Validation of a family‐centred outcome questionnaire for pinnaplasty: a cross‐sectional pilot study

Abstract

We have developed a family-focused outcome tool for pinnaplasty that displays good face validity, internal consistency and correlation with health-related quality of life and that is simple and easy to use. No correlation was seen with more traditional measures of outcome such as complications or ear measurements. Further refinement and testing of validity and reliability on a larger sample is planned.

Measuring otoplasty outcome: Expanding the validity to caregivers' perspective and to Portuguese‐speaking children

“…We found no statistical difference between the GBI and the GCBI scores according to age at the time of response, to side of the procedure, to previous otoplasties or complications. This is in accordance with previous studies that measured patient satisfaction using these questionnaires and/or other tools …”

A systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures in paediatric otolaryngology

“…[33][34][35][36][37][38] A number of other questionnaires were infrequently described, related to other specific otolaryngology conditions (Table I). 39,40 Each tool was of a varying length and underwent variable degrees of validation (Table I). We also identified multiple institutional designed questionnaires, which underwent little or no validation.…”

“…In cases of otitis media, the Otitis Media-6 ('OM-6') questionnaire was by far the most extensively validated 40 7 Caregiver or child Easy tool. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The Otitis Media Outcome-22 ('OMO-22') questionnaire was another prominent tool.…”

“…38 A number of other questionnaires were infrequently described, including the Pediatric Tracheotomy Health Status Instrument ('PTHSI') 39 and the PostOperative Pinnaplasty Questionnaire ('POPQ'). 40 A number of general patient-reported outcome measures are described in the paediatric otolaryngology literature. The Glasgow Children's Benefit Inventory ('GCBI') was developed by Kubba et al 44 to assess health-related QoL pre-and post-intervention, and has been extensively validated and used in a number of otolaryngology interventions.…”

How reliable are ear measurements as a measure of outcome after pinnaplasty? A prospective study of inter‐rater reliability in 20 pinnaplasty patients

“…This study was performed as part of a larger study in our unit comparing pinnaplasty outcomes to develop a family‐centred outcome questionnaire for use after surgery . Full ethics approval was obtained from the West of Scotland Research Ethics Committee (Ref: 11/S0709/3) in April 2011.…”
