Translation and validation of the Pancreatic Cancer Disease Impact score for Chinese patients with pancreatic cancer: A methodological and cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to establish and validate the Chinese version of the Pancreatic Cancer Disease Impact (C-PACADI) score for Chinese patients with pancreatic cancer (PC).

Methods

This was a methodological and cross-sectional study. We established the C-PACADI score following Beaton's translation guidelines and then included 209 patients with PC to evaluate C-PACADI's reliability and validity.

Results

The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the C-PACADI score was 0.822. The correlation coefficient between "skin itchiness" score and the total score was 0.224, while the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.515 to 0.688 (P ​< ​0.001) for all the other items. The item content validity index and the scale content validity index, evaluated by eight experts were 0.875 a
