Aging is an inevitable process and represents the accumulation of bodily alterations over time. Depression and chronic pain are highly prevalent in elderly populations. It is estimated that 13% of the elderly population will suffer simultaneously from the two conditions. Accumulating evidence suggests than neuroinflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of both depression and chronic pain. Apart from the common pathophysiological mechanisms, however, the two entities have several clinical links. Their management is challenging for the pain physician; however, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches are available and can be used when the two conditions are comorbid in the elderly patients.

Background: The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) constitutes a valuable tool in evaluating the quality of care offered in orthopaedic surgery. The aim of this review is to identify the PROMs that have been translated into and validated in the Greek language, summarise their measurement properties, and evaluate their methodological quality according to the COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist. Methods: A structured literature search was conducted using the databases PubMED/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library in order to identify PROMs relevant to musculoskeletal conditions translated and validated in the Greek language. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed according to the COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist, and the quality of measurement properties according to the COMSIN criteria. Results: Literature search yielded 6743 articles. After removal of duplicates and screening of the articles, 32 studies including PROMs related to musculoskeletal conditions were identified. The studies included 31 PROMs and reported 171 measurement properties. Methodological quality was adequate for 81 of them (47.3%). The most commonly reported measurement properties were internal consistency, reliability, construct validity and responsiveness. Conclusion: The majority of PROMs translated into Greek involves the lower extremity and especially knee pathologies. The search revealed that there are areas of Musculoskeletal Medicine such as skeletal trauma, musculoskeletal oncology, and paediatric orthopaedics in which patient reported-outcome measures have not been translated into Greek. Translation and validation of new outcome measures is encouraged, using studies designed in compliance with the COSMIN guidelines, and further validation of the translated instruments.

“…Along with the changes in the way one diagnosis FM through the years [ 3 , 23 , 24 ], instruments that allow healthcare professionals to screen for FM in different clinical settings makes this diagnostic process faster. In this sense, the FiRST® was one of the first instruments with this proposal, and has been translated into several languages, such as French [ 25 ], Spanish [ 26 , 27 ], Greek [ 28 ] and Turkish [ 29 ].…”

Objective The Fibromyalgia Rapid Screening Tool (FiRST) was developed to screen people with chronic pain for Fibromyalgia (FM), especially in primary health care settings. This study aimed to translate the FiRST into Brazilian Portuguese and evaluate its measurement properties for an online application. Methods After the process of translation and backtranslation, the FiRST was applied online in 483 adults with chronic pain (FM group n = 395; Chronic pain group n = 88), along with the Numerical Rating Scale for pain and fatigue, the Brief Pain Inventory, and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire-Revised. A Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was computed and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to determine the sensibility, specificity, and cut-off score for the FiRST. The Mann-Whitney test was used for quantitative variables and the Chi-square and the Fisher’s exact test, for the categorical variables with level of significance of 5%. Fleiss’ Kappa, Gwet’s AC1 and percentage of agreement were also calculated between test and retest. Results For all the questionnaires, the FM group presented higher scores, which mean a worst condition. The FiRST presented a sensitivity of 92.3%, and a specificity of 61.6% with 5 as the cut-off score. AUC, Fleiss’ Kappa, Gwet’s AC1 and percentage of agreement were, respectively, 0.82, 0.38, 0.63 and 71.8%. Conclusion The FiRST was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and the online version presented a good content validity and adequate measurement errors that allow FM patients to be screened among people with chronic pain.
