Short Form Health Survey version-2.0 Turkish (SF-36v2) is an efficient outcome parameter in musculoskeletal research.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although the Short Form Health Survey version-2.0 (SF-36v2) is widely used since 2000, the researchers and clinicians in Turkey have been still using the original version. However, the original version includes many deficiencies and the SF-36v2 was introduced aiming to correct these deficiencies. The purpose of this study is to indicate differences between SF-36 and SF-36v2 and the present cross cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the SF-36v2.

Patients and methods

The SF-36v2 was cross culturally adapted to Turkish and the measurement properties of the Turkish version of the SF-36v2 were tested in 50 patients (19 males; mean ± SD age: 36.9 ± 14.6 years; range: 16-65 years, BMI; 24.1 ± 4.6) with a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to estimate the test-retest reliability. Construct validity was analyzed with SF-36v2 and EuroQol Group (EQ-5D). The distribution of ceiling and floor effects was determined.

Results

During the cross-cultural adaptation process many changes were made. The Turkish SF-36v2 subscales showed excellent test-retest reliability which was ranged 0.80 to 0.95. The highest correlation was found between SF-36v2-PCS and SF-36v2-PF (r = 0.75), the lowest correlation was found between SF-36v2-PCS and SF-36v2-MH (r = 0.05). The correlations between EQ-5D and SF-36v2 subscales ranged from 0.10 (SF-36v2 -VT) to 0.46 (SF-36v2 -RE). We observed no ceiling and floor effects.

Conclusion

The cultural adaptation of the SF-36v2 was successful. The SF-36v2 has sufficient reliability and validity to measure a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies for Turkish-speaking individuals.

Project description:BackgroundDisability is an increasingly important health-related outcome to consider as more individuals are now aging with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and multimorbidity. The HIV Disability Questionnaire (HDQ) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), developed to measure the presence, severity and episodic nature of disability among adults living with HIV. The 69-item HDQ includes six domains: physical, cognitive, mental-emotional symptoms and impairments, uncertainty and worrying about the future, difficulties with day-to-day activities, and challenges to social inclusion. Our aim was to develop a short-form version of the HIV Disability Questionnaire (SF-HDQ) to facilitate use in clinical and community-based practice among adults living with HIV.MethodsWe used Rasch analysis to inform item reduction using an existing dataset of adults living with HIV in Canada (n = 941) and Ireland (n = 96) who completed the HDQ (n = 1037). We evaluated overall model fit with Cronbach's alpha and Person Separation Indices (PSIs) (≥ 0.70 acceptable). Individual items were evaluated for item threshold ordering, fit residuals, differential item functioning (DIF) and unidimensionality. For item threshold ordering, we examined item characteristic curves and threshold maps merging response options of items with disordered thresholds to obtain order. Items with fit residuals > 2.5 or less than - 2.5 and statistically significant after Bonferroni-adjustment were considered for removal. For DIF, we considered removing items with response patterns that varied according to country, age group (≥ 50 years versus < 50 years), and gender. Subscales were considered unidimensional if ≤ 5% of t-tests comparing possible patterns in residuals were significant.ResultsWe removed 34 items, resulting in a 35-item SF-HDQ with domain structure: physical (10 items); cognitive (3 items); mental-emotional (5 items); uncertainty (5 items); difficulties with day-to-day activities (5 items) and challenges to social inclusion (7 items). Overall models' fit: Cronbach's alphas ranged from 0.78 (cognitive) to 0.85 (physical and mental-emotional) and PSIs from 0.69 (day-to-day activities) to 0.79 (physical and mental-emotional). Three items were rescored to achieve ordered thresholds. All domains demonstrated unidimensionality. Three items with DIF were retained because of their clinical importance.ConclusionThe 35-item SF-HDQ offers a brief, comprehensive disability PROM for use in clinical and community-based practice with adults living with HIV.

Project description:BackgroundHealth Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) instruments need disease and country specific validation. In Arab countries, there is no specific validated questionnaire for assessment of HRQOL in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The aim of this study was to present an Arabic translation, adaptation, and the subsequent validation of the kidney disease quality of life-short form (KDQOL-SFTM) version 1.3 questionnaire in a representative series of Egyptian CKD patients.MethodsKDQOL-SFTM version 1.3 was translated into Arabic by two independent translators, and then subsequently translated back into English. After translation disparities were reconciled, the final Arabic questionnaire was tested by interviewing 100 pre-dialysis CKD (stage 1-4) patients randomly selected from outpatients attending the Nephrology clinic at the Main Alexandria University Hospital. Test re-test reliability was performed, with a subsample of 50 consecutive CKD patients, by two interviews 7 days apart and internal consistency estimated by Cronbach's ?. Discriminant, concept, and construct validity were assessed.ResultsAll items of SF-36 met the criterion for internal consistency and were reproducible. Of the 10 kidney disease targeted scales, only three had Cronbach's ? <0.7: quality of social interaction (0.23), work status (0.28), and cognitive function (0.60). All disease specific scales were reproducible. Results from discriminant validity showed that the study questionnaire could discriminate between patients' subgroups. As for concept validity, the correlation between all domains of the questionnaire with overall health ratewas significant for all domains except for the work status, sexual function, emotional wellbeing, and role emotional. Furthermore, the correlation between the disease specific domains and the two composite summaries of SF-36 (physical and mental composite summaries) was significant for all domains except for sexual function with mental composite summary. Construct validity was indicated by the observation that the majority of the domains of the kidney disease targeted scale of KDQOL-SFTM 1.3 were significantly inter-correlated. Finally, principal component analysis of the kidney disease targeted scale indicated that this part of the questionnaire could be summarized into 10 factors that together explained 70.9% of the variance.ConclusionThe results suggest that this Arabic version of the KDQOL-SFTM 1.3 questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for use in Egyptian patients with CKD.

Project description:BackgroundInterpretation thresholds for patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores are of crucial importance, particularly when interpreting treatment benefit. This study was designed to determine the within-patient meaningful improvement (WPMI) thresholds for the Short-Form 36 Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2), the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue), and the novel Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms and Impact Questionnaire (RASIQ) among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsIn this post-hoc analysis, anchor-based and supportive distribution-based methods were used to derive WPMI based on blinded data from all treatment arms in two Phase 2 RA trials with otilimab. Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PtGA) was the general anchor for all SF-36v2 scales. SF-36 Patient's Global Impression of Status (PGIS), PtGA, and VT03 (an SF-36v2 item) were used as anchors for FACIT-Fatigue. SF-36 PGIS, PtGA, and Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain (PAIN) were anchors for RASIQ. Mean change was calculated for the anchor category associated with minimal meaningful improvement from baseline to Week 24 for SF-36v2 and FACIT-Fatigue, and to Week 12 for RASIQ. Sensitivity and specificity were used to evaluate the accuracy of estimated WPMI values.ResultsFor the SF-36v2 physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health domains, anchor-based estimates of WPMI based on 0-100 scores were 24.5, 24.5, 25.4, 13.6, 21.5, 20.5, 16.9, and 14.3, respectively. Anchor-based WPMI estimates were 9.7 for the Physical Component Summary score and 7.6 for the Mental Component Summary score (using norm-based T-score metric). For FACIT-Fatigue (range 0-52), WPMI estimates ranged from 9.7 to 11.3 points. For RASIQ (range 0-100), anchor-based WPMI was determined as a change between -32.7 and -21.7 points for the Joint Pain scale, -26.7 to -23.7 for the Joint Stiffness scale, and -21.1 to -17.4 for the Impact scale.ConclusionsThis study derived WPMI thresholds for SF-36v2, FACIT-Fatigue, and RASIQ among patients with RA, using multiple anchors. Derivation of WPMI thresholds for these PRO instruments will enable their broader use in evaluating and interpreting treatment benefit in future RA studies.
