Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Construct validity: Assessment two weeks (±2 working days) after admission to the clinic.<br>hypothesis-based approach: hypotheses concerning expected correlations between the SF-SIS and comparative assessments (SIS 2.0, EQ 5D, NHISS, DEMMI) and for differences between known groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Test-retest-reliability: Intra-Class-Correlation (ICC). Assessment in a subgroup of 50 participants, 1week (±1 working day) after the first measurement point.<br><br>Responsiveness: Before clinic dismissal (at least 2 weeks after the first measurement point) all participants will be reassessed.<br>hypothesis-based approach, testing correlations of change scores of the SF-SIS with those of the comparative assessments. Determination of the Area Under the Curve (AUC) for changes in quality of life (yes/no). <br>
