Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Meningiomas, which account for about 40% of primary central nervous system tumors, have significant psychological and social impacts, even without treatment. Their effect on quality of life is often underestimated and poorly documented. There is one validated questionnaire (MQOL) but it has not yet been translated into French. The project involves two phases: first, translating and linguistically validating the MQOL into French; second, scientifically validating the questionnaire with 50 meningioma patients using established scales (EQ-5D, Karnofsky, FACT-Br) to ensure its reliability and internal consistency.

- description
- The meningioma-specific quality-of-life questionnaire (MQOL) is an self-administered questionnaires and a validated tool used in practice in English, specifically applicable to patients with meningiomas, and was developed by a Canadian team (Baba A, Saha A, McCradden MD, Boparai K, Zhang S, Pirouzmand F, Edelstein K, Zadeh G, Cusimano MD. Development and validation of a patient-centered, meningioma-specific quality-of-life questionnaire. J Neurosurg. 2021 May 14;135(6):1685-1694. doi: 10.3171/2020.11.JNS201761. PMID: 33990085.) This project will involve applying the MQOL to a population of 50 patients and comparing it with self-administered questionnaires already validated in French practice (FACT-Br, Karnofsky, and EQ-5D). The purpose of all these questionnaires is to assess quality of life in patients. The EQ-5D and Karnofsky evaluate it in a general manner, while the FACT-Br is used in an oncological context.
