Abstract:
Objective To develop an assessment scale of oropharyngeal candidiasis risks in HIV-infected patients,and to test its reliability and validity.Methods The draft of the assessment scale was constructed by the literature analysis method,Delphi consultations and analytic hierarchy process.Totally 231 HIV-infected patients in a tertiary A hospital of Hangzhou were recruited for questionnaire survey in October 2023 to January 2024.Results The scale includes 3 dimensions,including general factors,HIV related factors and oral related factors,12 first-level items and 21 second-level items.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.813;the content validity index was 0.98;the correlation of each dimension was 0.574～0.733(P＜0.05).Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 3 factor models fitted the data well.The critical value(30.5 points)of the scale was determined by ROC curve;the area under the curve was 0.909;the sensitivity of index system was 0.962,and specificity was 0.697.Conclusion The assessment scale of oropharyngeal candidiasis risks in HIV-infected patients has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as an auxiliary tool for effective identification and prediction of oropharyngeal candidiasis risk.
