  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the health related quality of life of subjects who have Hereditary Multiple Exostoses and to develop a disease specific quality of life survey. Our hypothesis is that there is a wide range of quality of life experience for patients with this syndrome.


Condition
Exostoses, Multiple Hereditary

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Case-Only

Detailed Description:

At the time of recruitment, subjects will be asked to indicate whether they would like to participate in a one-time survey or are willing to participate in the initial survey plus two additional questionnaire administrations thereafter that will be used to develop the disease-specific quality of life (QOL) score. All participants will fill out either the SF-36 survey (for adult HME subjects) or the CHQ PF (for parents of children with HME), as applicable, in addition to a blank form with categorical subheadings (such as recreation, social function, etc.) that they will use to address any issues not covered in the standardized questionnaire. Standardized questionnaires will be scored and analyzed. The items listed on the second form will be compiled and re-applied to subjects that indicated interest in extended participation in survey completion. Subjects will be asked to determine which items apply to them and to rank these applicable items in order of importance. The results from this will be used to develop a 30 question, disease-specific questionnaire. The final step will be to re-administer this survey, in conjunction with the SF-36 or CHQ PF, and then follow up in two weeks with a second administration of the aforementioned surveys in order to test the variability and validity of the disease specific health related quality of life score.
