Objectives: The aim of this study was to adapt the English version of the Visual Analog Sleep Scale (VAS Scale) to Turkish, and to assess the validity and reliability of this Turkish version. Material and methods: The study design was both descriptive and methodological. The study group was comprised of 75 patients, who agreed to participate in the study. Each had received total hip replacement surgery in an orthopedic clinical hospital. Data was collected using a Turkish translation of the VAS Scale. Psychometric testing of the adapted instrument was carried out to establish internal consistency, interim correlation, and construct validity. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Barlett’s tests were applied to determine the sampling adequacy and suitability to the factor analysis. Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was found to be 0.89, and this value indicates suitability for principal component analysis. Similarly, Barlett’s test results (X2 = 608.74, p = 0.000) also indicate the interrelationships of the data and suitability for the factor analysis. The eigenvalue of the VAS Scale reduced to 10 items was found to be 6.65 and the variance was 66.52. The VAS Scale Cronbach’s alpha was 0.82 for the test items. The test-retest stability coefficient (validity of the scale) was 0.92. Alpha coefficient was found to be 0.94 for internal consistency. Conclusion: The original VAS Scale consisted of three sub-scales and 15 items, whereas the Turkish version has one dimension and 10 items. The Turkish version of the VAS Scale adapted to the orthopedics clinic can be used as a one-factor tool.

Bolest je vedle typických motorických příznaků Parkinsonovy nemoci jedním z nejčastějších nemotorických symptomů objevujících se ještě před nástupem obtíží v pohybovém systému. Pacienti s Parkinsonovou nemocí mohou trpět různým typem bolestí od bolesti muskuloskeletální po neuropatickou. Využití různých škál či dotazníků umožňuje zhodnocení pacientovy bolesti. Pro zhodnocení specifických typů bolestí u Parkinsonovy nemoci jsou doporučovány podle International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society škála King‘s Parkinson‘s Disease Pain Scale a dotazník King‘s Parkinson‘s Disease Pain Questionnaire. Cílem této práce bylo vytvořit český překlad King‘s Parkinson‘s Disease Pain Scale tak, aby obsahově odpovídal originální verzi, a zároveň byl dostatečně srozumitelný. Metodika: Jazyková validace proběhla podle manuálu společnosti Mapi Research Trust ve 4 fázích. Na souboru 18 pacientů s Parkinsonovou nemocí (průměrný věk 70 let, stadium 1–4 podle modifikované škály Hoehnové a Yahra) proběhlo opakované vyplnění škály. Výsledky: Test-retest reliabilita škály u jednotlivých oblastí je vysoká (>0,9 ve všech oblastech) a statisticky signifikantní (p <0,001 ve všech oblastech). Test-retest reliabilita celkového skóre je rovněž vysoká (0,991) a statisticky signifikantní (p <0,001). Zpětný překlad byl téměř totožný s originální verzí škály. Významově i obsahově korespondoval s originální verzí. Česká verze škály je již dostupná na webových stránkách společnosti Mapi Research Trust.

In addition to the typical motor symptoms in Parkinson‘s disease, pain is one of the most common non-motor symptoms occurring before the onset of musculoskeletal disorders. Patients with Parkinson‘s disease may suffer from various types of pain, from musculoskeletal to neuropathic. The use of various scales or questionnaires enables the evaluation of the patient‘s pain.. The King‘s Parkinson‘s Disease Pain Scale and the King‘s Parkinson‘s Disease Pain Questionnaire are recommended by International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society to assess specific types of pain in Parkinson‘s disease. The aim of this study was to create a Czech translation of King‘s Parkinson‘s Disease Pain Scale so that the content corresponds to the original version, and at the same time was sufficiently understandable. Methodology: The language validation was performed according to the Mapi Research Trust manual in 4 phases. In a group of 18 patients with Parkinson‘s disease (mean age 70 years, stage 1–4 according to the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale), the scale was repeatedly filled in. Results: Test-retest reliability of the scale in individual areas is high (> 0,9 in all areas) and statistically significant (p <0,001 in all areas). Test-retest reliability of the total score is also high (0,991) and statistically significant (p <0.001). The back translation was almost identical to the original version of the scale. Meaning and content corresponded to the original version. The Czech version of the scale is already available on the Mapi Research Trust website.

Článek pojednává o vizuálních analogových škálách intenzity bolesti (VAS-I), nepříjemnosti bolesti (VAS-U) a utrpení (VAS-S). Analyzuje, co VAS měří, vztahy VAS mezi sebou a s jinými testy, schopnosti VAS diferencovat mezi bolestivými stavy a citlivost VAS na změny během léčby. Analýzy u čtyř nezávislých souborů pacientů s chronickou bolestí (n = 477) dokládají, že analyzované VAS jsou validní. Korelace VAS-I a VAS-U se senzorickou a afektivní stupnicí dotazníku SF-MPQ ukazují, že obě metody měří relativně odlišné aspekty bolesti. VAS-S koreluje vysoce, VAS-U slaběji s úzkostí a depresí. Analyzované VAS jsou citlivé na změny během léčby. VAS-I a VAS-U dobře diskriminují mezi bolestivými stavy. VAS-U zachycuje počáteční, VAS-S pokročilou fázi chronizace bolesti. Je připojena tabulka pro převod hrubého skóre na standardní desetibodovou stupnici (tzv. steny).

This article analyzes construct, concurrent, discriminant and predictive validity of the Visual Analogue Scales of pain intensity (VAS-I), pain unpleasantness (VAS-U), and suffering (VAS-S). Four independent samples were used, involving a total of 477 chronic pain patients. Correlation analysis shows that VAS-I and VAS-U as well as the Sensory and Affective Indexes of the SF-MPQ measure different aspects of pain. VAS-S and VAS-U correlate with anxiety and depression (VAS-S more closely). The analysed VAS differentiates changes during treatment while VAS-I and VAS-U discriminate between pain states. VAS-U indicates initial, VAS-S advanced chronicity of pain. A table for transforming a raw score to standard score (stens) is included.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of radiofrequency denervation procedure on pain and quality of life of patients with facet joint syndrome. Forty-seven patients who were admitted to our hospital with low back pain and diagnosed with facet joint syndrome between January 2018 and December 2018 were included in our study. The patients underwent denervation with radiofrequency under fluoroscopy in a sterile operating room condition. The pre-procedure and 6th month follow-up VAS (visual analogue scale) and ODI (Oswestry disability index) scores of the patients were recorded. When the demographic data of the patients were analysed, the mean age of the patients was found to be 52. Of the patients, 61.7% were female. In the evaluation of VAS and ODI scores, which we used to measure the efficiency of the procedure, the 6th month values were found to be statistically lower than the pre-procedure values (p<0.05). The first treatment for facet joint syndrome is bed rest and medical treatment. Resistant cases also benefit from physical therapy and intra-articular steroid injection. In patients unresponsive to these treatments, denervation with radiofrequency appears to be an effective method. At least two levels must be performed for the procedure to be successful. Studies have shown that pain decreases in the long term (6-12 months) and quality of life increases. We also obtained similar results in our studies. In conclusion, we think that RF (radiofrequency) can be used as an effective method in cases where other treatments fail.

AIMS: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the reliability of our new visual scale for a quick atrophy assessment of parietal lobes on brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) among different professionals. A good agreement would justify its use for differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative dementias, especially early-onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD), in clinical settings. METHODS: The visual scale named the Parietal Atrophy Score (PAS) is based on a semi-quantitative assessment ranging from 0 (no atrophy) to 2 (prominent atrophy) in three parietal structures (sulcus cingularis posterior, precuneus, parietal gyri) on T1-weighted MRI coronal slices through the whole parietal lobes. We used kappa statistics to evaluate intra-rater and inter-rater agreement among four raters who independently scored parietal atrophy using PAS. Rater 1 was a neuroanatomist (JM), rater 2 was an expert in MRI acquisition and analysis (II), rater 3 was a medical student (OP) and rater 4 was a neurologist (DS) who evaluated parietal atrophy twice in a 3-month interval to assess intra-rater agreement. All raters evaluated the same 50 parietal lobes on brain MRI of 25 cognitively normal individuals with even distribution across all atrophy degrees from none to prominent according to the neurologist's rating. RESULTS: Intra-rater agreement was almost perfect with the kappa value of 0.90. Inter-rater agreement was moderate to substantial with kappa values ranging from 0.43-0.86. CONCLUSION: The Parietal Atrophy Score is the reliable visual scale among raters of different professions for a quick evaluation of parietal lobes on brain MRI within 1-2 minutes. We believe it could be used as an adjunct measure in differential diagnosis of dementias, especially early-onset AD.

In this study we propose a new tool for the perceptual assessment of voice quality. For its design, we have adapted the Simplified Vocal Profile Analysis so that the new tool features two main characteristics: (1) the ordinal scalar degrees of the original protocol are turned into a visual analog scale; and (2) the original paper-based version of the protocol is now a computer-based implementation. In order to assess the reliability of the new tool, five phoneticians listened to 12 different speakers and evaluated their voice quality using the proposed tool. Inter-rater agreement was then calculated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. The results show that high agreement was reached for most of the perceptual settings of the protocol. Yet more investigations seem necessary into the continuous nature of the perceptual dimensions making up the voice quality of a speaker. As a preliminary approach to the graphical possibilities that the visual analog scale offers to the Simplified Vocal Profile Analysis, we explore the usefulness of multiple dot plots and propose an adaptation of the Bland-Altman plot to be used in pairwise comparisons. In this study, these visualization techniques are tested on two pairs of identical twins.

Septoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures in otorhinolaryngology. Proper selection of patients for septoplasty as well as examination is essential for good outcome of surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of combination of 2 simple, cheap, and easily performed examinations for indication and outcomes of septoplasty to evaluate the effectiveness in this type of surgery. Seventy patients were enrolled from 2 tertiary centers from the period of April 2017 to March 2018, who all underwent septoplasty for nasal septal deviation. Total and unilateral peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF), unilateral visual analogue scale, and nasal endoscopy for indication and outcomes of septoplasty were performed. Furthermore, assessment of possible correlation between subjective and objective data before and 3 months after septoplasty was done. Statistical analysis was carried out on the obtained data. Postoperatively the total and both unilateral PNIF measurements increased significantly compared with corresponding preoperative values and similarly means of visual analogue scale scores on both sides decreased 3 months after the procedure. No significant correlation was seen between objective and subjective outcomes neither before the surgery, nor postoperatively. The study confirmed the suitability of using PNIF as a simple and inexpensive tool that can be a reasonable alternative to rhinomanometry and which is able to reflect changes after septoplasty. Simultaneously, along with the expected improvement in the total PNIF and unilateral PNIF on deviated side, a slight but significant improvement in PNIF values on the nondeviated side was also demonstrated.
