Feasibility was tested on the basis of missing responses and response distribution. Structure was studied using factor analysis. The reliability of the Lymphoedema Quality-of-Life Questionnaire was assessed using Crohnbach\u2019s \u03b1 and test-retest reliability. Construct validity was tested by correlating Lymphoedema Quality-of-Life Questionnaire scores with the Short-Form (36) Health Survey scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The response rate was 88.2%.

The Lymphoedema Quality-of-Life Questionnaire correlated well with the physical component of the Short-Form (36) Health Survey and moderately with the mental component, suggesting that its construct validity was good.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Dutch Lymphoedema Quality-of-Life Questionnaire can be used for health-related quality-of-life research in lower limb lymphoedema patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0268355515586312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,8]],"date-time":"2015-05-08T20:00:16Z","timestamp":1431115216000},"page":"257-263","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Validation of the Lymphoedema Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (LYMQOL) in Dutch Patients Diagnosed with Lymphoedema of the Lower Limbs"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"CB","family":"van de Pas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Erasmus MC, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Polikliniek de Blaak, 3011 GB Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"AAM","family":"Biemans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Erasmus MC, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology, TweeSteden Ziekenhuis, 5042 AD Tilburg, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RSM","family":"Boonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polikliniek de Blaak, 3011 GB Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"PB","family":"Viehoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Erasmus MC, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Centre for Physical and Manual Therapy \u2018t Gilde (PBV), Gorinchem, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"HAM","family":"Neumann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Erasmus MC, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Polikliniek de Blaak, 3011 GB Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0268355515586312","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2002.11.5.10113"},{"key":"bibr2-0268355515586312","first-page":"43","volume":"44","author":"Szuba A","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Nucl Med"},{"key":"bibr3-0268355515586312","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1113\/jphysiol.2007.130401"},{"key":"bibr4-0268355515586312","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.sap.0000257149.42922.7e"},{"key":"bibr5-0268355515586312","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1413.014"},{"key":"bibr6-0268355515586312","first-page":"146","volume":"42","author":"Piller N","year":"2009","journal-title":"Lymphology"},{"key":"bibr7-0268355515586312","first-page":"193","volume":"39","author":"Jager G","year":"2006","journal-title":"Lymphology"},{"key":"bibr8-0268355515586312","unstructured":"Lymphoedema framework.
