- -
- QLQ-H&N35 [8]: a self-administered questionnaire developed by EORTC to assess the perceived QoL in patients with head and neck cancer. It consists of 7 subscales with 35 items. Each item has a four-point scale (1: not at all, 2: a little bit 3: pretty much, 4: a lot). The scale score is transformed into a 0-to-100 scale and a high score on a symptom scale indicates a high symptom level. In this study, those patients who exceed the 75th percentile score are considered to have a poor QoL.
- -
- VHI-30 [9]: a self-administered questionnaire with 30 items divided into 3 subscales (Emotional, Functional and Physical) to assess voice disorders. Each item is scored from 0 to 5 (0: never, 1: hardly ever, 2: sometimes, 3: often, 4: always). According to the total score, four degrees of voice handicap are established, ranging from mild (0 to 30), moderate (31 to 60), severe (61 to 90) and grave (91 to 120).
- -
- HADS [21]: a self-administered mental health questionnaire developed for the detection and evaluation of mood disorders. It has 14 items divided into 2 subscales: Anxiety (HAD-A) and Depression (HAD-D). Patients rate each item on a 4-point scale (0–3), choosing the most representative number of their situation the week before. Scores > 11 in either of the subscales indicate probable psychological distress. Scores > 10 are considered indicative of morbidity. A score of 8–10 is interpreted as borderline or borderline case, and scores < 8 indicate the absence of significant morbidity.
