“…When comparing the test scores with clinician ratings, significant correlations have been found with psychologic factors ( r = 0.47) and with stress ( r = 0.42) for 274 TMD and non-TMD subjects (2).…”

The purpose of this paper is to review the methods and results of psychometric testings in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) during the past decade. Assessments of psychologic and behavioral factors have been performed for various reasons. The results are often ambiguous and comparisons troublesome. No encompassing psychologic TMD profile has been identified, but small elevations in anxiety, depression, somatization, and stress are often reported; they may be cause or effect. Subcategorization of the patients into diagnostic subgroups suggests that psychologic differences exist but may be small; myogenic patients may have more psychologic difficulties than 'joint' patients. More distinct, robust psychologic subsets of patients, unrelated to the structural diagnosis, have been identified by means of clustering techniques. Irrespective of clinical signs, a certain proportion of the patients are psychologically distressed, whereas others easily adapt to the pain and dysfunction. No single variable has been identified that can predict outcome or compliance. Several psychometric instruments are described.

“…During the last 10-15 years, objective evaluation of treatment outcome has become important in determining the relative values of therapeutic regimens. Several self-assessment scales for the measurement of symptoms have been developed for that purpose, among them the ''TMJ Scale'' of Lundeen et al, (1986), which has become widely used in English-speaking countries, and the JPF-Questionnaire (Clark et al, 1989a,b), originally designed for evaluating treatment outcome after arthroscopic TMJ surgery. While the TMJ Scale contains 97 items clustered into 10 subscales, the JPFQuestionnaire contains three verbal subscores with a total of 31 items and one visual analogue pain scale.…”

“…To guarantee validity, however, the instruments should satisfy basic standards of objectivity, specificity, and evidence. In the field of TMDs as an example, there are many examination procedures with different diagnostic criteria based on individual measurements, for example Krogh-Poulsen criteria [11], Helkimo Indexes [12], TMJ Scale [13][14][15], Craniomandibular Index [16,17], Criteria of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain [18,19], and Research Diagnostic Criteria of Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) [20]. The examination and diagnostic procedure with the best statistical properties is currently the RDC/TMD, which has undergone many epidemiological examinations [21][22][23][24].…”

A new instrument for assessing the quality of studies on prevalence

et al. 2011

There are numerous scientific articles of studies on the prevalence of disorders with non-standardised examination and diagnostic protocols. Because their quality is heterogeneous, a new instrument has been developed for the assessment of such studies. The new instrument is based mainly on statistical criteria. The points assigned for each of the main criteria according to the information gained from each paper are summed up to form a Total Quality Score (TQS). The interrater reliability of the instrument was tested by employing Kappa and Interrater Correlation Coefficient (ICC) statistics. The latter was assessed on the results of three independent investigators. The new quality instrument appeared to be easy to use, and the instructions were comprehensible. The ICC((2,1)) for the TQS ranged between 0.94 and 1.00 indicating almost perfect agreement between the investigators. The reliability of the new instrument enables its use for scientific review purposes. In this way, its validity will also be tested. The instrument could be adopted for assessment of scientific articles of studies on the prevalence of disorders in many, similar, scientific areas.
