Publication Metadata only The validity and reliability of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Quality of Life Questionnaire (L-QoL) in a Turkish population(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Duruoz, M. T.; Unal, C.; Toprak, C. Sanal; Sezer, I.; Yilmaz, F.; Ulutatar, F.; Atagunduz, P.; Baklacioglu, H. S.Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may have a profound impact on quality of life. There is increasing interest in measuring quality of life in lupus patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of SLE Quality of Life Questionnaire (L-QoL) in Turkish SLE patients. Methods SLE according to 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Classification Criteria were recruited into the study. Demographic data, clinical parameters and disease activity measured with the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K); were noted. Nottingham Health Profile and Health Assessment Questionnaire were filled out in addition to the Turkish L-QoL (LQoL-TR). Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated. Results The mean age of participants was 43.5514.33 years and the mean disease duration was 89.8 +/- 92.1 months. The patients filled out LQoL-TR in 2.5min. Strong correlation of LQoL-TR with all subgroups of the Nottingham Health Profile and the Health Assessment Questionnaire were established showing the convergent validity. The highest correlation was demonstrated with emotional reactions (rho=0.72) and sleep component (rho=0.65) of the Nottingham Health Profile scale (p<0.0001). Its poor and not significant correlation with nonfunctional parameters (age, disease duration, perceived general health, SLEDAI-2K) showed its discriminative properties. LQoL-TR demonstrated good internal reliability with a Cronbach's of 0.93 and test-retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.87. Conclusion The LQoL-TR is a practical and useful tool which demonstrates good validity and reliability.Publication Metadata only The evaluation of the static and dynamic balance disorders in patients with psoriatic arthritis(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Duruoz, Mehmet Tuncay; Baklacioglu, Hatice Sule; Toprak, Canan Sanal; Atalay, Kardelen Gencer; Atagunduz, Mehmet PamirTo evaluate the static and dynamic balances in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to investigate their relationship with clinical and functional parameters. Patients diagnosed with PsA and healthy controls were recruited consecutively into the study. The demographic variables such as age, sex, body mass index of the subjects were noted. Radiographic images were examined for the detection of foot deformities. Foot and Ankle Outcome Score' (FAOS) was used to assess foot function. The dynamic and static balance of the patients was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale' (BBS) and Neurocom Balance Master' device. The fatigue (Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue: MAF), depression (Beck Depression Inventory: BDI) and sleep disorders (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index: PSQI) of all patients were evaluated. This study included 50 PsA patients and 50 healthy controls with mean ages of 45.02 (SD 12.81) and 45.12 (SD 10.56), respectively. Demographic data of both groups were similar. Concerning the balance tests, there were significant differences (p<0.05) between patient and control groups about the all tests of sway velocity (except on foam surface eyes closed test), end sway of tandem walk test, movement time of bilateral step up over test and lift up index of left step up over test. There was no significant correlation between static and dynamic balance parameters with MAF, BDI, PSQI, foot deformities and FAOS. The static and dynamic balance impairments are seen in PsA. As the balance parameters had no significant correlation with functional and clinical data, they are acceptable as independent parameters during the course of the disease.Publication Metadata only Validation of the Toronto Psoriatic Arthritis Screen II (TOPAS II) questionnaire in a Turkish population(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Duruoz, Mehmet Tuncay; Toprak, Canan Sanal; Ulutatar, FiratObjective To evaluate the TOPAS II questionnaire validation in a Turkish population. Methods The Turkish translation of ToPAS II was sent to us by the developer authors of the original index. Subjects were recruited from dermatology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and rheumatology outpatient clinics. All patients' demographic parameters and ToPAS II questionnaire results were recorded. After patients completed the questionnaire they were assessed by a rheumatologist according to a standard protocol which includes a complete history, detailed physical examination, laboratory tests and CASPAR criteria. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) assessed to obtain sensitivity and specificity of Turkish version of ToPAS II questionnaire. Results One hundred and fifty subjects were recruited in the study. The mean age of subjects was 41.07 years (SD 12.59) and the 58% of subjects were female. There were 46 subjects from psoriasis group, 43 subjects from psoriatic arthritis (PsA) group, 41 subjects from physical medicine and rehabilitation group and 20 subjects from rheumatology (non-PsA) group. The area under the ROC curve was 0.99 which means as excellent predictor and optimum cut-off threshold to discriminate patients diagnosed with PsA was 8 according to this ROC curve analysis. The overall sensitivity and specificity based on cut-off threshold of 8, were 95.8 and 98%, respectively. Conclusion The Turkish version of ToPAS II has high sensitivity and specificity. It is simple, not time consuming and useful tool to screen for PsA in both patients with and without psoriasisPublication Open Access The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2020) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Duruoz, Mehmet Tuncay; Toprak, Canan Sanal; Ulutatar, Firat; Suhaimi, Anwar; Agirbasli, MehmetObjective: The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a Turkish version of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and angina. Methods: The SAQ was translated from English to Turkish using the back-translation method. It contains 19 questions scored from 1 to either 5 or 6 in 5 domains (physical limitation, angina stability, angina frequency, disease perception, and treatment satisfaction). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate internal consistency. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the construct validity. Convergent validity was examined using correlations between the SAQ and the MacNew Heart Disease Health-related Quality of Life Questionnaire (MacNew) and the Nottingham Health Profile. Divergent validity was evaluated using correlations between the SAQ and age, body mass index (BMI), gender, and the marital status of patients. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Sixty-seven patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the study patients was 58.7 years (SD: 10.2). Cronbach's alpha scores of the SAQ, ranging in value from 0.715 to 0.910, demonstrated that this scale is reliable. All of the SAQ scales had a significant correlation with all of the MacNew scales, which indicated that the scale has convergent validity. Insignificant correlations with age, BMI, gender, and marital status illustrated the good divergent validity of the scale. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SAQ is a valid and reliable instrument. It is a useful and practical tool to evaluate patients with angina and CHD.Publication Metadata only Duruoz Hand Index: Is it valid and reliable in children with unilateral cerebral palsy?(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2019) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; Sanal-Top, Canan; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim; Sacaklidir, Rekib; Duruoz, Mehmet TuncayPurpose: To investigate the validity and reliability of the Duruoz Hand Index (DHI) in patients with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Assessments of patients (n = 23) were performed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), the grip and pinch strength tests, and DHI. Following the data collection, retest of DHI was administered telephonically within a 2-week period. Results: Test-retest reliability and internal consistency of DHI were found to be excellent with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.93 and an intraclass correlation coefficient value of 0.94. The correlation between the DHI and MACS was detected significantly high (r = 0.840, p = < 0.010). The DHI also correlated with grip and pinch strength in the affected side (r = -0.459, p = r = -0.509, p = < 0.050). Conclusions: DHI is a valid and reliable questionnaire for patients with unilateral CP.Publication Open Access The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale 2-Short Form (AIMS2-SF) for rheumatoid arthritis(2023-04-01) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; ÖZ, NURAN; DURUÖZ, MEHMET TUNCAY; ŞANAL TOPRAK C., Unal-Ulutatar Ç., Duruöz E., ÖZ N., DURUÖZ M. T.The objective of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale 2-Short Form (AIMS2-SF). Subjects fulfilling the ACR 2010 classification criteria for RA were enrolled into the study. Scale reliability was investigated using test–retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient—ICC) and internal consistency approaches (Cronbach’s α). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients evaluated relationships between quantitative parameters and validity. Construct validity was assessed by correlating AIMS2-SF with clinical parameters and functional parameters including, Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Duruöz Hand Index (DHI). One hundred and sixteen patients (105 females and 11 males) were recruited. The mean age ± standard deviation (SD) was 52.45 ± 11.48 years. Cronbach’s α was 0.88 and the ICC was 0.91. There were significant correlations (rho and p values) with parameters directly related to health-related quality of life (HRQoL); NHP subscales (energy levels: 0.54, pain: 0.62, emotional reaction: 0.50, sleep 0.44, social interaction: 0.51, physical activity: 0.61; p < 0.0005), HAQ (0.60, p < 0.0005), BDI (0.63, p < 0.001) and DHI (0.63, p < 0.0005). Poor or non-significant correlations were found for parameters not directly related to QoL, such as age (0.07, p = 0.45) and disease duration (0.12, p = 0.21); however, disease activity (0.43, p < 0.0005) and NRS pain (0.46, p < 0.0005) were correlated with AIMS2-SF as moderate. The Turkish AIMS2-SF version is a reliable and valid tool that may be used to evaluate QoL for RA. The scale can be easily used in daily practice.Publication Metadata only The validity and reliability of turkish version of the jenkinssleep scale in rheumatoid arthritis(2015-09-29) ŞANAL TOPRAK, CANAN; GÜNDÜZ, OSMAN HAKAN; DURUÖZ, MEHMET TUNCAY; DURUÖZ M.
