The IWQOL-Lite-CT is a validated patient-reported outcome measure that accurately detects clinically meaningful improvements in physical and psychosocial functioning in patients with overweight or obesity undergoing weight management interventions.
Use the IWQOL-Lite-CT to track how weight loss interventions impact patients' daily physical and psychosocial functioning. It is a validated, 20-item questionnaire that provides a comprehensive assessment of treatment benefit from the patient's perspective, suitable for clinical trials and potentially clinical practice to gauge meaningful within-patient change.
The IWQOL-Lite-CT, a comprehensive assessment of weight-related functioning from the patient perspective, is appropriate for use in clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of new treatments for weight management.
Why this rating
Based on confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, and validity data from two large, pivotal phase 3a clinical trials (STEP 1 and STEP 2).
