“…This evidence also supports the decision to use the DASI score as a proxy of disease severity. It should be noted that evidence on the clinical and prognostic value of the DASI has been provided in a recent Greek study [49].…”

The impact of disease severity on EQ-5D and SF-6D utility discrepancies in chronic heart failure

In subgroups of patients differing in CHF severity according to the DASI, mean EQ-5D and SF-6D indices differed significantly. Contrarily, in socio-demographic and clinical groups, these utility differences were not directly evident. According to the evidence, comparisons based on severity classification via a valid disease-specific external instrument may provide insight on instrument choice in cost-utility analyses.

“…Therefore, we can state that the Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the DASI is reproducible when administered to stable patients by the same interviewer or by different interviewers. Other studies (20,21) have found ICCs of 0.78 and 0.90. These values show that cross-cultural adaptation of the DASI is easy, the questionnaire having been used in other countries with a reproducibility that is similar to or even lower than that found in our study but with values above the levels of reproducibility.…”

“…However, the present study provides health professionals in Brazil with a useful and easy-to-administer instrument for the functional assessment of patients with This demonstrates that questionnaires originally developed in a given country should be crossculturally adapted for use in other countries, and that it is imperative that the author of the original questionnaire be involved in the process of cross-cultural adaptation. The DASI has been adapted for use in various countries in which English is not the official language, including China, (19,20) Greece, (21) and Turkey. (22) The reproducibility of the DASI was demonstrated by the absence of significant differences between the evaluations at V1 and V2 and by the high ICC values, all of which were above 0.75, a value that has been defined as being indicative of reproducibility.…”

Objective: To cross-culturally adapt the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) for use in Brazil and evaluate the reproducibility of the new (Brazilian Portuguese-language) version. Methods: We selected stable patients with clinical and spirometric diagnosis of COPD. Initially, the DASI was translated into Brazilian Portuguese, and the cross-cultural adaptation was performed by an expert committee. Subsequently, 12 patients completed the questionnaire, so that their questions and difficulties could be identified and adjustments could be made. An independent translator back-translated the final version into English, which was then submitted to and approved by the original author. The final Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the DASI was applied to 50 patients at three distinct times. For the assessment of interobserver reproducibility, it was applied twice within a 30-min interval by two different interviewers. For the assessment of intraobserver reproducibility, it was applied again 15 days later by one of the interviewers. Results: The mean age of the patients was 62.3 ± 10.0 years, the mean FEV 1 was 45.2 ± 14.7% of the predicted value, and the mean body mass index was 26.8 ± 5.8 kg/m 2 . The intraclass correlation coefficients for intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility were 0.95 and 0.90, respectively. The correlations between the DASI and the Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) domains were all negative and statistically significant. The DASI correlated best with the SGRQ activity domain (r = −0.70), the total SGRQ score (r = −0.66), and the six-minute walk distance (r = 0.55). Conclusions: The Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the DASI is reproducible, fast, and simple, correlating well with the SGRQ.Keywords: Activities of daily living; Pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive; Reproducibility of results. ResumoObjetivo: Adaptar culturalmente e avaliar a reprodutibilidade do Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) para o português do Brasil. Métodos: Foram selecionados pacientes estáveis com diagnóstico clínico e espirométrico de DPOC. Inicialmente, o DASI foi traduzido para o português, e a adaptação cultural foi realizada por uma comissão de especialistas. Em seguida, o questionário foi aplicado em 12 pacientes para saber suas dúvidas e dificuldades, sendo realizadas as devidas adaptações. Um tradutor independente fez a tradução retrógrada, que foi submetida e aprovada pelo autor original. A versão final do DASI foi aplicada em 50 pacientes em dois momentos, com intervalo de 30 minutos (reprodutibilidade interobservador) e, num terceiro momento, após 15 dias (reprodutibilidade intraobservador). Resultados: A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 62,3 ± 10,0 anos, a média do VEF 1 foi de 45,2 ± 14,7% do valor previsto, e a do índice de massa corpórea foi de 26,8 ± 5,8 kg/m 2 . Os coeficientes de correlação intraclasse intraobservador e interobservador foram de 0,95 e 0,90, respectivamente. As correlações do DASI com todos os domínios do Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire ...
