The Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Scale for Parkinson's Disease (GIDS-PD) is a novel, disease-specific self-report questionnaire used to quantitatively assess features of gastrointestinal dysfunction symptoms in patients with Parkinson's Disease. The aim of this paper was to validate the Polish translation of the scale, to summarise its consistency with the English language version, and to assess its clinimetric properties.
Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common and often debilitating manifestation of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Gastrointestinal symptoms are also considered to be prodromal features of this disease. To date, there has been no scale in Polish that has precisely assessed gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with PD.
The GIDS-PD was translated into Polish by two investigators (M.K. and J.N.). A back-translation was completed by two separate investigators (M.F. and A.A.) who were not involved in the original translation. Afterwards, 10 Polish PD patients underwent cognitive pre-testing. After the final translation was officially approved by the Movement Disorder Society, it was tested on 64 individuals with PD during field testing. For the purpose of testing scale reliability, 20 of the patients recruited for field testing underwent the GIDS-PD for a second time after 8-12 weeks.
The GIDS-PD demonstrated overall good consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.74, ICC of 0.74). Regarding the individual domains, the constipation subscore demonstrated good reliability, the bowel irritability subscore demonstrated moderate reliability, and the upper GI subscore demonstrated poor reliability. Upper GI symptoms seem to be less pronounced, and also more varied, in the Polish PD population than in its English language counterpart.
This paper provides a validated Polish translation of the GIDS-PD questionnaire. We highly recommend using the GIDS-PD for research purposes, as well as everyday clinical practice in the Polish PD population.
帕金森病胃肠功能障碍量表（GIDS-PD）是一种新颖的、针对特定疾病的自我报告问卷，用于定量评估帕金森病患者胃肠功能障碍症状的特征。本文的目的是验证该量表的波兰语翻译版本，总结其与英语版本的一致性，并评估其临床计量特性。
胃肠功能障碍是帕金森病（PD）常见且常使人衰弱的表现。胃肠症状也被认为是这种疾病的前驱特征。迄今为止，波兰语中还没有一种量表能够精确评估 PD 患者的胃肠症状。
两位研究人员（M.K.和 J.N.）将 GIDS-PD 翻译成波兰语。两名独立的研究人员（M.F.和 A.A.）完成了反向翻译，他们没有参与原始翻译。之后，10 名波兰 PD 患者进行了认知预测试。在最终翻译得到运动障碍协会正式批准后，在现场测试中对 64 名 PD 患者进行了测试。为了测试量表的可靠性，招募了 20 名现场测试患者，在 8-12 周后对他们进行了第二次 GIDS-PD 测试。
GIDS-PD 总体上显示出良好的一致性（Cronbach's alpha 为 0.74，ICC 为 0.74）。就个别领域而言，便秘子量表的可靠性较好，肠易激惹子量表的可靠性为中等，上胃肠道子量表的可靠性较差。与英语语言的 PD 患者相比，波兰语 PD 患者的上胃肠道症状似乎不太明显，也更为多样化。
本文提供了 GIDS-PD 问卷的验证性波兰语翻译。我们强烈推荐在波兰语 PD 人群中使用 GIDS-PD 进行研究目的以及日常临床实践。
