Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test‐22: translation, cultural adaptation and validation in Portugal

Abstract

Until now, there were no validated questionnaires to evaluate quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis in Portugal. Translation and validation of Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 in Portugal will allow a more consistent assessment of the specific quality of life of these patients and the comparison with international data. Thus, we recommend this version for use with the Portuguese population with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Translation into Portuguese, adaptation, and validity assessment of the food safety climate self‐assessment tool

“…Kappa for the intensity of agreement and Pearson's correlations among the 28 items for the English and Portuguese versions according to the assessment of seven experts considering the high level of expertise of the translators, teachers, and experts in this field of research.The utilization of Cohen's kappa coefficients and Pearson's correlation demonstrated that the intensity of agreement was up to 80%, indicating a significant concordance between the two versions. These indices have been used widely in previous studies that developed versions of scales in different languages(de Vilhena, Duarte, & Lopes, 2016;Odunaiya, Louw, & Grimmer, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2016;Yilmaz, Gafuroglu, Ryall, & Yuksel, 2018). In the present study, satisfactory kappa scores were obtained (>0.70; p > .05).…”

Psychometric Arabic Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22: validation and translation in chronic rhinosinusitis patients

“…The sample size was relatively small, but comparable with average numbers of other international SNOT-22 validation studies. 6 – 8 , 10 , 11 , 18 , 21 Furthermore, validation of the SNOT-22 in the current study was in a Saudi Arabian population. We did not enroll subjects from other Arab countries.…”

“…The English SNOT-22 has been translated into many languages including Greek, Lithuanian, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Czech, Hebrew, Danish, French, Persian, Spanish, Turkish, and Thai. 6 – 8 , 10 – 12 , 18 – 23 Adnane et al 24 adapted and validated a Moroccan version, but it is in a dialect that is difficult for other Arab populations to interpret. Marglani et al 25 adopted a modified Arabic version of the SNOT-16, but they did not report testing its reliability or responsiveness.…”
