摘要

Objective: To evaluate the performance (in terms of responsiveness to change, associations with other criterion standards, and indicators of Alzheimer's disease [AD] severity) of a quality-of-life measure (Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease [QOL-AD]) and a health utility measure (Health Utilities Index Mark 3 [HUI-3]) from two recently completed clinical trials of a new drug for All. Methods: Change from baseline scores was calculated, and treatment effects were analyzed using mixed models for repeated measures. Three separate models were then estimated to examine the association between the quality-of-life/utility end points and the clinical and other health outcome end points measured during the trials, including cognition, function, behavior, and dependence. Results: The performance of the two measures differed. Subject-assessed QOL-AD was found to be weakly associated with clinical measures of cognition, and with caregiver reports of function, behavior, and dependence, and showed little movement over time and did not appear to differ by baseline AD severity. Proxy-assessed QOL-AD scores were consistently lower than subject-assessed scores, and the level of decline in QOL-AD was greater using proxy assessed QOL-AD. Proxy assessed HUI-3 scores were more strongly associated with clinical measures of cognition, function, behavior, and dependence than the subject- and proxy-assessed QOL-AD scores. Larger proportionate changes over 78 weeks were observed with HU1-3 scores and greater separation in HU1-3 scores by baseline seventy. Conclusions: Subject-assessed QOL-AD is less likely than proxy assessed QOL-AD to respond to changes in clinical measures used to track progression in clinical trials of subjects with mild to moderate AD. Proxy-assessed HU1-3 assessments were more in line with other outcome assessments and could therefore be better outcome measures to evaluate clinical progression in mild to moderate AD.
