Abstract

Background

Chewing is a fundamental motor activity, but there is no specific assessment tool in Italian for paediatric rehabilitation. The Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS) is a performance-based assessment tool that allow to classify chewing performance in childhood.

Objective

To translate, culturally adapt and assess reliability, criterion validity and cross-cultural validity of the KCPS into Italian in a paediatric population.

Methods

Following international guidelines, the KCPS was translated and culturally adapted into Italian. Inter-rater reliability was measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the criterion validity using the Pearson correlation coefficient comparing KCPS score with the Paediatric Screening-Priority Evaluation Dysphagia (PS-PED), and cross-cultural validity was examined across diagnostic groups.

Results

The study included 165 children with a mean age of 6.33 with different health conditions, namely autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy and genetic syndromes. The analysis revealed that KCPS was reliable measure with a ICC 0.93, and a moderate positive linear correlation with the PS-PED (Pearson 0.48) was found. In each diagnostic group, chewing performance disorders were found, highlighting specific characteristics.

Conclusions

Despite limited sample in reliability analysis and the need of exploring the relationship with chewing abilities and severity of diseases, the KCPS was found a reliable and valid tool for determining the level of chewing performance in paediatric population. Now Italian clinicians can use it with more confidence in their clinical practice and research.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
