“…We found a very good correlation between the Hungarian ODI and pain (r 0.68) which is similar to that published for the Italian [24], Danish [18], Chinese [19,20] and German [21] versions. Our correlation between pain and the QDS total score was also very high (r 0.62) and similar to that reported previously for the Dutch [35], Korean [34] and Brazilian-Portuguese [33] versions of the QDS. In addition, we found good correlations amongst the four subscales of the Hungarian QDS and pain (r 0.49-0.6).…”

“…Similar conclusions can be found in the literature for the ICC of the Hungarian QDS (0.92). Higher ICC was only published by those who used a shorter test-retest period in their studies [33,37]. The ICC values for the four subscales of the Hungarian QDS were above 0.70 giving a positive rating for the reliability of the four subscales.…”

Nine validation studies on national versions of the QDS (Greek [31], Turkish [32], Polish [23], Persian [25], Portuguese [33], Korean [34], Dutch [35], French [36] and Arabic [37]) have been reported so far. All the papers above, in addition to comparison studies of the original English questionnaires [38,39], reported these PROMs as reliable and valid measurement tools.…”

Reliability and validity study on the Hungarian versions of the Oswestry Disability Index and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale

Purpose Patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) are widely used in spine care. The development of reliable and valid National versions of spine-related disability questionnaires is strongly recommended from both the clinical and scientific points-of-view. The aims of this study were to adapt and validate the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QDS) for use with the Hungarian language. Methods After translating and culturally adapting the ODI and QDS, 133 patients with lumbar degenerative spinal disorder filled in the questionnaire booklet twice within 2 weeks. Subjects completed the Hungarian versions of the two PROMs as well as the WHOQoL-BREF validated as a general life quality questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale of pain. Internal consistency, reliability and construct validity of the questionnaires were determined, as were the standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC) scores. Results The Hungarian ODI consisted of one factor that showed good internal consistency (Cronbach-a 0.890). The QDS showed a four-factor structure with Cronbach-a values between 0.788 and 0.917. No significant floor or ceiling effects were observed. The test-retest analysis showed excellent reliability of the Hungarian ODI and QDS. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were 0.927 and 0.923, respectively. SEM values of 4.8 and 5.2 resulted in a MDC of 13 and 14 points in the Hungarian ODI and QDS, respectively. The correlation coefficient (r) between pain and ODI was 0.680 (p \ 0.001) and the correlation between the ODI and the physical subscale of WHOQoL was also very good (r = -0.705, p \ 0.001). The QDS total score and its four subscales correlated significantly with pain and with the physical subscale of WHOQoL (r [ 0.4, p \ 0.001). The level of disability measured by the Hungarian ODI and QDS was significantly higher in the surgical subgroup than in non-surgically treated patients (p \ 0.001). Conclusions Translation and cultural adaptation of the ODI and QDS were successful. Hungarian versions of the ODI and QDS proved to be reliable, valid PROMs confirming that they can be used in future clinical and scientific work with Hungarian-speaking spine patients.

Measurement Properties of the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale in Patients With Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Systematic Review

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background. The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) has been translated into different languages, and several studies on its measurement properties have been done.Purpose. The purpose of this review was to critically appraise and compare the measurement properties, when possible, of all language versions of the QBPDS by systematically reviewing the methodological quality and results of the available studies.Method. Bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) were searched for articles with the key words "Quebec," "back," "pain," and "disability" in combination with a methodological search filter for finding studies on measurement properties concerning the development or evaluation of the measurement properties of the QBPDS in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Assessment of the methodological quality was carried out by the reviewers using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist for both the original language version of the QBPDS in English and French and all translated versions. The results of the measurement properties were rated based on criteria proposed by Terwee et al. Results.The search strategy resulted in identification of 1,436 publications, and 27 articles were included in the systematic review. There was limited-to-moderate evidence of good reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the QBPDS for the different language versions, but for no language version was evidence available for all measurement properties. Conclusion.For research and clinical practice, caution is advised when using the QBPDS to measure disability in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Strong evidence is lacking on all measurement properties for each language version of the QBPDS. O ne of the leading causes of disability worldwide is low back pain (LBP). Most of the time, LBP is benign and self-limiting and can be considered as nonspecific LBP, as no specific musculoskeletal pathology is found. [1][2][3] It occurs in similar proportions in all cultures, interferes with quality of life and work performance, and is the most common reason for medical consultation. 4,5 To measure the construct of disability in patients with LBP, several self-report back-specific questionnaires have been developed. They are recommended by the World Health Organization as instruments to evaluate the efficacy of treatments. 4 Two of the most commonly investigated questionnaires are the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) 6 -10 and the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI). 11-15 However, previous systematic reviews on available questionnaires to measure disability in patients with LBP indicate that the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) 16 -18 is another well-validated and often recommended questionnaire. 17,19 -21 The QBPDS also is commonly used in randomized controlled trials. 20,[22][23][24] The QBPDS (Appendix) was developed in 1995 in English and French. 16,17,25,26 Contrary to the RMDQ and ODI, the QBPDS is based on a concept...
