Video recordings of neurological examinations are often used in clinical trials. The Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a widely used clinical scale for ataxic patients. Despite several advantages of video ratings, correlation between live ratings and remote video-ratings has not been systematically investigated.
To compare live and remote video assessment of SARA.
Full SARA examinations of 69 patients with cerebellar ataxia were recorded on video. Live rating from site investigators were compared with remote video rating of three experienced ataxia clinicians using Bland-Altman analysis.
Live and remote video ratings showed a high level of agreement for the complete score (bias = 0.09, with standard deviation = 2.00) and all single SARA items (bias <0.20 for all items).
Remote video ratings of SARA are a reliable means to assess severity of ataxia.
神经学检查的视频记录常用于临床试验。共济失调评估与评分量表(SARA)是广泛应用于共济失调患者的临床量表。尽管视频评分有诸多优点,但现场评分与远程视频评分之间的相关性尚未得到系统研究。
比较SARA的现场评估与远程视频评估。
对69例小脑性共济失调患者的完整SARA检查进行视频记录。使用Bland-Altman分析,将现场研究者的评分与三位经验丰富的共济失调临床医生的远程视频评分进行比较。
现场评分与远程视频评分在总分(偏差=0.09,标准差=2.00)及所有单个SARA项目上均显示出高度一致性(所有项目偏差<0.20)。
SARA的远程视频评分是评估共济失调严重程度的可靠方法。
