| Abstract |
The aim of the study was to assess the validity, reliability and sensitivity of the FACT-P (version 4) in Chinese males with prostate cancer. Construct validity was assessed using Spearman's correlation test against the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12v2). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient and intra-class correlation coefficient, respectively. Sensitivity was determined by performing known-group comparisons by independent t test. FACT-P subscale scores had a moderate correlation with the corresponding SF-12v2 domain score that conceptually measures the similar construct providing evidence for adequate construct validity. Internal consistency was acceptable (α: 0.687-0.900) for all subscales aside from the Prostate Cancer Subscale (α: 0.505) and Trial Outcome Index (α: 0.562). FACT-P subscale and total scores showed good test-retest reliability (range 0.753-0.913). All total scales and most of the subscales were sensitive in detecting differences between patients with different levels of functional impairment but not different cancer stages or levels of prostate-specific antigen. The measure is a valid and reliable measure to assess the health-related quality of life of Chinese males with prostate cancer. The FACT-P is sensitive to detect difference between patients with varying functional status. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 April 2015.
All research outputs
#15,329,087
of 22,799,071 outputs
Outputs from Quality of Life Research
#1,677
of 2,844 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,782
of 237,938 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Quality of Life Research
#21
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,799,071 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,844 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 237,938 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
