Reliability and Validity of the Arabic Version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 Questionnaires.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 questionnaires. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 337 subjects were recruited from the Oncology Centre in Bahrain and 239 consented to participation. The European Organization for Research and Treatment-QOL questionnaire and breast cancer-specific module (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23) were used to measure the HRQOL among women with breast cancer. All statistical tests were performed using SPSS Version 20. The reliability of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 questionnaires was examined using Cronbach's alpha test. The construct validity of both questionnaires was tested using the exploratory factor analysis.
resultsExploratory factor analysis results of EORTC QLQ-C30 showed that Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was 0.878 and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity is <0.001. The extracted four-factor model explained 51.52% of the total variance. Relating to EORTC-QLQ-BR23, the KMO value was 0.735 and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity showed a significance of p<0.001 and extracted a three-factor model which explained a total variance of 46.05%. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient results for EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ BR-23 were 0.927and 0.844 respectively which reflects high internal consistency.
conclusionThe EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 questionnaires are feasible and promising instruments to measure the levels of HRQOL among Arabic-speaking women with breast cancer in future studies with some suggested modifications in some of the domains or items.
