Can in-the-moment diary methods measure health-related quality of life in Duchenne muscular dystrophy?

Aim: To investigate whether in-the-moment diary reports of daily experience, taken collectively, are a valid representation of health-related quality of life (HRQL).Methods: A total of 35 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were recruited through four neuromuscular care providers across Aust...

      ab: Aim: To investigate whether in-the-moment diary reports of daily experience, taken collectively, are a valid representation of health-related quality of life (HRQL).Methods: A total of 35 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were recruited through four neuromuscular care providers across Australia. Participants completed the PedsQL™ Generic Core scales and one week of experience-sampling diary reporting on a personal digital assistant. Rasch analysis was undertaken on the diary data to derive a single valid measure score. The resulting measure score for each participant was correlated with the summary score from the PedsQL™ Generic Core scales to examine whether daily experience was representative of HRQL.Results: The daily diary method showed good metric properties, with adequate goodness of fit for data from items and participants suggesting unidimensionality of the construct: quality of everyday experience. The correlation of the daily diary measure score with overall PedsQL™ summary score showed moderate agreement (r = .60, p = 0.001).Conclusions: The benefits of measuring daily quality of life include detailed descriptions of day-to-day experiences of children without the need for retrospective recall. Diary methods on an electronic platform or software application for personal devices may be a useful tool to understand HRQL as the repeated measures data provide a detailed experience directly from the child and the platform makes data completion highly motivating.
