A novel instrument for assessing health-related quality of life in French patients: translation and multi-centre validation of the Zurich chronic middle ear inventory (ZCMEI-21-Fr)
The ZCMEI-21-Fr offers a valuable tool for assessing the psychosocial impact of COM in French-speaking patients. Its comprehensive coverage of HRQoL dimensions, including psychological effects, distinguishes it from existing instruments. The availability of a validated French version enhances the standardization of HRQoL assessment in COM patients on an international scale.
