“…Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measurement is considered an important piece of the evaluation process of the burden of a disease from the patient's perspective (9,13). The COMQ-12 scale is an HRQoL questionnaire for COM originally designed in English in order to assess symptom severity and its relationship with patient's referred discomfort in their quality of life (16,17). This scale has been validated in several languages and different socio-cultural backgrounds so that clinical outcomes assessment can be standardized (16).…”

“…Measurement of HRQoL, particularly after treatment, has become an important feature to guide therapeutic decision making in clinical practice (11). There are some HRQoL scales for COM such as COMOT-15 (12), COM-5 (13), and recently, the COMQ-12 scale (1), which has been validated and translated to many different languages: Indian Kannada (11), Dutch (14), Serbian (9), Portuguese (15), Russian (16), Korean (17), Turkish (18), and Italian (19). However, there is no quality of life scale for COM validated in Spanish and additional psychometric evaluation is required (9)(14)(16) (17).…”

Background Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is considered an important aspect of clinical assessment and health research. Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is related to the quality of life deterioration subsequent to COM symptoms, social communication impairments and lower work performance. However, there is no reliable information regarding the impact of this disease on health and quality of life in many resource-poor countries. Therefore, we translated into Spanish and culturally adapted the Chronic Otitis Media Questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) for the evaluation of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of Chronic Otitis Media (COM) in adult patients. Also, we assessed the psychometric properties of our version of the questionnaire.Methods Two otology referral centers in Bogotá, Colombia were included. The Spanish version of COMQ-12 was applied twice to 200 adult patients with confirmed COM diagnosis and to 31 healthy controls in order to perform the validation process and assess the internal consistency of this questionnaire. Psychometric characteristics (replicability, reliability, and validity) of the COMQ-12 were assessed. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted via structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to test the questionnaire’s structure.Results The Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.8526, McDonald’s Omega = 0.8901). Coefficients corresponding to Lin’s Concordance test and test-retest reliability were 0.945 and 0.82 respectively. Correlation between the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the COMQ-12 was = 0.676 (IC 95% = 0.593; 0.745). Factor analysis of the Spanish version of the COMQ-12 indicated a questionnaire structure with three domains: smelly discharge related symptoms; hearing loss related symptoms; and impact on work, lifestyle and health services.Conclusion This Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed high reliability and high internal consistency. This questionnaire can be used as an objective clinical tool to assess the HRQoL of patients who have a COM diagnosis.

The Spanish version of COMQ-12 was applied twice to 200 adult patients with confirmed COM diagnosis and 31 healthy controls to perform the validation process and assess the internal consistency of this questionnaire. Psychometric characteristics (internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity) of the COMQ-12 were assessed. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted via structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the questionnaire’s structure. Results: The Spanish version of the COMQ-12 showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.852, McDonald’s Omega: 0.890).

Objective:Our study aimed to translate the chronic otitis media questionnaire-12 (COMQ-12) into the Arabic language, evaluate the internal consistency of the test and test-retest reliability, and validate the adaptation for further use in Arabic studies.Study Design:A prospective observation monocenter cohort study.Settings:This study was done at Kafrelsheikh University Hospital, Egypt.Patients:One hundred twenty five ear pathology-free patients were asked to complete the questionnaire forming group A. One hundred twenty five patients with different forms of COM completed the questionnaire 2 weeks before the planned ear surgery and the same day of the operation, forming group B. Those patients who underwent the ear surgery, completed the questionnaire again 6 months after the operation forming group C.Intervention:We did an Arabic forward and backward translation of the original COMQ-12. The patients in group B underwent ear surgery (tympanoplasty with or without mastoidectomy). After fulfilling the questionnaire in different groups, we assessed the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of COMQ-12: internal consistency, reliability, reproducibility, validity, and responsiveness.Main Outcome Measures:Cronbach's α was 0.973. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was 0.981, while the Intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.973.Results:A statistically significant difference was present between group A (average total score 2.38 ± 1.543) and group B (average total score 35.86 ± 5.98). Also, there was a statistically significant difference between group B and group C (average total score 7.46 ± 8.294). The calculated cut-off point of the total score was more than or equal to eight.Conclusion:The cross-culturally Arabic adaptation of COMQ-12 was reliable, valid with strong internal consistency and responsiveness. It can detect the significant effect of COM on the quality of life of Arabic patients. This effect would be improved obviously after surgical management that markedly enhanced the preoperative hearing problem.
