Structural Validity, Internal Consistency, and Rater Reliability of the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile: Breaking Ground on a 52,726-Patient, Clinical Data Set.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to extend the assessment of the psychometric properties of the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSImP). Here, we re-examined structural validity and internal consistency using a large clinical-registry data set and formally examined rater reliability in a smaller data set.

Method

This study consists of a retrospective structural validity and internal consistency analysis of MBSImP using a large data set (N = 52,726) drawn from the MBSImP Swallowing Data Registry and a prospective study of the interrater and intrarater reliability of a subset of studies (N = 50) rated by four MBSImP-trained speech-language pathologists. Structural validity was assessed via exploratory factor analysis. Internal consistency was mea
