Abstract:
Objective To translate LARS Score into Chinese and examine the reliability and validity of the LARS Score to predict patient bowel function.Methods A convenience sample of 40 Chinese rectal patients was recruited sequentially from a tertiary first-class hospital in Tianjin.The patients were assessed for bowel function using the LARS Score after anterior resection.Data were collected to conduct reliability tests on test-retest,inter-rater and constant,construction validity.Results The field test demonstrated excellent repeatability with an ICC value of 0.9615 (95%CI 0.9272~0.9796); inter-rater reliability was high with an ICC value of 0.9394 (95%CI 0.8854~0.9680).Content validity was excellent which CVR was 0.90.Constructive validity was good,factor analysis extracted two common factors,which could explain 60.659% of the total variance,and each item on the corresponding factor had satisfactory factor loading quantity (>0.4).Conclusions The Chinese version of LARS Score is easy to use and convenient to understand; the evidence collected in this study has shown good reliability and validity of using the LARS Score in assessing bowel function of Chinese rectal cancer patients.
