Validation of the Korean Version of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool-10 (K-PEDI-EAT-10) with Correlation to Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This cross-sectional pilot study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Korean version of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool-10 (K-Pedi-EAT-10).

Methods

To translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Korean version of the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool-10 (K-Pedi-EAT-10).

Results

The K-Pedi-EAT-10 demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.956) and strong test-retest reliability (ICC=0.988; 95% CI, 0.971-0.995). Content validity indices were high (I-CVI>0.80 for all items; S-CVI/Ave=0.92 for relevance, 0.88 for clarity). Children with dysphagia showed markedly higher K-Pedi-EAT-10 total scores (16.15±9.24) than controls (0.31±0.72; U=9.5, Z=-4.053, p<0.001), confirming discriminative validity. Higher K-Pedi-EAT-10 score
