“…Interestingly, the lowest correlation level was found with the dizziness item, which is considered a less specific symptom of COM (22). On the other hand, the highest correlation level was obtained by the items related to hearing loss, which is linked to limitations in communication that disturbs the quality of life in patients with COM (11).…”

“…Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is considered an important aspect of clinical assessment and health research. Measurement of HRQoL, particularly after treatment, has become an important feature to guide therapeutic decision making in clinical practice (11). There are some HRQoL scales for COM such as COMOT-15 (12), COM-5 (13), and recently, the COMQ-12 scale (1), which has been validated and translated to many different languages: Indian Kannada (11), Dutch (14), Serbian (9), Portuguese (15), Russian (16), Korean (17), Turkish (18), and Italian (19).…”

Background Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is considered an important aspect of clinical assessment and health research. Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is related to the quality of life deterioration subsequent to COM symptoms, social communication impairments and lower work performance. However, there is no reliable information regarding the impact of this disease on health and quality of life in many resource-poor countries. Therefore, we translated into Spanish and culturally adapted the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) for the evaluation of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of Chronic Otitis Media (COM) in adult patients. Also, we assessed the psychometric properties of our version of the questionnaire.Methods Two otology referral centers in Bogotá, Colombia were included. The Spanish version of COMQ-12 was applied twice to 200 adult patients with confirmed COM diagnosis and to 31 healthy controls in order to perform the validation process and assess the internal consistency of this questionnaire. Psychometric characteristics (replicability, reliability, and validity) of the COMQ-12 were assessed. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted via structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to test the questionnaire’s structure.Results The Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.8526, McDonald’s Omega = 0.8901). Coefficients corresponding to Lin’s Concordance test and test-retest reliability were 0.945 and 0.82 respectively. Correlation between the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the COMQ-12 was = 0.676 (IC 95% = 0.593; 0.745). Factor analysis of the Spanish version of the COMQ-12 indicated a questionnaire structure with three domains: smelly discharge related symptoms; hearing loss related symptoms; and impact on work, lifestyle and health services.Conclusion This Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed high reliability and high internal consistency. This questionnaire can be used as an objective clinical tool to assess the HRQoL of patients who have a COM diagnosis.

“…Interestingly, the lowest correlation level was found with the dizziness item despite the prevalence and signi cance of this symptom in patients with COM that has been supported in the literature (1,25). On the other hand, the highest correlation level was obtained by the items related to hearing loss, which is linked to limitations in communication that disturbs the quality of life in patients with COM (11).…”

Background: Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is considered an important aspect of clinical assessment and health research. Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is related to the quality of life deterioration subsequent to COM symptoms, social communication impairments, and lower work performance. However, there is no reliable information regarding the impact of this disease on health and quality of life in many resource-poor countries. Therefore, we translated into Spanish and culturally adapted the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) for the evaluation of HRQoL of Chronic Otitis Media (COM) in adult patients. Also, we assessed the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the questionnaire. Methods: Two otology referral centers in Bogotá, Colombia were included. The Spanish version of COMQ-12 was applied twice to 200 adult patients with confirmed COM diagnosis and 31 healthy controls to perform the validation process and assess the internal consistency of this questionnaire. Psychometric characteristics (internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity) of the COMQ-12 were assessed. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted via structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the questionnaire’s structure. Results: The Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.852, McDonald’s Omega: 0.890). Coefficients corresponding to Lin’s Concordance test and test-retest reliability were 0.945 and 0.825 respectively. Correlation between the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the COMQ-12 was 0.676 (95% CI: 0.593; 0.745) . Factor analysis of the Spanish version of the COMQ-12 indicated a questionnaire structure with three domains: smelly discharge related symptoms; hearing loss related symptoms; and impact on work, lifestyle, and health services . Conclusion: This Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed high reliability and high internal consistency. This questionnaire can be used as an objective clinical tool to assess the HRQoL of patients who have a COM diagnosis. Trial registration Not applicable.
