Background

The primary outcome measures for patients who undergo aesthetic facial procedures are quality of life and satisfaction with appearance. The FACE-Q, a new patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument composed of independently functioning scales, is designed to measure a broad range of important outcomes in patients who undergo cosmetic surgical and/or nonsurgical facial procedures.

Objectives

The authors describe the development and psychometric evaluation of the FACE-Q Aging Appraisal Scale and the FACE-Q Patient-Perceived Age Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Methods

International guidelines for creating PRO instruments were strictly observed throughout development of the FACE-Q scales. Qualitative methods were used to identify the concepts most important to patients who received aesthetic facial procedures. These were turned into “items”—and the resultant FACE-Q Aging Appraisal Scale was field tested, along with the Patient-Perceived Age VAS, in 288 patients who underwent cosmetic surgical and/or nonsurgical facial procedures.

Results

Rasch measurement theory and traditional psychometric methods confirmed the reliability and validity of the scales.

Conclusions

The FACE-Q Aging Appraisal Scale and Patient-Perceived Age VAS are psychometrically sound, condition-specific PRO instruments with excellent reliability and validity. They enable accurate outcome assessments in patients who undergo aesthetic facial procedures.

背景

接受面部美容手术的患者的主要结果指标是生活质量和对外观的满意度。Face-Q是一种新的患者报告结果(PRO)工具，由独立功能的量表组成，旨在测量接受整容手术和/或非手术面部手术的患者的广泛重要结果。

目的

介绍Face-Q衰老评定量表和Face-Q患者感知年龄视觉模拟量表(VAS)的研制和心理测量学评价。

方法

在Face-Q量表的研制过程中，严格遵守PRO器械的国际指南。定性的方法被用来确定对接受美容面部手术的患者最重要的概念。这些都变成了“项目”— 并对288名接受整容手术和/或非手术面部手术的患者进行了现场测试，并与患者感知年龄VAS一起进行了Face-Q衰老评估量表。

结果

Rasch测量理论和传统心理测量学方法验证了量表的信度和效度。

结论

“面孔Q老化评定量表”和“患者感知年龄VAS”具有较好的信度和效度，具有良好的心理测量学意义。它们能够对接受美容面部手术的患者进行准确的结果评估。
