IntroductionIn recent years, a growing number of near-death experience (NDE) testimonies have been collected worldwide due to an increasing interest in research on this phenomenon. China has many patients who survive life-threatening situations, leaving over much data on NDEs to be collected for research. In the historical context of Eastern civilization, many mentally controlled practices in China can also lead to “NDEs-like” (e.g., meditation). This study aimed (1) to translate and validate the recently developed Near-Death Experience Content (NDE-C) scale into Chinese and (2) to quantify and identify NDEs and NDEs-like in China with this new Chinese version of the NDE-C scale.MethodsHere, we presented the work that had been performed to translate the NDE-C scale into Chinese and validated this version on 79 NDE testimonies.ResultsBrislin’s back-translation model was performed to translate a Chinese version of the NDE-C scale and internal consistency (the Cronbach’s α value for the total group = 0.846) as well as the confirmatory factor analysis was conducted.DiscussionCurrently, the Chinese version of the NDE-C scale is ready for use in research practice in the context of Eastern culture, to screen people who have experienced an NDEs(-like) and to quantify their subjective experience, promoting further NDEs-related research in China.

“…The score obtained on the LEFS can partially predict the time to complete recovery in patients with MTSS, with poorer scores associated with an increase in the number of days to total recovery from this condition included within exercise-induced leg pain [ 60 ]. The LEFS has been translated, cross-culturally adapted and successfully validated in several languages: Italian [ 61 ], French [ 62 ], German [ 63 ], Spanish [ 64 ], Greek [ 65 ], Portuguese [ 66 ], Arabic [ 67 ] and Chinese [ 68 ], among others [ 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ]. However, none of these studies included participants with exercise-induced leg pain.…”

Background and Objectives: To determine the most commonly used patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in exercise-induced leg pain (EILP) and to identify specific PROMs for EILP in order to evaluate their psychometric properties and methodological quality. Materials and Methods: A strategic search was performed in different databases to identify and extract the characteristics of studies based on the use of PROMs in patients with EILP. Specific PROMs were evaluated according to the Terwee et al. and COSMIN criteria. Results: Fifty-six studies were included in the review. The Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome Score (MTSSS), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and Exercise-Induced Leg Pain Questionnaire (EILP-Q) were identified as specific PROMs for EILP. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was the most widely used instrument in the assessment of EILP. The methodological quality assessment showed six positive values for the LEFS, four for the MTSSS and three for the EILP-Q for the eight psychometric properties analyzed according to the COSMIN criteria. The evaluation of the nine psychometric properties according to Terwee showed five positive values for the LEFS and MTSSS, and three for the EILP-Q. Conclusions: The overall methodological quality of the PROMs used was low. The VAS was the most widely used instrument in the assessment of EILP, and the LEFS was the highest quality PROM available for EILP, followed by the MTSSS and EILP-Q, respectively.

“…[1][2][3] The Simpli ed Chinese Lower Extremity Functional Scale (SC-LEFS) is cross-culturally adapted with evidence for reliability, validity, and responsiveness in individuals with a variety of lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries. [4][5][6] This includes a substantial clinical bene t (SCB) value which quanti es a change in score on the SC-LEFS that an individual is likely to perceive as functional improvement. [6,7] This single SCB change score value is generally applied to all common types of lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries, including acute and chronic conditions of the hip, knee, ankle, and foot.…”

Background A single substantial clinical benefit (SCB) value for the Simplified Chinese Lower Extremity Functional Scale (SC-LEFS) that can be applied to those with lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries is available. However, unique SCB values defined by specific body region and symptom duration may enhance the precision of the SC-LEFS in clinical assessments. Methods This study aim to determine unique SCB values for the SC-LEFS based on symptom duration and body region. Patients 18–50 years of age referred to physical therapy with a non-arthritic musculoskeletal injury to the knee or ankle/foot completed the SC-LEFS at initial assessment and 4-weeks follow-up. Demographic information, including duration of symptoms was also obtained. Patients were classified into “improved” and “not improved” groups based on self-report after 4-weeks of physical therapy. SCB values were determined to best distinguish between the two groups. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis defined the sensitivity and specificity for these SCB values. Results Three hundred and thirteen patients with a mean age of 33.7 (SD 9.3) years were included in the knee region analysis and 354 patients with a mean age of 32.9 (SD 9.4) years in the ankle/foot region analysis. For those with knee injuries, SCB values of 9.5 and 5.5 were found for patients with symptom duration ≤ 3 months and symptom duration > 3 months, respectively. For those with ankle/foot injuries, SCB values 12.5 and 8.5 were found for patients with symptom duration ≤ 3 months and symptom duration > 3 months, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity for these SCB values ranged from 0.67 to 0.72 and from 0.66 to 0.68, respectively, with area under the cures (AUC) being between 0.67 to 0.72. All 95% confidence intervals for AUC were greater than 0.50, indicating adequate accuracy. Conclusion This study determined specific SCB values for the SC-LEFS after four weeks of physical therapy based on region of injury and symptom duration. These unique values may better allow clinicians to distinguish those “improved” from “not improved” in Chinese-speaking patients with non-arthritic musculoskeletal knee, ankle, or foot injuries. Trial registration: This project was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100052104) on 2021-10-17.
