Objective. To adapt and validate the Indonesian version of the FRAIL scale (Ina-FRAIL) and the SARC-F (Ina-SARC-F).Methods. The Ina-FRAIL and the Ina-SARC-F were developed through forwards-backwards translation, and their validity (itemtotal item correlations), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), and test-retest reliability (kappa statistic) were determined. The diagnostic performance of the Ina-FRAIL and the Ina-SARC-F was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results. A total of 101 (57 men and 44 women) and 64 (23 men and 41 women) patients were included in the validation of the Ina-FRAIL scale and the Ina-SARC-F, respectively. For the Ina-FRAIL scale, internal consistency coefficient was 0.530, and test-retest reliability was 0.951 (p<0.001). The correlation coefficients between the total score and items of fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss of weight were 0.503, 0.813, 0.679, 0.561, and 0.317, respectively (all p<0.001). Correlation between the Ina-FRAIL scale and the Cardiovascular Health Study was strong (rs=0.696, p<0.001). Using the cut-off value of ≥2, the diagnostic performance of the Ina-FRAIL was 80% sensitivity and 70.4% specificity. For the Ina-SARC-F, internal consistency was 0.851, and test-retest reliability was 1.00 (p<0.001). The correlation coefficients between the total score and items of strength, ambulation, rising, climbing, and falls were 0.646, 0.775, 0.653, 0.685, and 0.580, respectively (all r>0.361 and p<0.001). Using the cut-off value of ≥3, the diagnosis performance of the Ina-SARC-F was 100% sensitivity and 61.7% specificity. Conclusions.The Ina-FRAIL scale and the Ina-SARC-F are valid and reliable tools to screen for frailty syndrome and sarcopenia, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
