Objective Medical outcomes study, 14-item short-form health-survey for chronic venous insufficiency (MOS CIVIQ14) used in medical screening were reliable subsequent to reliability test. A cut-off score less than 75 to support primary screening of chronic venous disease (CVD) suggested in other study may cause false negative. The analysis of MOS CIVIQ14 Thai version used for 120 participants interviews in hospital during clinical trial recruitment, included 42 CVD patients attempted as ad hoc analysis of MOS CIVIQ14 score. Interviews data of a 12-item short-form health-survey (MOS SF12) were compared. Result The inter-scale correlation and internal consistency reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, of MOS CIVIQ14 score were 0.914(global score), 0.867(physical/pain score), 0.787(psychological score). MOS CIVIQ14 and MOS SF12 scores were correlated for physical/pain and global score with Pearson correlation coefficient, 95%CI of 0.713(0.663 to 0.790), p<0.001 and 0.745(0.640 to 0.819), p<0.001 but not for psychological score of -0.062(-0.197 to 0.091), p=0.501. Global score of MOS CIVIQ14 significantly correlated four leg symptoms with Correlation Matrix(CM) of 0762, 0.723,0.765, 0.787, all P<0.001 except for psychological score. High incidence of CVD noted regardless of MOS CIVIQ14 reflecting high mean(SD), median global index score of 84.7(12.6), 87.8 despite suggested lower cut-off score in some study.
