Instrument Scoring
NASH-CHECK has 28 items including: six symptom scale scores (5 single-symptom items assessing Abdominal Pain, Abdominal Bloating, Fatigue, Sleep, and Itchy Skin and 1 symptom scale assessing Cognitive Symptoms [4 items]; and 3 HRQOL scales assessing Activity Limitations (8 items), Emotional Impact (4 items), and Social Impact (7 items).
All symptom items employ an 11-point numerical rating scale (response anchors: no symptom to worst possible symptom), the activity limitations a 5-point response scale (responses ranging from ‘no difficulty’ to ‘unable to do’), and emotions and lifestyle items a 4-point response scale (responses ranging from ‘not at all’ to ‘very much’). All single item and scale scores from range 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more greater impairment on the underlying construct.
