TL;DR
The VF-14 was reproducible in stable patients during an 8-month period, and it was more responsive to clinically significant changes in vision than was a generic health status measure (ie, the Sickness Impact Profile).

Medical CareThe Sickness Impact Profile: Development and Final Revision of a Health Status Measure
4,655 Citations1981Marilyn Bergner, Ruth A. Bobbitt +2 more
The final development of the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), a behaviorally based measure of health status, is presented and a technique for describing and assessing similarities and differences among groups was developed using profile and pattern analysis.
Medical CareEffect Sizes for Interpreting Changes in Health Status

It is concluded that effect sizes are an important tool that will facilitate the use and interpretation of health status measures in clinical research in arthritis and other chronic diseases.

Responsiveness should join reliability and validity as necessary requirements for instruments designed primarily to measure change over time in psychometric measures.
Controlled Clinical TrialsReproducibility and responsiveness of health status measures statistics and strategies for evaluation

Using data from a clinical trial of therapy for back pain, it is shown that reproducibility should generally be quantified with the intraclass correlation coefficient rather than the more common Pearson r.r. coefficient, and that reproduction by retest at one-to-two week intervals may result in more realistic estimates of the variability to be observed among control subjects in a longitudinal study.

The VF-14 is a reliable and valid measure of functional impairment caused by cataract and provides information not conveyed by visual acuity or a general measure of health status.

It is concluded that substantial visual disability is not captured by routine visual testing and that the ADVS is a reliable and valid measure of patient's perception of visual functional impairment.
Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyResponsiveness and validity in health status measurement: A clarification

Data from two studies are presented which clarify the relationship between the responsiveness and validity of instruments designed to measure health status in clinical trials and support the reproducibility, validity, and responsiveness of the questionnaire.
OphthalmologyNational Study of Cataract Surgery Outcomes
277 Citations1994Earl P. Steinberg, James M. Tielsch +10 more
Estimates of the proportion of patients benefiting from cataract surgery vary with the outcome measure used to measure benefit, suggesting change in VF-14 score, a measure of functional impairment related to vision, may be a better measure of the benefit of cataracts surgery than change in visual acuity.
Medical CareBarriers to the Use of Health Status Measures in Clinical Investigation, Patient Care, and Policy Research
244 Citations1989Richard A. Deyo, Donald L. Patrick
To facilitate a better intuitive grasp of health status scores, more comparisons with traditional clinical scales and physiologic measures are needed and more effort should be given to demonstrating (and improving) the responsiveness of scales to clinically important changes.

228 Citations1993M. Harvey Brenner
Regardless of treatment, improvement across quality of life functions occurred when visual function improved, and many types of functional degeneration observed in older populations, attributed to a decline in vision, can be slowed, or even reversed, when visualfunction improved.
Annual Review of Public HealthHealth Status Measures: An Overview and Guide for Selection
228 Citations1987Marilyn Bergner, Margaret Rothman
An operational definition of health is essential before the health level or health status of an individual or a population can be assessed and arriving at such a definition has become increasingly difficult as the emphasis of medical and health care has shifted from decrease in mortality and increase in longevity to improvement in the health-related quality of life.

This feature of the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is studied, comparing it with more traditional measures of functional status (the American Rheumatism Association (ARA) functional classification and a patient self-rating scale).

An Index for measuring Visual Functioning on the basis of self‐assessment is presented and evaluated clinically and statistically and the construct validity and the reliability are shown to be sufficient.
PubMedThe proximal-distal continuum of multiple health outcome measures: the case of cataract surgery.
119 Citations1995M. Harvey Brenner, Barbara Curbow +1 more
How this continuum can be used in the selection of outcome measures in health technology evaluation studies is indicated and several ways in which the placement of a specific health outcome measure in the proximal-distal continuum determines the overall statistical model of treatment and nontreatment variables are demonstrated.

62 Citations1995A M Damiano, Earl P. Steinberg +8 more
In patients undergoing cataract surgery, a disease-specific health status measure is more sensitive to preoperative functional impairment related to vision, and to change in functional impairment after cataracts surgery, than is a generic health status measures.
