Filter by:The goal of this study is to investigate the inter-rater variability of mortality risk calculations for high-risk non-cardiac surgical patients. For this purpose patient information from health care files were used. Five anesthesiologists calculated the mortality risks with three calculators for 34 high-risk non-cardiac surgical patients. The patients were discussed in a preoperative multidisciplinary discussion in a large teaching hospital in The Netherlands.
Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that increases disability and decreases quality of life in addition to socio-economic impact. Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than three months. Chronic pain is a multidimensional and complex experience. According to this model, chronic pain is a multidimensional and complex experience. This experience may be accompanied by different pain beliefs, pain avoidance behaviours, pain-related fear of movement, anxiety and depression. Many conditions involving the shoulder complex including traumatic and non-traumatic pain, subacromial impingement, postoperative pain, rotator sheath tears, rotator sheath tendinopathy, shoulder arthritis, adhesive capsulitis, shoulder instabilities may lead to pain-related fear of movement. Until now, pain-related fear and avoidance behaviours in patients with shoulder pain have been evaluated with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Pain Avoidance Beliefs Scale and Fear of Pain Scale. However, only patients with low back pain were included in the development of these scales. There was no scale developed specifically for shoulder pain. To fill this gap in the literature, Ansanello et al. developed the "Avoidance Daily Activities Photo Scale for Patients With Shoulder Pain (ADAP)" scale to evaluate pain avoidance behaviours in individuals with shoulder pain. Cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the ADAP scale has not been studied. The aim of our study was to perform cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Avoidance of Daily Activities Photo Scale for Patients with Shoulder Pain (ADAP Shoulder Scale).
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the DESQ and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking adults.
People living with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience a range of secondary health conditions that impact their quality of lives. The Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) is a 16-item questionnaire that assess secondary health conditions in persons with SCI. The total score of SCI-SCS range from 0 to 48 and is derived by adding the scores for each item. Higher scores indicate greater problems with secondary conditions. The investigators aimed to determine the reliability and cross-cultural validation of the Turkish translation of the SCI-SCS.
Sensory disorders are one of the most important problems in individuals with MS, and these disorders are among the first symptoms of MS. Loss of sense of proprioception is particularly common in patients with MS. Studies show that assessment methods for the quantitative measurement of sensory disorders are lacking. Especially in the clinic, there is no evaluation method that evaluates the sense of proprioception. Therefore, the aim of this study perform the validity and reliability study of the lower extremity position test to evaluate proprioception sense in individuals with MS.
SWAY Medical, Inc. (SWAY) has developed a mobile application that assesses balance, functional performance, and cognitive function. Clinical reliability, validity, and normative data have been studied extensively in individuals aged 5 to 20. The accuracy of the SWAY Mobile Application in assessing conditions associated with head injury has also been well established. The objectives of this study are to examine the reliability and validity, and establish normative data, for SWAY balance, functional, and cognitive assessments in healthy adults aged 21-90. The SWAY smartphone app will be used to record balance, simple reaction time, impulse control, inspection time, working memory, reverse number counting, flanker task, modified Stroop, and 30 second chair stand test results. The following tests will be administered to participants: Test of Premorbid Functioning, WAIS-IV Logical Memory, WMS-IV Older Adult Logical Memory, Animal Fluency, Boston Naming Test, D-KEFS Color Word Interference Test, WMS-IV Symbol Span, WAIS-IV Coding, Auditory Consonant Trigrams, Verbal Fluency (FAS), and Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test.
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the F-2-MS and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
The aims of this study were to perform cultural adaptation of the telephone based ABILOCO-stroke instrument and provide information regarding the factor structure, reliability and validity of the instrument in Turkish speaking patients with stroke.
Capillary refill time is the time it takes for the skin to regain its initial colour after moderate pressure. It is usually performed on the patient index finger, middle finger or ring finger with the examiner's thumb and index finger for five seconds, three measurements having to be averaged. Capillary refill time has a dependent operator character, but it has been shown to be accurately correlated with 14-day mortality in septic shock, hospitalisation need in pediatric population. The purpose of this project is to show that capillary refill time obtained by a video-assisted method has a better inter- and intra-observer reproducibility than capillary refill time obtained by a visual method.
The Activity Diversity Questionnaire (ADQ) was developed to assess activity diversity. The questionnaire consists of 20 items rated on a four-point Likert scale. This questionnaire defines activity diversity using Shannon's entropy and is the first assessment tool of activity diversity validated for validity and reliability. Important data can be obtained from this questionnaire, such as the relationship between the health status of older adults and their activity diversity. There is no scale in Turkish that can be used to evaluate the activity diversity. The aim of our study was to investigate the relevance of the Activity Diversity Questionnaire for Turkish older adults and the effectiveness of its clinical use.
