The European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) score is a recently developed foot and ankle patient-reported outcome measure. It has been developed and partly validated in seven languages. This study's aim was to investigate the measurement properties of the Dutch version of the EFAS score. Subscales of the Dutch EFAS score were evaluated in 547 patients with a variety of foot and ankle diagnoses. Floor and ceiling effect, reliability, and construct validity were assessed. The internal consistency of the EFAS score was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha 0.79-0.94). Repeatability was considered poor, with intraclass correlation coefficients between 0.32 and 0.39. Construct validity was inadequate with confirmation of 67% of the hypothesized correlations. In conclusion, the Dutch version of the EFAS score does not have adequate measurement properties for use in patient with patients with varying foot and ankle problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
