Cross-cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Arabic Version of the Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation

A new research article, curated by Dr. Waleed Albishi, Dr. Musab Alageel, Dr. Abdulrahman Alsharidah, Dr. Abdulaziz Bin Dakhil, Dr. Faisal Alsaif, Dr. Hisham Abdulaziz Alsanawi, and Dr. Abdulrahman Alaseem and titled “Cross-cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Arabic Version of the Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation”, has been published.

Objectives

The current study aims to translate and culturally adapt the Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation (PREE) into Arabic while also investigating its reliability and validity.

Methods

This questionnaire was translated following a clear and user-friendly guideline protocol. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the reliability and internal consistency of the items of PREE. Additionally, the constructive validity of PREE was evaluated against the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF 36) and the Shoulder and Hand questionnaire.

Results

A total of 38 participants were included in this study, of which 21 participants were re-evaluated for reliability testing. Cronbach’s alpha of the total score of Arabic PREE is 0.955 which indicates that the scale has a high level of internal consistency. There is a good correlation between PREE and with DASH scores. The correlation between total AR PREE, function sub-AR PREE, and pain subscale AR PREE with DASH work sub-parameter r (0.527) with p-value (<0.05) indicates a significant correlation. Additionally, the correlation was assessed with another score SF 36 and the results were as follows. A moderate correlation between total PREE with physical health, physical function, and pain sub-scale of SF36, with coefficient interval (r) 0.37, 0.38, and 0.46 subsequently.

Conclusions

The PREE- AR is s a comprehensible, valid, and reliable method to assess the functionality and pain of any patient with elbow pathology. Therefore, we believe that the PREE-AR questionnaire can be used by clinicians, researchers, and patients to report the pain and functionality of the elbow.

Introduction The study's goal is to determine the relationship between surgically treated acetabular fractures, associated lesions, and the need for pelvic stabilisation before definitive fixation. Retrospective review of patients with acetabular fractures treated surgically at the Mexican Red Cross Central Hospital between August 2013 and January 2016. Descriptive statistical analysis in terms of frequency, proportions, and X2 were performed to determine qualitative dependency among variables, with a P value of 0.05 used to determine significance.32 patients were sampled, 26 of whom were males with an average age of 36.3 years. 75% were caused by an accident involving a motor vehicle (P=0.0052). Damage control orthopaedics were performed in 68.7% of cases, with a positive relationship between this and subsequent surgical treatment (P=0.0052). Damage control orthopaedics were performed in 68.7% of cases, with a positive relationship between this and subsequent surgical treatment (P

Understanding AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): What You Need to Know

Image
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are serious health concerns that affect millions of people worldwide. They are often misunderstood, and misinformation can contribute to the spread of these infections. In this blog, we will explore the basics of AIDS and STIs, including their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention, and the importance of getting tested and seeking proper medical care. What is AIDS? AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and it is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV attacks the immune system, which is responsible for fighting off infections and diseases. Over time, HIV weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and cancers that the body would normally be able to fight off. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, characterized by severe immune system damage and the presence of certain opportunistic infections or cancers. What are STIs? Sexually transm
