Eighty-five volunteers with chronic MD took a self-administered MD POSI. The internal consistency form of reliability was determined by calculating Cronbach's \u03b1. The relationship between total MD POSI problem severity scores and responses to a global question concerning the degree to which his or her MD had changed the patient's life assessed construct-related validity. The total problem severity score yielded excellent reliability (Cronbach's \u03b1 = .928). No significant age or gender effects were seen. A highly statistically significant association was noted between total problem severity scores and the degree to which the patient's life had been changed by his or her MD (Spearman rank correlation = .526, p &lt; .0001), indicating excellent construct-related validity. The material included in the initial questionnaire provides important information that can be used clinically to quantify the impact of MD on patients' health status. A beta version of the instrument is in the process of validation and determination of its sensitivity to change in health status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949910800403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:38:05Z","timestamp":1412347085000},"page":"331-337","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Measuring the Effects of Meniere's Disease: Results of the Patient-Oriented Severity Index (MD POSI) Version 1"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Michael P.","family":"Murphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Seattle, Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George A.","family":"Gates","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Seattle, Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-6665(20)32317-3"},{"key":"bibr2-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1974.00780040372008"},{"key":"bibr3-000348949910800403","first-page":"389","volume":"7","author":"Snyder JM","year":"1982","journal-title":"Audiology"},{"key":"bibr4-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016488209128885"},{"key":"bibr5-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198803000-00009"},{"key":"bibr6-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459989310900408"},{"key":"bibr7-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.314.7080.572"},{"key":"bibr8-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01858175"},{"key":"bibr9-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1990.01870040046011"},{"key":"bibr10-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003446-198305000-00005"},{"key":"bibr11-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003446-198205000-00006"},{"key":"bibr12-000348949910800403","first-page":"453","volume-title":"Tinnitus 91: proceedings of the Fourth International Tinnitus Seminar","author":"Coles RRA","year":"1992"},{"key":"bibr13-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00206099209072912"},{"key":"bibr14-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2044-8260.1988.tb00778.x"},{"key":"bibr15-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003446-199012000-00005"},{"key":"bibr16-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1996.01890140029007"},{"key":"bibr17-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jshr.3401.197"},{"key":"bibr18-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0021-9681(86)90038-X"},{"key":"bibr19-000348949910800403","first-page":"277","volume":"19","author":"Deyo RA","year":"1984","journal-title":"Health Serv Res"},{"key":"bibr20-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0021-9681(87)90069-5"},{"key":"bibr21-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0895-4356(89)90128-5"},{"key":"bibr22-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0197-2456(89)90005-6"},{"key":"bibr23-000348949910800403","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0895-4356(94)90036-1"},{"key":"bibr24-000348949910800403","unstructured":"Perrin EB, Aaronson NK, Alonso J, Medical Outcomes Trust Scientific Advisory Committee Instrument Review Criteria.
