THE RELIABILITY OF VIETNAMESE VERSION OF MOVEMENT DISORDERS SOCIETY-UNIFIED PARKINSON’S DISEASE RATING SCALE (MDS-UPDRS)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To translate the MDS-UPDRS into Vietnamese and evaluate the reliability of the Vietnamese version of MDS-UPDRS. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. The research process included two phases: (1) translation the MDS-UPDRS and (2) evaluation the reliability of the Vietnamese version MDS-UPDRS by testing Cronbach's alpha coefficient and ICC coefficient. Results: There were 207 patients meeting the study inclusion criteria. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for each part I, II, III, IV of the Vietnamese version of the MDS-UPDRS scale is 0.700, 0.895, 0.922, and 0.871, respectively. Thus, part I of the Vietnamese version of the MDS-UPDRS scale has acceptable internal consistency reliability, and parts II, III, IV have high internal consistency reliability. Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of the MDS-UPDRS has good reliability.
