Reliability and validity of the Chinese version of postextubation dysphagia screening tool for patients with mechanical ventilation

Objective:To translate the English version of postextubation dysphagia screening tool（PEDS） into Chinese version and to test its reliability and validity in patients with mechanical ventilation. Methods: According to the Brislin translation model, the English version of postextubation dysphagia screening tool was translated into Chinese version, and then was back-translated and modified for cultural adaptation following the guidelines. Reliability test included Cronbach’s α coefficient and intra-class correlation coefficients. Validity test included Content Validity Index and exploratory factor analysis. The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of PEDS was tested in 100 patients with mechanical ventilation. As a golden standard for evaluation of dysphagia, flexible endoscopic examination of swallowing test was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of PEDS. Results: The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the Chinese version of the scale was 0.904 and the intra-class correlation coefficients was 0.93. The Scale-Content Validity Index（S-CVI） was 0.96 and the Item-Content Validity Index（I-CVI） ranged from 0.84 to 1.00. The prevalence of postextubation dysphagia was 56% in 100 eligible patients.The sensitivity of the postextubation dysphagia screening tool was 82.1%and specificity was 70.5%. Conclusion: The Chinese version of PEDS has good reliability and validity, which can effectively evaluate the postextubation dysphagia risk in patients with mechanical ventilation.
