Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate and assess the reliability and validity of the Mandarin Chinese version of the Reflux Sign Assessment (RSA) among individuals with and without laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD).

Methods: This study was carried out from May 2023 to August 2024. A total of 202 individuals were enrolled in this study, including 106 with LPRD and 96 without. Multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH was performed to diagnose LPRD. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, content validity, clinical, sensitivity, and specificity were analyzed, and the cutoff point was determined.

Results: The internal consistency of the Chinese RSA was high, with Cronbach α coefficients for the subscale scores ranged from 0.707 to 0.822; the values for the total score were 0.812. Test-retest reliability was high for the total score (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.953) and the subscales (ICCs = 0.936, 0.895, 0.923). The patient group had significantly higher total scores, subscale scores, and majority item scores than the control group (P < 0.001). The cutoff point for screening between the two groups was 17.5, with a sensitivity of 94.7% and a specificity of 66.7%.

Conclusions: The Chinese RSA is a valid and reliable tool for identifying individuals with probable LPRD. It has good reliability, validity, and sensitivity in the Mandarin Chinese-speaking population.

中文译本反流征评估的效度与信度。

目的：本研究的目的是验证和评估中文版本的反流体征评估（RSA）在患有和不患有喉咽反流病（LPRD）的个体中的信度和效度。方法：本研究于2023年5月至2024年8月进行。本研究共纳入202人，其中LPRD患者106人，非LPRD患者96人。采用多通道腔内阻抗- ph法诊断LPRD。分析内部一致性、重测信度、内容效度、临床、敏感性、特异性，确定截断点。结果：中文RSA量表的内部一致性较高，子量表得分的Cronbach α系数在0.707 ~ 0.822之间；总得分为0.812。总分（类内相关系数(ICC) = 0.953）和分量表（ICC = 0.936、0.895、0.923）的重测信度较高。患者组的总分、亚量表得分和多数项目得分均显著高于对照组(P结论：中文RSA是一种有效和可靠的工具，可用于识别可能患有LPRD的个体。在普通话人群中具有良好的信度、效度和敏感性。
