Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability of ASIA2000 scale.MethodsTwenty-five hospitalized spinal cord injury volunteers were chosen according to the selective criteria. The items were retested by the same examiner one week later to determine the scale's test-retest reliability. Another doctor did the same work 24 h later to determine the scale's inter-rater reliability.ResultsThe Pearson correlation coefficients of the pin prick score, light touch score and motor score of the test-retest reliability were all above 0.90 (P<0.05), and the Kappa values of the ASIS impairment scale (AIS) and completeness of the injury were 0.787 and 0.756 (P<0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficients of the pin prick score, light touch score and motor score of the inter-rater reliability were all above 0.85 (P<0.05), and the Kappa values of the AIS and completeness of the injury were 0.802 and 0.764 (P<0.05).ConclusionThe ASIA2000 scale has good test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability.
