Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: To conduct a translation and validation study of the Chronic Orchialgia Symptom Index (COSI), which has 12 questions in three domains pain (P), sexual symptoms (SS), and quality of life (QoL), in the Turkish language.
UNASSIGNED: The study included a total of 175 patients diagnosed with chronic scrotal content pain (CSCP) between January 2023 and January 2024. In addition to demographic data, the scores obtained on the COSI questionnaire and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were recorded. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach alpha coefficients. Reliability was evaluated using the test-retest correlation method.
UNASSIGNED: The mean age of the patients was 37.2 ± 14.1 years and the median (IQR) duration of pain was 5.5 (9) months. The median total COSI score was determined as 13 (13) and the median subscores were 7 (7) for P, 1 (2) for SS, and 5 (6) for QoL. The test-retest correlation coefficient for each item was determined to be higher than r = 0.80 (p < 0.001). The Cronbach alpha values for the subscores were 0.80 for P, 0.71 for SS, and 0.80 for QoL. There was determined to be a statistically significant positive correlation between the VAS score and the COSI P, SS, QoL, and total scores (r: 0.63, p < 0.001; r = 0.32, p < 0.001; r = 0.56, p < 0.001; r = 0.59, p < 0.001, respectively). The optimal cutoff point of the COSI total score was determined to be 16.5 points (AUC:0.77, p < 0.001) for the determination of patients experiencing severe pain (⩾ 7.5) according to the VAS score.
UNASSIGNED: The Turkish version of the COSI questionnaire is a valid, reliable, and repeatable questionnaire that can be used to evaluate the effects of symptom severity in patients with CSCP.

摘要：
■为了进行慢性睾丸疼痛症状指数（COSI）的翻译和验证研究，在三个领域有12个问题疼痛(P)，性症状（SS），和生活质量(QoL)，土耳其语。
■该研究共纳入了2023年1月至2024年1月期间诊断为慢性阴囊内容疼痛（CSCP）的175例患者。除了人口统计数据，记录COSI问卷和视觉模拟量表(VAS)的评分.使用Cronbachα系数评估内部一致性。使用测试-重测相关方法评估可靠性。
■患者的平均年龄为37.2±14.1岁，疼痛的中位持续时间（IQR）为5.5（9）个月。P的COSI总分中位数为13（13），子得分中位数为7（7），1（2）对于SS，和5（6）的QoL。确定每个项目的测试-重测相关系数高于r=0.80(p<0.001)。子分数的Cronbachα值为P的0.80，SS为0.71，QoL为0.80。确定VAS评分与COSIP之间存在统计学上的显着正相关，SS,QoL,和总分(r:0.63,p<0.001;r=0.32,p<0.001;r=0.56,p<0.001;r=0.59,p<0.001)。根据VAS评分，确定COSI总分的最佳截止点是16.5分（AUC：0.77，p<0.001），用于确定经历严重疼痛的患者（7.5）。
■COSI问卷的土耳其语版本是有效的，可靠,和可重复的问卷，可用于评估症状严重程度对CSCP患者的影响。
