Abstract

AMAÇ: Çalışmanın amacı ÖTD tanı ve tedavisindeki sınırlılıkları ortadan kaldırmak için oluşturulan Östaki Tüpü Disfonksiyon Ölçeği-7’nin (ETDQ-7) Türkçe doğrulaması kullanılarak, eksternal validasyonunu sağlamak ve Sinonazal Sonuç Testi-22 (SNOT-22) testi ve alt gruplarının bu amaçla kullanılabilirliğini değerlendirmektir.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: ÖTD tanısı almış hasta grubu ve kontrol grubu tarafından ETDQ-7 ve SNOT-22 anketleri doldurulmuştur. İç tutarlılık Cronbach-alfa katsayısı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Gruplar arasında ölçek skorları karşılaştırılmıştır. Etki düzeyleri alıcı işlem karakteristikleri (ROC) eğrisi ile hesaplanmıştır.
BULGULAR: ETDQ-7 için Cronbach alfa katsayısı değeri 0,832 bulundu. Hasta grubunda ETDQ-7 skoru kontrol grubundan anlamlı (p<0,001) olarak daha yüksekti. Hasta grubunda ETDQ-7 skoru >14,5 olan hastaların oranı, kontrol grubundan anlamlı (p<0,001) olarak daha yüksek hesaplanmıştır. Hasta grubunda SNOT22 toplam skoru, rinolojik, ekstra-nazal rinolojik, kulak/fasiyal, psikolojik ve uyku disfonksiyon skorları kontrol grubundan anlamlı (hepsi; p<0,05) olarak daha yüksekti. Hasta ve kontrol gruplarının ayrımını öngörmede; ETDQ-7 skorunun (AUC: 0,988), ETDQ-7 skorunun 14,5 eşik değerinde (AUC: 0,938) etkin olduğu gözlenmiştir. SNOT-22 toplam skorunun (AUC: 0.843) hasta ve kontrol grubu ayrımını öngörmede etkinliği gözlenmiştir.
SONUÇ: ETDQ-7'nin Türkçe uyarlaması geçerli ve güvenilirdir. Kronik östaki bozukluğunun hastaların yaşamları üzerindeki etkisini ve ciddiyetini ölçmek için klinik değerlendirmede kullanılabilir. SNOT-22, ÖTD tanısında etkinliği yeterlidir ancak ETDQ-7'nin gerisinde kalmaktadır. ETDQ-7 özellikle takip muayenelerinde, ÖTD'li hastaların tıbbi ve cerrahi tedavisinin sonuçlarını ölçmede ve sonuçların uluslararası literatürle karşılaştırılmasında değerli olduğu öngörülmektedir.

External Validation and Evaluation of Efficacy of Scales Used in Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Year 2022, Volume: 55 Issue: 3, 203 - 207, 31.12.2022

Abstract

AIM: The aim of the study is to provide external validation of the Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire-7 (ETDQ-7), which was created to eliminate the limitations in the diagnosis and treatment of ETD, and to evaluate the usability of the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) test and its subgroups for this purpose.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: ETDQ-7 and SNOT-22 questionnaires were filled in by the patient group diagnosed with ETD and the control group. Scale scores were compared between groups. Effect levels were calculated with the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.
RESULTS: ETDQ-7 score in the patient group was significantly (p<0.001) higher than the control group. The SNOT-22 total score, rhinological, extra-nasal rhinological, ear/facial, psychological and sleep dysfunction scores were significantly higher in the patient group than the control group (all; p<0.05). In predicting the separation of patient and control groups; It was observed that the ETDQ-7 score (AUC: 0.988) and the ETDQ-7 score were effective at the 14.5 cut-off (AUC: 0.938). The effectiveness of the SNOT-22 total score (AUC: 0.843) in predicting the distinction between patient and control groups was observed.
CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of the ETDQ-7 is valid and reliable. It can be used in clinical assessment to measure the impact and severity of chronic eustachian disorder on patients' lives. SNOT-22 is effective in the diagnosis of ETD, but lags behind ETDQ-7. ETDQ-7 is predicted to be valuable especially in follow-up examinations, measuring the results of medical and surgical treatment of patients with ETD and comparing the results with the international literature.
