Abstract
Introduction
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most diagnosed arthropathy in dogs. Since the characteristic manifestation of OA is pain, clinical metrology instruments for OA should detect observable outcomes related to OA pain and be validated in the translated form. This study aimed to validate a Danish translated version of Canine Brief Pain Inventory (CBPI) in a cohort of dogs diagnosed with OA.
Methods
The CBPI was translated into Danish. Data of clinically healthy dogs were compared with data of dogs with OA, and the translation was analysed for construct validity and internal consistency. Construct validity was tested with an exploratory factor analysis by principal component analysis, while internal consistency was estimated by Cronbach's α coefficient.
Results and conclusions
The Danish version of CBPI was completed by owners of 72 dogs with OA and 21 owners of clinically heathy dogs. Dogs with OA had significantly higher CBPI scores than healthy dogs, demonstrating the Danish CBPI's discriminant ability. An identified two-factor model accounted for 77.7 % of the total variance. Good internal consistency was identified across the instrument with high Cronbach's α levels: 0.95 for the total CBPI, 0.93 for the first factor (items 1–6) and.0.88 for the second factor (items 7–10).
期刊介绍:
Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research.
The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally.
High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health.
Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
