The AF Effect on Quality-of-Life questionnaire - AFEQT for short - is a reliable and responsive measure of quality of life, developed especially for atrial fibrillation. This page addresses key questions you may have about the tool, used worldwide since 2010.
How does the AFEQT support physicians?
AFEQT evaluates health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and provides an overall score; plus scores for symptoms, daily activities, treatment concerns, and treatment satisfaction.
Highlights
- Validated questionnaire that was patient derived with expert clinical input
- Reliable: Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the global and subscales scores of the AFEQT questionnaire >0.8 indicating internal consistency
- Responsive: Moderate to large effect size observed for AFEQT scores following treatment intervention demonstrates responsiveness of AFEQT questionnaire
- Easy-to-use: 20 questions on 7-point Likert scale
- Five-minute completion time
Score interpretation
Overall or subscale scores range from 0-100.
A score of 0 corresponds to complete disability (or responding “extremely” limited, difficult or bothersome to all questions answered), while a score of 100 corresponds to no disability (or responding “not at all” limited, difficult or bothersome to all questions answered).
