Abstract:
Objective: To translate the English version of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease quality of life scale (CLDQ-NAFLD) into the Chinese version in order to test its reliability and validity. Methods: The English version of the CLDQ-NAFLD was translated according to the cross-cultural research tool debugging and validation guidelines to form the Chinese version of the CLDQ-NAFLD. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 515 NAFLD cases in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou from September 2021 to April 2022 to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale. Results: The Chinese version of the CLDQ-NAFLD contained six domains with a total of thirty-six items (X2/DF=3.105, RMSEA=0.064, TLI=0.905, CFI=0.912, and IFI=0.913). I-CVI, S-CVI/UA, and S-CVI/Ave was 0.83 to 1.00, 0.86 and 0.98, respectively. The 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) was used as the calibration standard, and the correlation validity of the calibration standard was 0.704 (P<0.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total scale and each dimension of the scale was 0.964 and 0.807-0.956, respectively. The test-retest reliability was 0.839. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the CLDQ-NAFLD has good reliability and validity. Thus, it can be used to evaluate the quality of life for NAFLD patients with a Chinese cultural background.
