Reliability and validity of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip disease evaluation questionnaire (JHEQ) for patients with hip disease

BackgroundThe Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip disease evaluation questionnaire (JHEQ) was developed to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) in patients with hip disease. This questionnaire consists of three subscales: pain; movement; and mental. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the JHEQ for use as a clinical evaluation tool.MethodsWe investigated patients who visited the outpatient department at our hospital and affiliated hospital between April and May 2010. The study population comprised 286 patients (239 women) with a mean age of 56.8 years. The diagnosis was osteoarthritis of the hip in 230 patients, avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 49 patients, and other conditions in 7 patients. The JHEQ questionnaire, the SF-36 questionnaire as a generic QOL scale, and the Oxford hip score (OHS) as a disease-specific scale, were filled out by the patient while waiting in the outpatient department.ResultsPearson’s correlation coefficients of 0.6 were observed between JHEQ pain and SF-36 bodily pain (BP) subscales, and between JHEQ movement and SF-36 physical functioning (PF) subscales. The JHEQ mental subscale correlated with SF-36 social functioning (SF) and BP subscales. A strong negative correlation was seen between JHEQ pain and OHS pain subscales (r = ?0.817). JHEQ movement subscale also showed a strong negative correlation with the OHS function subscale (r = ?0.715). These results indicated the convergent validity of JHEQ. The internal consistency of pain, movement, and mental subscales of JHEQ was satisfactory, indicated by Cronbach’s α coefficients of 0.92, 0.91, and 0.94, respectively. Each subscale also showed high test–retest reliability with intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.89, 0.93, and 0.85, respectively.ConclusionsWe determined the reliability and validity of JHEQ as a self-administered questionnaire that evaluates hip disease. JHEQ is useful as a tool for evaluating patients with hip disease.     

Validation and reliability of a Japanese version of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index: A cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a simple disease specific questionnaire that is used to evaluate the impact of shoulder disorders. The purpose of this study was to translate the SPADI into Japanese (SPADI-Jp) and evaluate its reliability and validity in Japanese patients with shoulder disorders.MethodsCross-cultural adaptation of the SPADI was performed according to international guidelines. A total of 100 patients with shoulder disorders participated in this study. Each participant was asked to finish the SPADI-Jp, Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), and the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) at the initial visit. Thirty-four patients repeated the SPADI-Jp to assess the test–retest reliability. The test–retest reliability was quantified using the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC), while Cronbach's alpha was calculated to assess the internal consistency. The construct validity was assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients.ResultsInternal consistency in the SPADI-Jp was very high (0.969), as measured by the Cronbach's alpha. The ICC of the SPADI-Jp was 0.930. There was a strong, positive correlation between the DASH and the SPADI-Jp (r = 0.837, p < 0.001). The SPADI-Jp was significantly correlated with most of the SF-36 subscales. The correlations of the SPADI-Jp with physical subscales of the SF-36 were stronger than those with the other subscales.ConclusionsWe demonstrated that the SPADI-Jp is a reliable and valid self-assessment tool. Because cross-cultural adaptation, validation, and reliability of the disease-specific questionnaire for shoulder pain and disability have not been evaluated in Japan, the SPADI-Jp can be useful for evaluating such patients in the Japanese population.     

Validation of the Turkish version of the Revised Foot Function Index for patients with foot and ankle disorders

BackgroundThe revised Foot Function Index (FFI-R) is a multidimensional instrument that was developed to assess a patient’s self-reported health-related foot function. The FFI-R is clinically useful and easy to apply, and it has comprehensive subscales assessing the pain, stiffness, psychosocial stress, disability, and activity limitations related to foot and ankle problems. The present study was conducted to validate the Turkish version of the FFI-R, and to demonstrate its use in a Turkish population with various foot and ankle problems.MethodsThe English version of the FFI-R was translated into Turkish, and then, it was administered to 124 patients (mean age of 39.9 years old) with foot and ankle problems and a mean symptom duration of 7.9 months. These patients completed two well-established foot and ankle-specific patient-reported outcome measures, the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOX-FQ), and a general instrument, the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The test-retest reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient, and the internal consistency was measured using Cronbach’s alpha. The construct validity of the FFI-R was assessed by correlating its subscales with the FAOS, MOX-FQ, and SF-36 subscales.ResultsThe test-retest reliability of the FFI-R ranged between 0.84 and 0.97. The internal consistency was 0.97 for the overall FFI-R, and it ranged between 0.85 and 0.97 for the subscales. Significant correlations were obtained between the FFI-R subscales and the FAOS, MOX-FQ, and SF-36 subscales.ConclusionsThe Turkish version of the FFI-R was found to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the foot and ankle-related functional disability and health status of Turkish patients with foot and ankle problems.     

The reliability of the Vernon and Mior neck disability index, and its validity compared with the short form-36 health survey questionnaire

Prospective single cohort study. To evaluate the NDI by comparison with the SF36 health Survey Questionnaire. The NDI is a simple ten-item questionnaire used to assess patients with neck pain. The SF36 measures functional ability, well being and the overall health of patients. It is used as a gold standard in health economics to assess the health utility, gain and economic impact of medical interventions. One hundred and sixty patients with neck pain attending the spinal clinic completed self-assessment questionnaires. A second questionnaire was completed in 34 patients after a period of 1-2 weeks. The internal consistency of the NDI and SF36 was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. The test-retest reliability was assessed using the Bland and Altman method. The concurrent validity of the NDI with respect to the SF-36 was assessed using Pearson correlations. Both questionnaires showed robust internal consistency: Cronbach's alpha for the NDI scale was acceptable (0.864, 95% confidence limits 0.825-0.894) though slightly smaller than that of the SF36. The correlations between each item of the NDI scores and the total NDI score ranged from 0.447 to 0.659, (all with P < 0.001). The test-retest reliability of the NDI was high (intra-class correlation 0.93, 95% confidence limits 0.86-0.97) and comparable with the best values found for SF36. The correlations between NDI and SF36 domains ranged from -0.45 to -0.74 (all with P < 0.001). We have shown that the NDI has good reliability and validity and that it compares well with the SF36 in the spinal surgery out patient setting.     

Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of Foot and Ankle Ability Measure for Patients With Chronic Ankle Disability

The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure is a valid, reliable, and widely used self-reported questionnaire for the foot. It has been adapted and validated for a Turkish-speaking population. The purpose of this study was to provide evidence for validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Foot and Ankle Measure (FAAM-T) in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI). A total of 316 patients with CAI were enrolled. The internal consistency and test–retest reliability were evaluated. Validity was examined using correlations with the Short Form Health Survey version 2.0 (SF-36v2) questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha scores were 0.94 and 0.96 for the the FAAM-T ADL (Activities of Daily Living) and FAAM-T Sports subscales, respectively, indicating high internal consistency. For the second administration, Cronbach's alpha was found to be 0.96 for both subscales of the FAAM-T. The test–retest reliability of the FAAM-T was very high for both subscales with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.97 and 0.94, respectively (p < .001). The standard error of the mean and minimal detectable change were determined to be 2.5 and 6.7 for the FAAM-T ADL and 6.9 and 18.5 for the FAAM-T Sport. The FAAM-T ADL and Sport subscales were strongly correlated with the SF-36v2 PF (physical functioning; r?=?0.51, r?=?0.40, respectively; p?=?.001) and SF-36v2 PCS (physical component scale; r?=?0.64, r?=?0.55, respectively; p?=?.001). The weakest associations between the FAAM-T ADL and Sport and the SF-36v2 were noted for the mental health subscale (r?=?0.08 and r?=?0.03) and the SF-36v2 MCS (mental component scale; r?=?.05 and r?=?.006, respectively). This study provides evidence for validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability for the FAAM-T to evaluate patients with CAI.     

Psychometric properties and validation of the German-language King's Health Questionnaire in women with stress urinary incontinence

AIMS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of and validate the German-language version of the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: A total of 145 women treated for stress incontinence with surgery or physiotherapy completed the the KHQ and the SF-36 before and after treatment. Psychometric analyses of the quality of life (QoL) instruments determined the reliability (Cronbach's alpha), internal and external validity, and responsiveness of the KHQ subscales. RESULTS: The KHQ showed good internal consistency, content validity, and criterion validity as measured by correlation with scores on the SF-36. Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from 0.76 to 0.86, indicating a high internal consistency of the subscales. Concerning criterion validity, correlations between the KHQ subscales and the SF-36 were low to moderate. The highest correlation was found between the general health perception subscales of both questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate good psychometric properties for the German-language KHQ.     

Cross-cultural adaptation and clinical evaluation of a Korean version of the disabilities of arm, shoulder, and hand outcome questionnaire (K-DASH)

We developed a Korean version of the disabilities of arm, shoulder, and hand outcome questionnaire (K-DASH) by performing cross-cultural adaptation and evaluated the reliability and validity of the K-DASH. The K-DASH, SF-36, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain were administered to 161 patients with arm, shoulder, and hand problems. The internal consistency of the disability/symptom scores of the K-DASH was high (Cronbach's alpha 0.94). The retest assessed 131 of the 161 patients. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.91. The construct validity was evaluated using the correlations between the K-DASH and the SF-36 and VAS. The physical and mental component summary scales of the SF-36 and the VAS at rest and during activity were significantly correlated with the DASH disability/symptom scores. Despite the linguistic and cultural differences, the reliability and validity of the K-DASH were just as excellent as those of the original DASH.     

The Chinese language version of the abbreviated Burn Specific Health Scale: A validation study

Background

The Burn Specific Health Scale (BSHS) is designed to measure burn-specific, health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the abbreviated BSHS (BSHS-A).

Methods

The English version of the BSHS-A was translated into Chinese using a standardised procedure. The participants were 457 patients classified into three severity groups (mild, moderate and severe). All patients completed the Chinese BSHS-A questionnaire, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) and the EuroQol 5-Dimensions (EQ-5D). To evaluate clinical utility of the BSHS-A, we used Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency), intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs; test–retest reliability) and construct validity (using the SF-36 and EQ-5D).

Results

Cronbach's alpha for all subscales was >0.80, demonstrating high internal consistency of the BSHS-A (Chinese version). The ICC was >0.70 for each patient group. Strong correlations were observed between the BSHS-A and SF-36 and EQ-5D scales. Neither floor nor ceiling effects were found.

Conclusion

The present study demonstrated that the BSHS-A (Chinese version) has good psychometric properties, showing suitable internal consistency and test–retest reliability. The BSHS-A may, thus, be useful for assessing HRQoL in Chinese burn victims. However, adaptations may be required to reduce its length.     

Validation of the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand Version of the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH-JSSH) questionnaire

Background The Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire is a region-specific, self-administered questionnaire, which consists of a disability/symptom (QuickDASH-DS) scale, and the same two optional modules, the work (DASH-W) and the sport/music (DASH-SM) modules, as the DASH. After the Japanese version of DASH (DASH-JSSH) was cross-culturally adapted and developed, we made the Japanese version of QuickDASH (QuickDASH-JSSH) by extracting 11 out of 30 items of the DASH-JSSH regarding disability/symptoms. The purpose of this study was to test the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of QuickDASH-JSSH. Methods A series of 72 patients with upper extremity disorders completed the QuickDASH-JSSH, the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. Thirty-eight of the patients were reassessed for test–retest reliability 1 or 2 weeks later. Reliability was investigated by the reproducibility and internal consistency. To analyze the validity, a principal component analysis and the correlation coefficients between the QuickDASH-JSSH and the SF-36 were obtained. The responsiveness was examined by calculating the standardized response mean (SRM; mean change/SD) and effect size (mean change/SD of baseline value) after carpal tunnel release of the 17 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Results Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the QuickDASH-DS was 0.88. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the same was 0.82. The unidimensionality of the QuickDASH-DS was confirmed. The correlation coefficients between the QuickDASH-DS and the DASH-DS, DASH-W, or the DASH-SM were 0.92, 0.81, or 0.76, respectively. The correlation coefficients between the QuickDASH-DS score and the subscales of the SF-36 ranged from −0.29 to −0.73. The correlation coefficient between the QuickDASH-DS score and the VAS for pain was 0.52. The SRM/effect size of QuickDASH-DS was −0.54/−0.37, which indicated moderate sensitivity. Conclusion The Japanese version of QuickDASH has equivalent evaluation capacities to the original QuickDASH.
