Validation of the Turkish Version of the Facial Nerve Grading System 2.0.

ABSTRACT: Objective:We aimed to adapt the Facial Nerve Grading System 2.0 (FNGS 2.0) to Turkish and to investigate the validity and the reliability of the Turkish version. Methods:The original FNGS 2.0 was translated into Turkish and validated by international standards. Six Turkish physicians, three specialists and three residents, independently rated the videos, two times each, of 40 adult facial palsy patients. Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability were assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. As another indication of reliability, "generalizability" was also evaluated. For all analyses, a p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:ICC and Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the inter-rater reliability of the total score of the FNGS 2.0 were 0.970 and 0.979 for the first assessment, 0.973 and 0.979 for the second assessment, respectively. The intra-rater reliability ICC results for the total score of the FNGS 2.0 were 0.95, 0.976, 0.982, 0.956, 0.96 and 0.931 for the six raters, respectively. The generalizability coefficient was found as G=0.894. Conclusion:In this study, we adapted the FNGS 2.0 to Turkish, and confirmed its reliability and validity as a facial palsy scale. The Turkish version of the FNGS 2.0 can be safely used to assess.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) into Turkish and determine the validity and reliability of the translated version in physically active patients with hip pain.MethodsSixty young to middle-aged and physically active patients (34 women and 26 men; mean age=35 years; age range: 18-40 years) with hip pain were included in the study. The original version of the NAHS was first translated into Turkish and back-translated into English by two bilingual translators each. The back-translated version was compared with the initial English version by a committee of the four translators. The Turkish version was then tested with 15 patients with hip pain and 15 healthy individuals. The participants were asked whether they had difficulties in understanding the questions. Subsequently, the questionnaire was accepted for use in the study population. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency were assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. The construct validity was determined via the Pearson correlation coefficient between the NAHS and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Short Form-12 (SF-12). Floor and ceiling effects were analyzed. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to test construct validity.ResultsAn ICC of 0.994 and Cronbach's alpha value of 0.908 were obtained; thus, the Turkish version of the NAHS was reliable. Neither floor nor ceiling effects (15%) were found in the sub-parameters (8.3-1.7%) and the total score (1.7%) of the NAHS. The EFA test showed that this questionnaire had four factors. Model fit indices in CFA were χ2/df=2.23, Tucker-Lewis index=0.90, comparative fit index=0.91, goodness of fit index=0.63, root mean square error of approximation=0.14 (90% CI: 0.12-0.16). The NAHS total score showed an excellent correlation with WOMAC (r=-0.909), mHHS (r=0.850), and SF-12 (r=0.811) scores.ConclusionThe Turkish version of the NAHS is a valid and reliable questionnaire for young and physically active patients with hip pain.Level of evidenceLevel II, Diagnostic study.
