Abstract

Background

The Score Committee of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) developed, validated, and published the EFAS Score in 14 languages. Currently, the Mandarin and Cantonese versions completed data acquisition and underwent further validation.

Methods

The data were collected pre-operatively and post-operatively at a minimum follow-up of 3 months and mean follow-up of 6 months. Item reduction, scale exploration, confirmatory analyses and responsiveness were executed using classical test theory and item response theory.

Results

The internal consistency was confirmed in the Mandarin/Cantonese versions (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.83/0.80). The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) was 0.36/0.35 and is similar to other language versions. Between baseline and follow-up, 80 %/84 % of patients showed an improvement on their EFAS score, with good responsiveness (effect size 1.34/1.52).

Conclusions

The Mandarin and Cantonese EFAS Score versions were successfully validated in patients with a wide variety of foot and ankle pathologies. All score versions are freely available at www.efas.net.

EFAS评分-由欧洲足部及踝部协会（EFAS）评分委员会审核普通话及粤语版本

欧洲足踝协会（EFAS）评分委员会开发、验证并发布了14种语言的EFAS评分。目前，普通话和粤语版本已完成数据采集并进行进一步验证。方法术前、术后随访时间最短3个月，平均6个月。运用经典测试理论和项目反应理论进行项目缩减、量表探索、验证性分析和反应性分析。结果国语/粤语版本的内部一致性得到证实（Cronbach’s Alpha值为0.83/0.80）。测量标准误差（SEM）为0.36/0.35，与其他语言版本相似。在基线和随访期间，80% %/84 %的患者的EFAS评分有所改善，反应性良好（效应值1.34/1.52）。结论普通话和粤语版本的EFAS评分在各种足部和踝关节病变患者中都得到了成功的验证。所有的乐谱版本都可以在www.efas.net上免费获得。
