Psychometric evaluation of Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire: A cross-cultural adaptation of the Malay version in multiethnic adult autologous stem cell transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Mucositis is one of the most feared side effects of cancer treatment. Psychometric analysis of a patient self-assessment score, the oral mucositis daily questionnaire in Malay (OMDQ-Mal) and its construct validity by means of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is lacking.
