Validation of the German version of the subarachnoid haemorrhage outcome tool (SAHOT).

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
Objective: The subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) outcome tool (SAHOT) is the first SAH-specific patient reported outcome measure, and was developed in the UK. We aimed to validate the SAHOT outside the UK, and therefore endeavored to adapt the SAHOT into German and to test its psychometric properties. Methods: We adapted and pilot tested the German version. We applied the SAHOT, Quality of Life after Brain Injury, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and EuroQol questionnaires in a cohort of 89 patients with spontaneous SAH after discharge. We assessed internal consistency by Cronbach's α, test-retest reliability by intraclass correlation, and validity by Pearson correlations with established measures. Sensitivity to change was evaluated following neurorehabilitation by effect sizes. Results: The translation of SAHOT resulted in a German version that is semantically and conceptually equivalent to the English version. Internal consistency was good regarding the physical domain (α = 0.83) and excellent for the other domains (α = 0.92-0.93). Test-retest reliability indicated a high level of stability with an intraclass correlation of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.83-0.86). All domains correlated moderately or strongly with established measures ( Conclusion: The SAHOT can be adapted to other health care systems and societies than the UK. The German version of the SAHOT is a reliable and valid instrument, and can be used in future clinical studies and individual assessment after spontaneous SAH.
