Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of common health conditions that affects patients' health-related quality of life. Our purpose is to assess the reliability and validity of Thai-version of Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 in chronic rhinosinusitis. Permission for translation of SNOT-22 from English language to Thai language was obtained from the developer. The translation process was done based on the international standard of translation method. A total of 80 subjects were recruited into the study and divided into two groups comprising of 50 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and 30 healthy volunteers. Cronbach's α and Intraclass correlation coefficient were evaluated for its reliability. Validity test was evaluated against VAS score, SF-36 (Thai version) questionnaire and CT scan (based on Lund-Mackay score). Responsiveness was assessed between pre-operative and post-operative scores in 34 patients. The Thai version of SNOT-22 showed good reliability according to high value of Cronbach's α coefficient (r = 0.929) and intraclass correlation coefficient (r = 0.935). It also showed good validity by its ability to differential the patients with chronic rhinosinusitis from normal (p < 0.001), and different severity of symptoms (p < 0.05). In addition, the SNOT-22 Thai version also showed good responsiveness when compared between pre-operative and post-operative scores (p < 0.001) and also well-performed in effect size calculation (1.37). We demonstrated that Thai -version of SNOT-22 has good reliability and validity, suitable for evaluation of chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms together with severity of the disease and response to treatment. Thai clinical trials registry TCTR20170320003. Date of registration 20/03/2017 (retrospectively registered).

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 January 2018.
All research outputs
#20,458,307
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders
#65
of 82 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#377,542
of 441,864 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 82 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 441,864 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
