A noteworthy floor impact was observed only within the least serious (None) group.Discussion QDIS combines the strengths of two traditions within QOL measurement. It harnesses the precision and title= journal.pone.0092276 discriminability of disease-specific assessment together with the comprehensiveness of generic QOL assessment. The outcome is an approach that differs from readily available disease-specific measures in noteworthy techniques. Initially, and foremost, itWare et al.
