Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to validate a Turkish version of the Composite Autonomic Symptom Score 31 (T-COMPASS 31) for assessing autonomic dysfunction.
Patients and methods: The COMPASS 31 questionnaire was translated into Turkish following a rigorous protocol. Forty-five patients with autonomic dysfunction symptoms related to their primary disease and 45 healthy controls matched for age and sex participated in the study. All participants completed the T-COMPASS 31 twice, with a six-week interval between administrations.
Results: The T-COMPASS 31 demonstrated strong test-retest reliability, with scores remaining consistent upon retesting. Internal consistency analysis yielded high scores, indicating the questionnaire's effectiveness in accurately measuring autonomic dysfunction. Patients with autonomic dysfunction had significantly higher T-COMPASS 31 scores compared to healthy controls, thus supporting the validity of the T-COMPASS 31 as a tool for detecting this condition.
Conclusion: This study successfully validated the T-COMPASS 31, establishing it as a reliable and accurate method for assessing autonomic dysfunction in Turkish-speaking populations.
期刊介绍:
Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
