The aim of this study was to translate and verify the psychometric properties of the CES (Chronic Ear Survey Score) in the Moroccan Arabic dialect as well as the evaluation of the quality of life of patients suffering from suppurative chronic otitis media. A cross-sectional study was carried out between 1st April 2016 and 10 January 2017 in ENT department of the 20 August hospital Casablanca. The data were collected using an anonymous questionnaire administered by the physician. The CES scale used has been translated according to international recommendations. Internal Reliability was evaluated by the Cronbach alpha coefficient and validity was calculated through the Spearman coefficient of correlations. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20.0. A total of 107 patients were enrolled in the study with an average age of 35 years (standard deviation = 13 years) with a sex ratio of 0.70. About 35.5% of patients perceived their disease as severe. The mean CES was 48 (standard deviation = 15) indicating a significant decrease in the quality of life of patients suffering from CSOM. Good internal reliability was noted (alpha = 0.72). CES scores increased significantly with perceived severity ( < 0.001). The Arabic version of the CES has good psychometric properties attesting to its reliability and validity. Its use would make it possible to better evaluate the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic otitis media and thus be able to compare and choose the optimal therapeutic methods based on the results of this questionnaire especially before and after surgery.
本研究的目的是翻译并验证摩洛哥阿拉伯语方言版的慢性耳部调查评分（CES），以及评估慢性化脓性中耳炎患者的生活质量。2016年4月1日至2017年1月10日期间，在卡萨布兰卡20日医院的耳鼻喉科进行了一项横断面研究。数据通过医生发放的匿名问卷收集。所使用的CES量表已根据国际建议进行翻译。通过Cronbach α系数评估内部信度，并通过Spearman相关系数计算效度。使用SPSS 20.0进行统计分析。共有107名患者参与了该研究，平均年龄为35岁（标准差 = 13岁），性别比为0.70。约35.5%的患者认为自己的病情严重。CES的平均值为48（标准差 = 15），表明慢性化脓性中耳炎患者的生活质量显著下降。观察到良好的内部信度（α = 0.72）。CES评分随感知到的严重程度显著增加（< 0.001）。CES的阿拉伯语版本具有良好的心理测量学特性，证明了其可靠性和有效性。使用该量表将能够更好地评估慢性中耳炎患者的生活质量，从而能够根据该问卷的结果比较并选择最佳治疗方法，尤其是在手术前后。
