    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.

    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, Firat
    Objective 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 psoriasis

    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 Tuncay
    Purpose: 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.
