Abstract

The study did not demonstrate significant correlation among the three quality of life measures. The SIP/ALS-19, SF-36, and QWB SA each have a different focus in measuring HRQOL. The healthcare practitioner should consider the patient's stage of disease, treatment goals, and type of interventions planned when selecting a HRQOL tool for the ALS patient.
