In nrkoehler/qscorer: Procedures for Scoring Health-related Questionnaires

Description

An abridged five-item version of the 15-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) was developed (IIEF-5) to diagnose the presence and severity of erectile dysfunction (ED). (Rosen et al. 2000)

Usage

scoring_iief5(data, items = 1:5, keep = TRUE, nvalid = 5, digits = NULL)

Arguments

data	a data.frame containing the IIEF-5 items orderd from 1 to 5
items	A character vector with the IIEF-5 item names ordered from 1 to 5, or a numeric vector indicating the column numbers of the IIEF-5 items in data.
keep	Logical, whether to keep the single items and whether to return variables containing the number of non-missing items on each scale for each respondent. The default is TRUE.
nvalid	A numeric value indicating the number of non-missing items required for score calculations. The default is 5.
digits	Integer of length one: value to round to. No rounding by default.

Details

• Number of items: 5

• Item range: 1 to 5

• Reverse items: none

• Score range: 1 to 25

• Cut-off-values: 1-7 = 'Severe ED'; 8-11 = 'Moderate ED'; 12-16 = 'Mild-moderate ED'; 17-21 = 'Mild ED'; 22-25 = 'No ED'

• Minimal clinically important difference: none

• Treatment of missing values: No missing values allowed for score calculation
