AB  - PURPOSE: To develop a quality of life instrument for Chinese patients with oral 
      cancer and to assess its reliability, validity and sensitivity. METHODS: A 
      44-item QOL questionnaire was developed with reference to the 36-item medical 
      outcomes study on short-form health status (SF-36) and University of Washington 
      Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL), combining with China's population and 
      socio-cultural characteristics, named as Zhengzhou university oral cancer quality 
      of life (ZZU-QOL) scale. Based on 271 patients, student's t test, correlation 
      analysis, factor analysis were performed for its reliability and validity using 
      SPSS 19.0 software package. RESULTS: Test-retest reliability: in all areas and 
      for total score between 2 measurements of the correlation coefficient in the 
      range of 0.86-1.00, there was no significant difference. Homogeneity reliability: 
      Cornbrash'a coefficient in all fields was larger than 0.6, indicating the scale 
      had good reliability. Construct validity: ZZU-QOL, SF-36 analysis and UW-QOL 
      scale factor selected by the first seven cumulative contribution factor variance 
      were 69.3%, 63.4% and 66.5%. The criterion validity with SF-36 and UW-QOL was 
      0.768 and 0.634, respectively. The ZZU-QOL scale can sensitively distinguish 
      differences in preoperative and postoperative quality of life of oral cancer. 
      CONCLUSIONS: The ZZU-QOL scale is practical, reliable and valid, and might be 
      used for measuring the quality of life in Chinese patients with oral cancer.
