To assess the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the reflux symptom score (K-RSS).
The English version of the RSS was translated into Korean and completed by 77 people (44 and 33 people in the patient group and control group, respectively). They completed the K-RSS (K-RSS-1) and reflux symptom index (RSI) questionnaires and answered questions about age, sex, underlying disease, smoking history, and alcohol and coffee consumption. They completed the K-RSS once more (K-RSS-2) after 1 - 2 weeks. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's α and test-retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). External validity was evaluated using the Spearman rank test between the RSI and K-RSS. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess internal validity by comparing the K-RSS-1 scores between the patient and control groups.
The most common symptoms were globus sensation, throat clearing, and throat pain. The K-RSS reported high internal consistency (α = 0.894). The ICC for the total score was 0.883, indicating excellent test-retest reliability. According to the Spearman analysis, there was a significant correlation between the total score of the K-RSS and that of the RSI (rs = 0.902; P < 0.001), demonstrating strong external validity. Furthermore, the patient group showed significantly higher values than the control group in all K-RSS scores, suggesting high internal validity.
The K-RSS is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire with excellent criterion-referenced validity and ideal reliability.
评估反流症状评分(K-RSS)的韩文版本的有效性和可靠性。
将 RSS 的英文版本翻译成韩文,并由 77 人(分别为 44 名和 33 名患者组和对照组)完成。他们完成了 K-RSS(K-RSS-1)和反流症状指数(RSI)问卷,并回答了有关年龄、性别、基础疾病、吸烟史以及咖啡和酒精消费的问题。他们在 1-2 周后再次完成 K-RSS(K-RSS-2)。使用 Cronbach 的 α 评估内部一致性,使用组内相关系数(ICC)评估测试-重测可靠性。使用 Spearman 秩检验评估 RSI 与 K-RSS 之间的外部有效性。使用 Mann-Whitney U 检验通过比较患者组和对照组的 K-RSS-1 评分来评估内部有效性。
最常见的症状是咽部异物感、清嗓和咽痛。K-RSS 报告了较高的内部一致性(α=0.894)。总分的 ICC 为 0.883,表明测试-重测可靠性非常好。根据 Spearman 分析,K-RSS 总分与 RSI 之间存在显著相关性(rs=0.902;P<0.001),表明具有很强的外部有效性。此外,患者组在所有 K-RSS 评分中均显著高于对照组,表明具有很高的内部有效性。
K-RSS 是一种患者报告的结局问卷,具有出色的准则参照有效性和理想的可靠性。
