“…Our hypotheses regarding convergent validity were supported; an adequate positive correlation was found between the DHI‒T and VAS‒T, and a similar association was seen in the German version 19 . Furthermore, the negative and moderate range of correlations between the related sub-scales (DHI‒P and DHI‒F) and the objective score (CTSIB‒T) in this study were similarly generated by both Kurre and colleagues 19 and Nikitas and colleagues 23 , by correlating distinct types of objective scores with the DHI sub-scales.…”

We cross-culturally adapted the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) into Central Kurdish dialect (DHI − CK) and verified its reliability and validity. A cross-sectional study was utilised to measure the impacts of vestibular disorders. Along with the DHI − CK, two comparators were introduced: the Visual Analogue Scale and the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance. External and internal reliability were tested with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha/composite reliability, respectively. Patients (n = 301; mean age = 44.5 ± 15.2 years; 59.8% women) presenting with vestibular symptoms for at least 30 days who were diagnosed with a vestibular disorder and healthy participants (n = 43; mean age = 42 ± 17.9 years; 62.8% women) (N = 344). The DHI − CK and its three sub-scales—Physical, Emotional, Functional—exhibited good to excellent external reliability: ICCs in the test-retest were 0.93, 0.88, 0.91, and 0.92, respectively. Cronbach’s alphas were 0.87, 0.71, 0.75, and 0.73, respectively. Convergent validity was supported by Spearman’s correlations between the DHI − CK and the comparators. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis confirmed discriminating validity. The DHI − CK was cross-culturally validated. It is a reliable and valid tool that can be used by clinicians and researchers to quantify vestibular disorder outcomes in Kurdish - speaking populations.

“…physical, emotional and functional, with the total score ranging from 0 to 100. DHI-E is one of the most reliable subjective tools in assessing the effect of dizziness in various aspects of life and therefore, the original American-English version has been translated and validated into several languages and cultures, such as Chinese, French, Brazilian, Arabic, German, Greek, Italian and Norwegian [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] .

“…DHI-E is a reliable device in understanding the effect of oto-neurological rehabilitation programs [27][28][29] . In spite of its popularity as a common clinical tool, an equivalent version of the DHI-E is not available in any of the Indian languages except Kannada and Malayalam [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] . India is a multilingual country with multiple cultures and backgrounds.…”

Objective: Dizziness is a sensation of spatial disorientation of rotating or non-rotating in nature, mostly due to Oto-neurological insults. A symptom-specific dizziness handicap inventory may aid in understanding the severity of the condition and its impact on the quality of life. Therefore, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory-English version (DHI-E) was used as the most reliable subjective tool to assess the effect of dizziness in various aspects of life and so was translated into several languages. Hence, the present study aimed at developing and standardizing the self-administering Dizziness Handicap Inventory -Gujarati version (DHI-G). Methods:A cross-sectional survey design was performed. 50 participants, i.e. 18 males and 32 females aged between 15 to 55 years with complaints of vertigo/dizziness were recruited for the study. The questionnaire was re-administered to thirty of the total participants after 10 days of initial administration for examining test-retest reliability.Results: DHI-G achieved an overall alpha score of 0.92 suggesting good internal consistency and the score of 0.84, 0.82 and 0.81 on three subscales i.e. physical, functional and emotional respectively. Intra class correlation (ICC) revealed good test-retest reliability with a score of 0.81. Conclusion:DHI-G can be used as a reliable and valid tool in the clinical and research setting extensively.

“…Moreover, as there is a common overlap of COM, dizziness and tinnitus-associated complaints in a single patient, it is appropriate to provide multiple questionnaires to assess these complaints. COMQ-12, DHI, NVI and THI are useful questionnaires to determine physical, cognitive, socioeconomic and emotional neuropsychological influences of the disease on HRQoL (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

AbstractPurposeTo provide physicians and patients with the tools needed to evaluate patients’ problems and health-related quality of life by cross-culturally adapting and validating the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire 12 (COMQ-12), the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), the Neuropsychological Vertigo Inventory (NVI) and the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI).Materials and methodsCOMQ-12, DHI, NVI and THI were translated into the Slovenian language and completed by patients treated at our department for chronic otitis media, vertigo or tinnitus. The control group for each questionnaire consisted of healthy volunteers. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, discriminant validity, diagnostic accuracy and cut-off value were determined for each questionnaire.ResultsTest-retest reliability was excellent for DHI (ICC A=0.946) and NVI (p=0.315, ICC A=0.975), good to excellent for COMQ-12 (p=0.680, ICC A=0.858) and satisfactory for THI (p=0.120). Discriminant validity was confirmed for each questionnaire (p>0.05) using the Mann-Whitney U test (COMQ-12, DHI, THI) or the Welch t-test (NVI). COMQ-12 had acceptable (α=0.796) and DHI (α=0.910), NVI (α=0.950) and THI (α=0.924) perfect internal consistency. COMQ-12 and DHI had excellent, NVI acceptable and THI perfect diagnostic accuracy (AUC=0.987, AUC=0.999, AUC=0.781 and AUC=1.000 respectively). Cut-off values determined by Youden’s index were 7, 7, 9 and 56 for COMQ-12, THI, DHI and NVI, respectively.ConclusionSlovenian COMQ-12, DHI, NVI and THI are a valid and accurate tool for the diagnosis and measurement of health-related quality of life in patients with chronic otitis media, vertigo and tinnitus. They could aid general practitioners, occupational health specialists, neurologists and otorhinolaryngologists.
