Funded Activity Summary

The current proposal will validate a comprehensive diabetic retinopathy quality of life item bank using a computer adaptive testing system in an Australian, and Singapore-Chinese, -Malay and -Indian sample. The national and international translational applications of the final item bank for researchers, clinicians and policy planners will be substantial, allowing the outcomes of novel treatment therapies for diabetic retinopathy to be accurately assessed from the patient’s perspective resulting in better allocation of funding and resources.
