Adaptation of Turkish version of the questionnaire Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick DASH) in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome

“…Both the standard and the technologically updated Quick DASH questionnaires had excellent internal consistency. 8 Across studies to date, the internal consistency of both the Quick DASH and the original DASH was high: between 0.84 to 0.94 for Quick DASH 3,6,7,11,13 and more than 0.95 for DASH questionnaire. 2,10,[15][16][17][18] We found a high correlation between the PROMIS pain interference score and both the standard and the updated Quick DASH scores.…”

Background: Almost 2 decades have passed since the development of the items contained in the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and during this time, daily tasks have changed to adapt to changes in technology. Methods: A cohort of 108 patients completed demographic information, the Quick DASH (both standard and technologically updated versions), and 2 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-based computerized adaptive testing questionnaires: PROMIS pain interference and upper-extremity function. To create a technologically updated Quick DASH, we substituted 3 items from the standard Quick DASH questionnaire with 3 other items related to the use of technology: (1) Text or dial with your cell phone, (2) Type on a keyboard, and (3) Use a computer mouse. Results: The technologically updated Quick DASH questionnaire had lower scores compared with the standard Quick DASH (37 vs. 33, respectively), but they had a large correlation and both had high internal consistency. The items "Text or dial with your cell phone" and "Use a computer mouse" in the updated Quick DASH questionnaire had the lowest scores. Except for affected side, the standard Quick DASH and updated Quick DASH were influenced by the same factors. PROMIS pain interference was the only independent variable affecting both questionnaire scores. Conclusions: A technologically updated Quick DASH had no advantage over the standard Quick DASH.

“…It has been translated into Turkish and validated in CTS patients. [13] The BDI is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory and is composed of items relating to symptoms of depression such as hopelessness and irritability, cognitions such as guilt or feelings of being punished, as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss and lack of interest in sex. This scale has also been validated in Turkish.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate if function and mood involvement correlate in female patients who have a pre-diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and its correlation with physical examination and electrodiagnostic findings. Patients and methods:A total of 170 patients between the ages of 18-65 who applied to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinics with CTS symptoms between May 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled. The mean age of patients was 44.6±11 years. Before electrophysiological testing (electromyography; EMG), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (QuickDASH), Beck Depression Inventory, Tinnel, Phalen and Durkan tests, grip and pinch strength measurement by JAMAR hand dynamometer were performed. The patients also used a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to determine the severity of their symptoms during the day and at night. Results:In 98 patients (57.6%) the diagnosis of CTS was confirmed by EMG, while 72 patients (42.4%) had normal electrodiagnostic findings. In patients who had normal EMG, Beck Depression Inventory and QuickDASH scores were not significantly different from the patients who had an electrodiagnosis of CTS. Pain experienced in the night was significantly higher in patients who had an electrodiagnosis of CTS, and these patients had significantly higher Beck Depression Inventory and QuickDASH scores. Conclusion:The lack of electrodiagnostic evidence in patients who have CTS symptoms does not show that function and mood are not affected in these patients. However, mood is significantly affected in patients with severe CTS.
