摘要

Background

The AP-7D is a preference-based measure that was recently developed for use in East and Southeast Asia. This study investigated the reliability and convergent validity of the new instrument.

Methods

For this, surveys were conducted in Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, and Singapore. In each country, 500 respondents were selected using quota sampling and were stratified by sex and age. We conducted a face-to-face survey in Japan and a web-based survey in the remaining countries at two time points. The AP-7D and the EQ-5D-5L were collected from all countries, and the SF-6D was only collected in Japan. The instruments’ reliabilities were confirmed by comparing the responses using self-report test–retest methods. For convergent validity, we compared responses provided to the AP-7D with those provided to the EQ-5D-5L and the SF-6D based on predetermined hypotheses.

Results

The percentage of agreement between the two surveys (in separate categories) was 73.9% (pain/discomfort), 71.2% (mental health), 68.6% (energy), 89.6% (mobility), 82.1% (work/school), 84.3% (social relations), and 86.4% (burden to others) in the five countries. These values demonstrate equivalent performance to those of the EQ-5D-5L. The kappa coefficients for the AP-7D items were similar to those for the EQ-5D-5L. In the correlation matrix between the AP-7D and EQ-5D-5L, correlation exceeded 0.5 in the following items: 0.69 between “mental health” (AP-7D) and “anxiety/depression” (EQ-5D-5L), 0.54 for “pain/discomfort” in both, 0.51 between “energy” (AP-7D) and “anxiety/depression” (EQ-5D-5L), and 0.50 for “mobility” in both.

Conclusions

The results of this survey showed the good test–retest reliability and convergent validity of the AP-7D. The basic psychometric properties of the new instrument were confirmed.
