Quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: translation, validity, reliability and sensitivity to change of the Norwegian version of the short health scale (SHS).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aims of this study were to investigate the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the short health scale (SHS), and to study the impact of socio-demographic and clinical data.
methodsA total of 140 patients without severe disease activity were included. The participants completed the SHS and three other well-validated HRQoL questionnaires short form 36, inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire and the rating form of inflammatory bowel disease patient concerns at the baseline. Sixty-three participants completed the SHS at a second visit after 6 months in order to calculate test-retest reliability and responsiveness. In addition, socio-demographic and clinical variables were obtained and entered into a linear regression analysis if they were found to be significantly associated with SHS outcome.
resultsValidity was confirmed by good correlation with other similar HRQoL constructs and the ability to discriminate between IBD symptom scores. The reliability was strong (Cronbach's α 0.85). The test-retest reliability in three out of four SHS items was weak, but the questionnaire demonstrated a good responsiveness. Current IBD symptoms were the most important predictor of SHS outcome.
conclusionsThe Norwegian SHS demonstrated satisfactory psychometrical properties and is suitable for use in the follow-up of IBD patients.
