In the Philippines, the exact prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has not yet been determined. Although cases can be extrapolated from medical registries, this method may undermine actual case rates. A reliable screening tool for PD is essential for a timely diagnosis and community-based epidemiological studies. The most widely used screening questionnaire for PD diagnosis was developed by Tanner et al. which consists of nine questions about the motor symptoms of PD. Although this questionnaire has been translated to several languages, the translated version must be validated for use in our local setting.
To determine the validity of the Cebuano version of a PD screening questionnaire.
The questionnaire was translated from English to Cebuano by a hired language specialist. Each item was supplied with a , , or answer. A total of 73 patients with PD and 244 control subjects completed the study.
The overall Cronbach alpha for internal consistency of the questionnaire was 0.9410. The item on had the highest sensitivity (97.26%), while the item on had the highest specificity (100.00%). A cut-off score 3 obtained the best Youden index (99.18%), with a sensitivity of 100.00% and a specificity of 99.18%. The questionnaire had an almost perfect predictive ability to diagnose PD (AUC of 0.9994).
The translated version of the Tanner questionnaire is a validated instrument to identify PD in a literate Cebuano population.
在菲律宾,帕金森病(PD)的确切患病率尚未确定。尽管可以从医学登记处推断出病例,但这种方法可能会降低实际病例的比例。对于及时诊断和基于社区的流行病学研究,PD 的可靠筛查工具至关重要。用于 PD 诊断的最广泛使用的筛查问卷是由 Tanner 等人开发的,该问卷由九个关于 PD 运动症状的问题组成。尽管该问卷已被翻译成多种语言,但翻译版本必须在我们的本地环境中进行验证。
确定 PD 筛查问卷的宿务语版本的有效性。
该问卷由一名雇佣的语言专家从英语翻译成宿务语。每个项目都提供了 、 或 答案。共有 73 名 PD 患者和 244 名对照完成了研究。
问卷的整体内部一致性 Cronbach alpha 为 0.9410。项目 的敏感性最高(97.26%),而项目 的特异性最高(100.00%)。最佳截断值 3 获得了最佳 Youden 指数(99.18%),敏感性为 100.00%,特异性为 99.18%。该问卷对 PD 的诊断具有几乎完美的预测能力(AUC 为 0.9994)。
翻译版的 Tanner 问卷是一种在有文化的宿务人中识别 PD 的有效工具。
