慢性鼻-鼻窦炎和相关的鼻疾病在常规耳鼻咽喉实践中是常见的。常见的症状包括鼻塞,面部疼痛,面部压力,头痛,和主观感觉的脸的感觉\“肿,“一种感知的扭曲。除了感知变形或头痛外,还没有经过验证的量表来评估面部疼痛。目的是开发一种新的量表,用于评估接受鼻学评估的患者所经历的面部症状。
■这是一项前瞻性验证性横断面研究。一份病人调查问卷,12项面部投诉评估量表(FaCES-12),是为了根据临床经验和文献评估面部症状而创建的,包括面部疼痛的严重程度和时间,面部压力,面部知觉肿胀,和头痛。每个项目都使用11分的李克特量表进行评估,严重程度从0到10。数据来自2019年8月至12月在1个私人和2个学术耳鼻喉实践中的210名患者,以及PROMIS疼痛强度量表3a和22项鼻中结果测试。使用Pearson相关性和探索性因子分析确定结构效度。通过计算Cronbach的alpha和评估测试重测分数来评估内部一致性和测试重测可靠性。
■开发了一种名为FaCES-12的新的12项量表。FaCES-12证明了高可靠性,Cronbach的α为.94,重测可靠性高(r=.90)。该量表与PROMIS疼痛强度量表3a(r=.81)具有很强的相关性,与鼻音结果测试具有中等相关性(r=.48)。探索性因素分析表明,该量表包含相互关联的变量,可测量面部感觉的独特成分。
■FaCES-12是用于评估面部症状的有效且可靠的工具。有必要对该量表的应用进行进一步研究。
UNASSIGNED: Chronic rhinosinusitis and related rhinologic disorders are common in routine otolaryngologic practice. Common presenting symptoms include nasal obstruction, facial pain, facial pressure, headache, and a subjective feeling of the face feeling \"swollen,\" a perceptual distortion. No validated scale exists to assess facial pain in addition to perceptual distortion or headache. The objective was to develop a novel scale for assessment of facial symptoms experienced by patients presenting for rhinologic evaluation.
UNASSIGNED: This was a prospective validation cross-sectional study. A patient questionnaire, the 12-item Facial Complaints Evaluation Scale (FaCES-12), was created to evaluate facial symptoms based on clinical experience and the literature, including severity and timing of facial pain, facial pressure, facial perceptual swelling, and headache. Each item was assessed utilizing an 11-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 10 in severity. Data was collected prospectively from 210 patients in 1 private and 2 academic otolaryngologic practices from August to December 2019 along with the PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale 3a and 22-Item Sino-nasal Outcome Test. Construct validity was determined using Pearson correlation and exploratory factor analysis. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed by calculating Cronbach\'s alpha and assessing test-retest scores.
UNASSIGNED: A new 12-item scale named FaCES-12 was developed. FaCES-12 demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach\'s alpha of .94 and high test-retest reliability (r = .90). The scale revealed very strong correlation with the PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale 3a (r = .81) and moderate correlation with the Sino-nasal Outcome Test (r = .48). Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated the scale contained interrelated variables that measured unique components of facial sensations.
UNASSIGNED: The FaCES-12 is a valid and reliable instrument for use in the evaluation of facial symptoms. Further research into the application of this scale is warranted.
