Development of a Computerised Adaptive Testing and Equalisation Approaches to Assess Sleep and Quality of Life in Chronic Pain
The high response burden inherent to the use of multiple validated instruments to assess quality of life (QoL) and of sleep undermines their systematic application in the assessment of chronic pain, both in daily practice and research settings. To address this gap, this initial study demonstrated the feasibility of employing computerised adaptive testing for this purpose within a population with diverse chronic pain conditions; and provided equalisation functions that allow for crosstalk between widely used QoL and sleep assessment tools.
