Validation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Tonsil and Adenoid Health Status study tool, in Arabic while studying its psychometric properties.
prospective -validation study.
Multiple tertiary centers.
PATIENTS/AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS: 63 consecutive patients who underwent tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy operation (pre-operative and 6 months post-operative) and 65 asymptomatic controls.
INTERVENTION/METHODS: FOLLOWING: Guidelines for the cross-cultural adaptation process, to translate the original English language version into an Arabic language one.
We assessed the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the TAHSI (A-TAHSI) its feasibility, reproducibility, internal consistency, reliability, discriminatory validity and responsiveness to change.
The Mann-Whitney test showed a statistically significant difference for the mean score between the patients and the control group denoting good clinical validity. The Cronbach's coefficient value for the A- TAHSI for 63 cases was 0.983, demonstrating good internal consistency. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a marked improvement in the patients' scores 6 months post-operatively. Spearman's rank and Pearson's correlations were used to correlate the level of resemblance of the mean score of the A-TAHSI, which showed statistically significant results.
The A-TAHSI is a valid instrument for evaluating the subjective effect of tonsillectomy on the health and quality of life and hence is recommended to be used in tonsillectomy research and daily practice.

验证并跨文化调适扁桃体和腺样体健康状况研究工具（Tonsil and Adenoid Health Status study tool，TAHSI）的阿拉伯文版本，同时研究其心理测量特性。
前瞻性验证研究。
多个三级中心。
患者/其他参与者：63 例连续接受扁桃体切除术或腺样体扁桃体切除术（术前和术后 6 个月）的患者和 65 例无症状对照者。
干预措施/方法：遵循跨文化适应过程的指南，将原始的英文版本翻译成阿拉伯文版本。
我们评估了 TAHSI 阿拉伯文版本（A-TAHSI）的心理测量特性，包括其可行性、可重复性、内部一致性、可靠性、判别有效性和对变化的反应性。
曼-惠特尼检验显示，患者组和对照组之间的平均得分存在统计学显著差异，表明具有良好的临床有效性。63 例患者的 A-TAHSI 的 Cronbach's 系数值为 0.983，表明具有良好的内部一致性。Wilcoxon 符号秩检验显示，患者术后 6 个月的评分明显改善。Spearman 等级相关和 Pearson 相关用于相关 A-TAHSI 的平均得分的相似性水平，结果具有统计学意义。
A-TAHSI 是评估扁桃体切除术对健康和生活质量的主观影响的有效工具，因此建议在扁桃体切除术研究和日常实践中使用。
