Abstract
Developing measures for assessing health status and/or quality of life is a growth industry. Spilker and his colleagues [1] catalogue some 215 measures. McDowell and Newell [2] provide critical reviews of 85 measures of health. Bowling [3,4] assesses the use of 69 measures of health and over 200 disease-specific measures. Yet we see continuing efforts to develop new measures of general health status, disease-specific tools, and utility indices and measures of patient preferences. This activities have intensified with the commercialization and marketing of measures.
