The short health scale for eosinophilic oesophagitis: validation and clinical applicability in 159 Danish patients

Key Points

This research aims to validate the Short Health Scale for assessing health in eosinophilic oesophagitis patients.
Conducted a validation study
Involved 159 Danish patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis
Evaluated patient's subjective health using the SHS-EoE
Measured responsiveness to changes over time
The SHS-EoE effectively assesses subjective health in EoE patients
Short completion time enhances its practicality for clinical settings
Further evaluation is needed for its responsiveness to changes in health status

Abstract

The study demonstrated that the SHS-EoE is suitable for assessing subjective health in patient with EoE, although responsiveness to change requires further evaluation. Its short completion time makes it a practical tool for routine collection of patient-reported outcomes.
