Psychometric properties were estimated in a sample of primary caregivers of individuals with Parkinson's disease. Reliability testing included internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), test-retest reliability (ICC), the standard error of measurement (SEM) and the minimal detectable change (MDC), also expressed as percentage (MDC%). Validity was estimated by comparing the PDBC -I to the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) and the Short Form 36 (SF-36) (Pearson correlation coefficient).Results: The questionnaire was administered to 65 caregivers, showing internal consistency of 0.934. ICC value was 0.811 (95% CI 0.708-0.880) for test-retest reliability, and the SEM and the MDC (MDC%) were 5.04 and 13.97 (38.21%), respectively. Low to moderate correlation with all other investigated scales (CBI: r=0.693; SF-36 physical score: r=-0.309; SF-36 mental score: r=-0.588; SF36 total score: -0.470) were found.Conclusions: Despite the PDCB-I holds acceptable psychometric properties to be used in clinical settings of Italian-speaking Countries as a measure of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with Parkinson Disease, the caregiver might require the support of a clinician to finalize the compilation of the questionnaire.","PeriodicalId":94143,"journal":{"name":"Minerva medica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142305103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Progression to advanced fibrosis marks the emergence of a significant risk of liver-related negative outcomes. However, only a minority of patients will present at this stage. Since widespread liver biopsy in unfeasible at such high disease prevalence, there was a need to develop noninvasive tests (NITs) that could easily and reliably be applied to patients with MASLD, regardless of clinical setting. The NITs include simple scores, like the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) Index, patented serum tests, like the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis test (ELF™), and imaging-based modalities, like the vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE). Guidelines suggests a stepwise approach that utilizes more than one NIT, with FIB-4 <1.30 being used as a first step to rule out patients that do not need further testing. Subsequent choice of NIT will be influenced by setting, cost, and local availability. While these NITs are accurate, they are not perfect. As such, research is ongoing. A promising avenue is that of omics, a group of technologies that provide concomitant results on a large number of molecules (and other variables). With the advance of artificial intelligence, new NITs may arise from large demographic, biochemical, and radiological data sets.","PeriodicalId":94143,"journal":{"name":"Minerva medica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142305098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
