Adaptation and validation of the Greek version of the Speech Pathology-Specific Questionnaire for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (SMS).
The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate the Speech Pathology-Specific Questionnaire for Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (SMS) into the Greek language. The study sample consisted of 124 people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and 50 healthy controls (HCs). All PwMS underwent cognitive as...

The study sample consisted of 124 people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and 50 healthy controls (HCs). All PwMS underwent cognitive assessment using the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS). Both PwMS and HCs completed the SMS, the Eating Assessment tool (EAT-10), the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 (SAQOL-39). Significant difference was found between PwMS and HCs for the EAT-10, SAQOL-39, the total SMS, and the SMS subscales. Discriminant validity analyses revealed a statistically significant difference between PwMS and HCs for the total and subscales SMS. Convergent validity analyses between the total SMS and the SMS subscales, and scores on the BICAMS, EAT-10, SAQOL-39, and VHI in PwMS were significantly correlated, with exception of the SMS Speech/Voice with the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and the Greek Verbal Learning Test-II (GVLT-II). Scores on the EAT-10, SAQOL-39, and VHI in PwMS were also correlated with the total SMS and the SMS subscales in PwMS, HCs, and the total sample. Construct validity analyses revealed that the total SMS and the SMS subscales were significantly correlated with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and years of education, while no associations were found with regards to age, MS subtype (relapsing-remitting MS [RRMS] vs progressive MS [PMS]), disease duration, or sex. The internal consistency of all items was excellent in PwMS and the total sample (Cronbach's alpha was >0.7 after deletion of one item), with the exception of two items, which still fell within the acceptable range (>0.6) for PwMS and the total sample. The Greek version of the SMS is a reliable and valid patient-reported outcome measure to assess speech-language and swallowing pathology related symptoms in PwMS, and can be used for research and clinical purposes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
