Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of Low Back Pain Core Outcome Measures: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate the quality of cross-cultural adaptations of the six core outcome measures (NRS, SF-12, PROMIS, ODI, RMDQ and VAS) for low back pain (LBP) and assess their psychometric properties.

Methods

Medline, EMBASE, Emcare and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to August 2024. Eligible studies included those assessing core LBP outcome measures in adults with LBP. The COSMIN checklist was used to assess the quality of cross-cultural adaptations and evaluate the psychometric properties. Additionally, the COSMIN risk of bias tool and GRADE approach were employed to assess study quality and provide levels of evidence.

Results

A total of 82 studies were included. Among them, 35 studies examined t
