The study findings show that the items in the SF-36v2® are applicable to adults with HP. The overall high levels of endorsement of items provide strong evidence of the measure's content validity for this population. The SF-36v2 is therefore recommended for usage in clinical trials examining adults with HP, although it is recommended that this generic measure be supplemented with disease-specific instruments such as the recently developed Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scale-Symptom (HPES-Symptom) and Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scale-Impact (HPES-Impact) measures.
