Reliability and validity of the Finnish version of the AO spine PROST (patient reported outcome spine trauma).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To translate AO Spine PROST (Patient Reported Outcome Spine Trauma) into Finnish and explore its psychometric properties in a Finnish spine trauma population.

Methods

Patients were enrolled at an academic level-I trauma center. Score distribution, floor and ceiling effects, and missing items were explored for content validity. Internal consistency, concurrent validity, and reproducibility were explored with Cronbach's α, exploratory factor analysis, Spearman correlation tests, and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs).

Results

Translation was performed using established guidelines. A sample of 110 patients was enrolled. Score distribution skewed toward higher values, but no floor and ceiling effects were present. Response rates were excellent for all item
