BACKGROUND/AIMS: We prepared a cross-cultural adaptation of the Behcet's Syndrome Activity Scale (BSAS) and evaluated its reliability and validity in Korea.
Fifty patients with Behcet's disease (BD) who attended the Rheumatology Clinic of Gachon University Gil Medical Center were included in this study. The first BSAS questionnaire was administered at each clinic visit, and the second questionnaire was completed at home within 24 hours of the visit. A Behcet's Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF) and a Behcet's Disease Quality of Life (BDQOL) form were also given to patients. The test-retest reliability was analyzed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). To assess the validity, the total BSAS score was compared with the BDCAF score, the patient/physician global assessment, and the BDQOL by Spearman rank correlation.
Twelve males and 38 females were enrolled. The mean age was 48.5 years and the mean disease duration was 6.7 years. Thirty-eight patients (76.0%) returned the questionnaire by mail. For the test-retest reliability, the two assessments were significantly correlated on all 10 items of the BSAS questionnaire (p < 0.05) and the total BSAS score (ICC, 0.925; p < 0.001). The total BSAS score was statistically correlated with the BDQOL, BDCAF, and patient/physician global assessment (p < 0.01).
The Korean version of BSAS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure BD activity.
背景/目的:我们对白塞氏综合征活动量表(BSAS)进行了跨文化改编,并在韩国评估了其信度和效度。
本研究纳入了50名在嘉泉大学吉尔医学中心风湿病门诊就诊的白塞氏病(BD)患者。每次门诊时发放第一份BSAS问卷,第二份问卷在就诊后24小时内在家中完成。还向患者发放了白塞氏病当前活动表(BDCAF)和白塞氏病生活质量(BDQOL)表。通过组内相关系数(ICC)分析重测信度。为评估效度,采用Spearman等级相关分析将BSAS总分与BDCAF评分、患者/医生整体评估以及BDQOL进行比较。
共纳入12名男性和38名女性。平均年龄为48.5岁,平均病程为6.7年。38名患者(76.0%)通过邮件返还了问卷。对于重测信度,BSAS问卷的所有10项以及BSAS总分在两次评估中均显著相关(p < 0.05),BSAS总分的ICC为0.925(p < 0.001)。BSAS总分与BDQOL、BDCAF以及患者/医生整体评估在统计学上相关(p < 0.01)。
韩文版BSAS是一种测量BD活动的可靠且有效的工具。
