This study aimed to compare results obtained with the DN4 (in-person interview) and DN4i (telephone interview) questionnaires in identifying neuropathic pain after fracture surgery. This study was methodological, using questionnaires administered in person (DN4) or via telephone (DN4i). The participants were at least 18 years old, underwent fracture surgery at a university hospital between January 2017 and July 2020, signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF), and could go to the Orthopedics and Traumatology Hospital. Pearson's correlation coefficient determined the agreement between the total score obtained during in-person and telephone interviews. The kappa coefficient evaluated the agreement between individual questionnaire items. Of the 53 participants, 50 presented the same result for neuropathic pain screening in DN4 and DN4i, including 41 with a positive score for neuropathic pain and 12 with a negative score. The Pearson's correlation coefficient and kappa coefficient were r = 0.84. DN4 and DN4i presented a strong agreement between individual items of the questionnaires and the total scores obtained.
本研究旨在比较使用DN4问卷（面对面访谈）和DN4i问卷（电话访谈）在识别骨折手术后神经性疼痛方面所获得的结果。 本研究为方法学研究，采用面对面（DN4）或通过电话（DN4i）发放问卷。参与者年龄至少18岁，于2017年1月至2020年7月在一家大学医院接受骨折手术，签署了知情同意书（ICF），且能够前往骨与创伤科医院。Pearson相关系数用于确定面对面访谈和电话访谈中获得的总分之间的一致性。kappa系数用于评估各问卷项目之间的一致性。 53名参与者中，50名在DN4和DN4i的神经性疼痛筛查中结果相同，其中41名神经性疼痛评分为阳性，12名评分为阴性。Pearson相关系数和kappa系数为r = 0.84。 DN4和DN4i在问卷的各个项目以及所获得的总分之间呈现出高度一致性。
