Hearing loss can seriously impact children's quality of life. Disease-specific questionnaires are required to optimise medical care. This study aims to translate, adapt and validate the French version of the PEACH score for the auditory performance of children.
This is a controlled, prospective study, conducted between April and October 2020. The translation was conducted using a forward-backward technique, and statistical validation was conducted with a test and re-test, on a patient population and a control population.
Patients were included if they were 1-11 years old, and had at least 30 dB hearing loss in one ear. The mean age was 6 years for the 39 patients and 3.9 years for the 34 controls.
Reproducibility, measured by Spearman's coefficient between global scores of the test and re-test was 0.78 ( < 0.001). The test was internally consistent (Cronbach's alpha was 0.89) and item per item construct validity was satisfactory. The ROC curve showed a moderate area under the curve (0.74 < 0.001) with 67% sensitivity and 73% specificity.
The French PEACH had good statistical properties, although a brief 13-item questionnaire, and can be used for evaluation of the disease-specific quality of life for young children with hearing loss.
听力损失会严重影响儿童的生活质量。需要特定疾病的问卷来优化医疗护理。本研究旨在翻译、改编和验证法国版 PEACH 评分，以评估儿童的听觉表现。
这是一项在 2020 年 4 月至 10 月期间进行的对照前瞻性研究。翻译采用前后翻译技术，使用测试和再测试对患者人群和对照组进行统计学验证。
患者纳入标准为年龄 1-11 岁，一侧耳朵听力损失至少 30dB。39 名患者的平均年龄为 6 岁，34 名对照组的平均年龄为 3.9 岁。
通过测试和再测试的全球评分之间的斯皮尔曼系数来衡量，重现性为 0.78（<0.001）。该测试具有内部一致性（克朗巴赫的 α为 0.89），并且项目间的结构有效性令人满意。ROC 曲线显示曲线下面积为中等（<0.001），灵敏度为 67%，特异性为 73%。
尽管法国版的 PEACH 问卷简短，仅 13 个项目，但具有良好的统计学特性，可用于评估听力损失的儿童的特定疾病生活质量。
