the situation of the individual are an important cornerstone of a guideline\u2010based wound care. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of the Wound\u2010QoL questionnaire. Patients with chronic wounds from two different centers were included in the prospective study. All patients completed the Wound\u2010QoL and two other QoL questionnaires (European Quality of Life\u20105 Dimensions, EQ\u20105D, and Freiburg Life Quality Assessment for wounds, FLQA\u2010wk) at baseline and at two more time points (4 and 8 weeks, respectively). Wound status was defined with an anchor question. Two hundred and twenty\u2010seven patients (48.5% women) participated in the study. Mean age was 66.9 years (range 17\u201396, median 69.5). Indications were venous leg ulcers (40.1%), pyoderma gangraenosum (14.1%), diabetic or ischemic foot ulcers (5.3%), pressure ulcers (2.6%), and other etiologies (30.0%). The Wound\u2010QoL showed good internal consistency, with high Cronbach's alpha in all the subscales and in the global scale in all time points (&gt;0.8). Convergent validity was satisfactory since there were significantly (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.001) good correlations with the EQ\u20105D (range\u2009=\u20090.5\u20130.7) and FLQA\u2010wk global score (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.8) at every time point. Responsiveness was high, too. The Wound\u2010QoL is a simple, valid tool for the longitudinal assessment of QoL in patients with chronic wounds. This questionnaire is suitable for use in clinical trials, quality of care studies and clinical routine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12583","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,28]],"date-time":"2017-10-28T09:22:40Z","timestamp":1509182560000},"page":"852-857","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":65,"title":["Validity and feasibility of the wound\u2010QoL questionnaire on health\u2010related quality of life in chronic wounds"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Matthias","family":"Augustin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Health Services Research in Dermatology (CVderm) Institute for Health Services Research in Dermatology and Nursing (IVDP), University Medical Center Hamburg\u2010Eppendorf (UKE)  Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Conde Montero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Health Services Research in Dermatology (CVderm) Institute for Health Services Research in Dermatology and Nursing (IVDP), University Medical Center Hamburg\u2010Eppendorf (UKE)  Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Zander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Health Services Research in Dermatology (CVderm) Institute for Health Services Research in Dermatology and Nursing (IVDP), University Medical Center Hamburg\u2010Eppendorf (UKE)  Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katrin","family":"Baade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Health Services Research in Dermatology (CVderm) Institute for Health Services Research in Dermatology and Nursing (IVDP), University Medical Center Hamburg\u2010Eppendorf (UKE)  Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katharina","family":"Herberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Center for Health Services Research in Dermatology (CVderm) Institute for Health Services Research in Dermatology and Nursing (IVDP), University Medical Center Hamburg\u2010Eppendorf (UKE)  Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.
