Abstract:

Aim — to develop a software tool in order to optimize assessment of quality of life in patients with venous ulcers based on CCVUQ questionnaire. Material and methods. «CCVUQ Calculator» was developed on the basis of Charing Cross Venous Ulceration Questionnaire. Free Pascal and Lazarus IDE languages were used. Results. The program allows to automate formalization of patients’ answers and calculation of the resulting quality of life indicators. The data can be saved in the database or exported as a table (*.csv) file. «CCVUQ Calculator» has an intuitively clear interface and is easy to use. Currently the program can be used in four languages: English (original language of the questionnaire), Russian, Circassian and Portuguese. Certain corrections of the formalization of questions and advanced mathematical algorithms made it possible to adequately assess the indicators in dynamics and to calculate the results in case of missing (or not selecting) answer(s) by the client. The application has passed the state registration procedure; a certificate of state registration of the computer program No. 2018612377 has been received. Conclusion. «CCVUQ Calculator» allows solving some problems associated with time loss, technical errors, laboriousness. Therefore, analysis of the results of examination of patients with venous ulcers may be optimized. Multilingual interface extends the applicability of the programme.
