Currently, there is no scale to subjectively assess postoperative oral dysfunction in patients with oral cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Postoperative Oral Dysfunction Scale (POD-10) that we developed. Between September 2019 and August 2021, 62 eligible oral cancer patients (median age, 72 years; 42 men and 20 women) were enrolled in the study. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, which indicates the internal consistency of the scale, was 0.94, and the intraclass correlation coefficient, which indicates reproducibility, was 0.85 (95% confidential interval: 0.40–0.96, p < 0.05). Concurrent validity testing showed a statistically significant correlation between POD-10 and Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) (r = 0.89, p < 0.05). To test discriminant validity, statistically significant differences were found between early-stage cancer (stage I and II) and advanced-stage cancer (stage III and IV) (p < 0.05). Twenty-four points were calculated as the cutoff value for POD-10 using receiver operating characteristic analysis to calculate the cutoff value. The POD-10 was shown to be a clinically reliable and valid scale that can be used to subjectively assess postoperative oral dysfunction in patients with oral cancer and is expected to be used as a simple diagnostic tool. |
