Multicentre study for validation of the French addictovigilance network reports assessment tool.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:The French health authority (ANSM) is responsible for monitoring medicinal and other drug dependencies. To support these activities, the ANSM manages a network of 13 drug dependence evaluation and information centres (Centres d'Evaluation et d'Information sur la Pharmacodépendance - Addictovigilance - CEIP-A) throughout France. In 2006, the Nantes CEIP-A created a new tool called the EGAP (Echelle de GrAvité de la Pharmacodépendance- drug dependence severity scale) based on DSM IV criteria. This tool allows the creation of a substance use profile that enables the drug dependence severity to be homogeneously quantified by assigning a score to each substance indicated in the reports from health professionals. This article describes the validation and psychometric properties of the drug dependence severity score obtained from the scale ( Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01052675). METHOD:The validity of the EGAP construct, the concurrent validity and the discriminative ability of the EGAP score, the consistency of answers to EGAP items, the internal consistency and inter rater reliability of the EGAP score were assessed using statistical methods that are generally used for psychometric tests. RESULTS:The total EGAP score was a reliable and precise measure for evaluating drug dependence (Cronbach alpha = 0.84; ASI correlation = 0.70; global ICC = 0.92). In addition to its good psychometric properties, the EGAP is a simple and efficient tool that can be easily specified on the official ANSM notification form. CONCLUSION:The good psychometric properties of the total EGAP score justify its use for evaluating the severity of drug dependence.

Project description:BackgroundThe objective of this study was to develop and validate a short, self-administered questionnaire to assess diet quality in clinical settings, using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) as reference.MethodsA total of 1040 men and women (aged 44.6?±?14.4 y) completed a validated web-based food frequency questionnaire (webFFQ) and had their height and weight measured (development sample). Participants were categorized arbitrarily according to diet quality (high: AHEI score???65/110, low: AHEI score?<?65/110) based on dietary intake data from the webFFQ. The Brief Diet Quality Assessment Tool was developed using a classification and regression tree (CART) approach and individual answers to the webFFQ among participants considered to have a plausible energy intake (ratio of reported energy intake to basal metabolic rate???1.2 and?<?2.4; n =?1040). A second sample of 3344 older adults (aged 66.5?±?6.4 y) was used to test the external validity of the Brief Diet Quality Assessment Tool (external validation sample).ResultsThe decision tree included sequences of 3 to 6 binary questions, yielding 21 different pathways classifying diet quality as being high or low. In the development sample, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the predictive model was 0.92, with sensitivity, specificity and agreement values of 89.5, 83.9 and 87.2%. Compared with individuals having a low-quality diet according to the Brief Diet Quality Assessment Tool (mean AHEI 56.7?±?11.4), individuals classified as having a high-quality diet (mean AHEI 71.3?±?11.0) were significantly older, and had lower BMI, percent body fat and waist circumference, and had lower blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol/HDL ratio and fasting insulin as well as higher HDL-cholesterol concentrations (all P <?0.05). Similar results were observed in the external validation sample, although overall performance of the Brief Diet Quality Assessment Tool was slightly lower than in the development sample, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.79 and sensitivity, specificity and agreement values of 73.0, 69.0 and 71.3%, respectively.ConclusionThe CART approach yielded a simple and rapid Brief Diet Quality Assessment Tool that identifies individuals at risk of having a low-quality diet. Further studies are needed to test the performance of this tool in primary care settings.

Project description:BackgroundHand rehabilitation needs valid evaluation tools; the 400-point Hand Assessment (HA) is an exhaustive but not standardised tool. The aim of this study was to validate a standardised version of this test.MethodsA modified version and a standardised prototype was made for this prospective validation study (four centres, three countries). Psychometric properties studied: reliability (intra-rater and inter-rater, standard error of measurement [SEM], minimum detectable change [MDC],internal consistency); content validity, construct validity with Jebsen Taylor hand function test, QuickDASH, MOS-SF 36 and pain; responsiveness, using an anchor-based approach (ROC curve with area under curve, mean response change) with calculation of MCID. For SEM, MDC and responsiveness, QuickDASH was used for comparison.ResultsOne hundred and seventy-six patients with hand/wrist injuries were included between May 2013 and February 2015. One hundred and seventy were available for final analysis: 67% men; mean age 43.4 ± 13.2 years; both manual and office workers (46, 5% of each); 37% had a hand or wrist fracture. Reliability: ICC intra-rater = 0.967 [0.938-0.982]; inter-rater = 0.868 [0.754-0.932]. Distribution-based approach: for 400-point HA/QuickDASH: SEM = 3.48/4.52, MDC = 9.065/12.53, internal consistency of 400-point HA: Cronbach α = 0.886.ValidityContent validity was good according to COSMIN guidelines. Construct validity: correlation coefficient: Jebsen-Taylor hand function test = - 0.573 [- 0.666-0.464], QuickDASH = - 0.432 at T0 [- 0.545-0.303], - 0.551 at T3 [- 0.648-0.436]; MOS-SF 36 physical component = 0.395 [0.263-0.513]; no correlation with MOS-SF 36 mental component = 0.142 [- 0.009 + 0.286] and pain = - 0.166 [- 0.306 + 0.018]. Responsiveness: Anchor-based approach: AUC Δ400-point HA = 0.666 [0.583-0.749], AUC ΔQuickDASH = 0.556 [0.466-0.646]. MCID (optimal ROC curve cut-off): 6.07 for 400-point HA, - 2.27 for QuickDASH. MCID with mean response change + 12.034 ± 9.067 for 400-point HA and - 8.03 ± -9.7 for QuickDASH. The patient's global impression of change was only correlated with the Δ400-point HA.ConclusionsThe 400-point HA standardised version has good psychometric properties. For responsiveness, we propose an MCID of at least 12.3/100. However, these results must be confirmed in other populations and pathologies.Trial registrationThis study was retrospectively registered into ISCTRN registry (Number ISRCTN25874481) the 07/02/2019.
