Abstract

STUDY DESIGN

Prospective clinical study.

PURPOSE

To translate and validate the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (ECOS-16) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures in Iran.

OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE

It is important to assess the psychometric properties of instruments measuring patient-reported outcomes.

METHODS

The translation was performed using the backward-forward translation method. The final version was generated by consensus among the translators. Every woman who had a T-score of <-2.5 completed ECOS-16. Patients were divided into two study groups according to the World Health Organization's criteria: those with at least one vertebral fracture (surgery group) and those with no fractures (control group). They were asked to respond to the questionnaire at three points in time: preoperative and twice within 1-week interval after surgery assessments (6-month follow-up). The 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) also was completed. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire were assessed using internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and responsiveness.

RESULTS

Of 137 recruited women, 39 underwent surgery and 98 did not. Analysis of the ECOS-16 scales showed an appropriate reliability with Cronbach's alpha of >0.70 for all scales. Test-retest reliability as indicated by intraclass correlation coefficient was found to be 0.85 (0.68-0.91). Additionally, the correlation of each item with its hypothesized domain of the ECOS-16 showed acceptable results, suggesting that the items had a substantial relationship with their own domains. Further analysis also indicated that the questionnaire was responsive to change (effect size, 0.85; standardized response mean, 0.93) (<0.001). Significant correlations existed between scores of similar subscales of ECOS-16 and SF-36 (<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

ECOS-16 is an acceptable, reliable, valid, and responsive measure to assess the quality of life in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.

摘要

研究设计

前瞻性临床研究。

目的

对欧洲骨质疏松症基金会生活质量问卷（ECOS - 16）进行翻译并在伊朗骨质疏松性椎体骨折患者中进行验证。

文献综述

评估测量患者报告结局的工具的心理测量特性很重要。

方法

采用前后翻译法进行翻译。最终版本由翻译人员协商一致产生。每个T值＜ - 2.5的女性完成ECOS - 16问卷。根据世界卫生组织标准将患者分为两个研究组：至少有一处椎体骨折的患者（手术组）和无骨折的患者（对照组）。要求他们在三个时间点回答问卷：术前以及术后评估（6个月随访）的1周间隔内两次。同时完成36项简短健康调查问卷（SF - 36）。使用内部一致性、重测信度、收敛效度、区分效度和反应度来评估问卷的心理测量特性。

结果

在招募的137名女性中，39名接受了手术，98名未接受手术。对ECOS - 16量表的分析表明，所有量表的Cronbach's alpha系数＞0.70，具有适当的信度。组内相关系数显示重测信度为0.85（0.68 - 0.91）。此外，ECOS - 16各项目与其假设领域的相关性显示出可接受的结果，表明这些项目与其自身领域有显著关系。进一步分析还表明问卷对变化有反应（效应量，0.85；标准化反应均值，0.93）（＜0.001）。ECOS - 16和SF - 36相似子量表得分之间存在显著相关性（＜0.001）。
