Abstract

The purpose of this review is to assess the worldwide clinical utilisation of Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and New Five-factor Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI-5F) for various clinical and scientific objectives, as well as to validate its application in Latvia. Numerous articles indexed in the MedLine Library (Pubmed.gov) were examined, spanning from the initial GBI publication to the present. Various applications of these questionnaires have been investigated across multiple medical specialties, including otolaryngology, ophthalmology, urology, paediatric practice, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, oncology, and maxillofacial surgery in different countries. The use of the questionnaire in Latvia, following examples from other countries, can aid in assessing factors such as General Health, Support, Quality of Life, Self-Confidence and Social Involvement post-intervention in chronic conditions. This could help compare treatment outcome data both in clinical practice within our country and within the scientific community on an international level.
