“…In another study, Roeyen et al [5] translated this questionnaire into Dutch and assessed its validity. They found an area under the curve in the ROC analysis for the obstructive ET group of 95%, confirming its excellent discriminant validity for the healthy control group; however, it was unable to discriminate the pathology of ET obstructive or patulous.…”

“…The questionnaire was validated and translated into several languages, such as German and Dutch. [4,5] In this study, we aimed to identify the value and discriminative power of the validated translation of the ETDQ-7 in a Turkish speaking population with and without ETD. To prevent the potentially confusing distribution of recent questionnaires that are not comparable to those available in the literature, a rigorous adaptation process is required, and mere translation alone is not adequate.…”

Objectives: This study aims to determine the value and discriminative power of the validated translation of the Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire-7 (ETDQ-7) in a Turkish speaking population with and without Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). Materials and Methods:The ETDQ-7 was completed by 38 patients with ETD and 47 healthy individuals. The internal consistency was evaluated using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was determined as an accuracy measure. Results:The Turkish version of the ETDQ-7's Cronbach's alpha value of 0.89. In the comparison of case and control groups, there was a significant change in the total scoring. There was a significant positive correlation between the test and retest using the Spearman's correlation test (p<0.05). In the discrimination of the ETD and control groups, curve area under 14, the highest cut-off value, was used. Sensitivity was 97.4%, positive predictive value was 88.1%, specificity was 89.4%, and negative predictive value was 97.7%. Conclusion:The Turkish version of the ETDQ-7 demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability and validity to be used for Turkish speaking individuals with ETD. Test-retest reliability for the Turkish version of the ETDQ-7 was also excellent.Keywords: Eustachian tube; eustachian tube dysfunction questionnaire-7; dysfunction; reliability. ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmada östaki tüp disfonksiyonu (ÖTD) olan ve olmayan Türkçe konuşan bir popülasyonda Östaki Tüp Disfonksiyonu Anketi-7'nin (ETDQ-7) doğrulanmış çevirisinin değeri ve ayırıcı gücü belirlendi. Gereç ve Yöntemler:Östaki Tip Disfonksiyonu Anketi-7 38 ÖTD hastası ve 47 sağlıklı birey tarafından tamamlandı. İç tutarlılık Cronbach alfa katsayısı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Alıcı işletim karakteristik (ROC) eğrisi, doğruluk ölçütü olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Türkçe ETDQ-7 versiyonunun Cronbach alfa değeri 0.89 idi. Olgu ve kontrol gruplarının karşılaştırılmasında, total puanlamada anlamlı değişim saptandı. Spearman korelasyon testi ile test ve yeniden test arasında anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki vardı (p<0.05). ÖTD ve kontrol gruplarının ayrımında, en yüksek kesme değeri 14 altındaki eğri alanı kullanıldı. Duyarlılık %97.4, pozitif öngörü değeri %88.1, özgüllük %89.4 ve negatif öngörü değeri %97.7 idi.Sonuç: Türkçe ETDQ-7 versiyonu ÖTD'li Türkçe konuşan bireylerde kullanılmak üzere kabul edilebilir düzeyde güvenirlik ve geçerlilik göstermiştir. Türkçe ETDQ-7 versiyonunun test-yeniden test güvenirliği de mükemmel düzeyde idi.Anahtar Sözcükler: Östaki tüpü; östaki tüp disfonksiyon testi-7; disfonksiyon; güvenirlik.

“…McCoul et al [4] reported their ETDQ-7 to reliably discriminate between patients with obstructive ET dysfunction and healthy controls. However, Van Roeyen et al [5] later demonstrated that ETDQ-7 (even without the item autophony) cannot discriminate between obstructive and patulous ET dysfunction [5,6] . ETDQ-7 can thus assess symptom severity, but still, expert opinion is essential for discrimination.…”

“…The 7-Item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) was designed by McCoul et al [4] as a disease-specific instrument for the assessment of symptoms related to obstructive dysfunction of ET. Although ETDQ-7 can discriminate between patients with any type of ET dysfunction and controls, it cannot discriminate between patients with patulous ET dysfunction and those with obstructive ET dysfunction (even without including a question on autophony) [5,6] . In addition, its responsiveness to change after (medical or surgical) treatment has not been studied.…”

OBJECTIVE:Baro-challenge-induced Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is defined as the presence of aural discomfort, popping, or pain, which only arises in case of ambient pressure changes, without abnormalities on otoscopy or tympanometry. Our primary aim was to determine the discriminative power of the 7-item Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) in patients with baro-challenge-induced ET dysfunction in comparison with that in healthy controls. The secondary aim was to determine the responsiveness of ETDQ-7 in patients with baro-challenge-induced obstructive ET dysfunction who underwent balloon dilation tuboplasty (BDET). MATERIALS and METHODS:The accuracy of the diagnostic test was determined on the basis of the area under the curve in receiver-operating curve (ROC) analysis. Responsiveness to change of ETDQ-7 was assessed by exploring preoperative and postoperative ETDQ-7 scores using Cohen's kappa coefficient. Patients were asked whether their complaints improved, remained stable, or deteriorated after BDET. The findings of subjective evaluation were then compared with the difference in the ETDQ-7 score after BDET. RESULTS:In the baro-challenge-induced ET dysfunction group, the median preoperative total ETDQ-7 score was 26, decreasing to 16 after BDET. ROC analysis demonstrated excellent discriminative power for the baro-challenge-induced ET dysfunction group. Cohen's kappa coefficient was 0.633, indicating that there was substantial agreement between the ETDQ-7 values before and after BDET.CONCLUSION: ETDQ-7 can discriminate between patients with baro-challenge-induced ET dysfunction and healthy controls and can therefore be useful in its diagnosis. Furthermore the ETDQ-7 is responsive to change in patients with baro-challenge-induced ET dysfunction who have undergone BDET, although a larger sample size is required to confirm these preliminary findings.
