Development and validation of the Out-of-Hospital Adherence Questionnaire for Stroke Patients (OHAQ-SP).
Article in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe extent of rehabilitation of stroke patients outside the hospital is contingent upon their dedication to rehabilitative exercises, adherence to a suitable diet, and medication protocols. Therefore, multiple aspects of compliance must be assessed. Questionnaires are indirect measurements that are economical and easy to use. However, questionnaires should meet specific criteria to minimize errors and ensure reprehensibility of the results.
objectiveTo develop a new questionnaire-based assessment tool for out-of-hospital treatment adherence in stroke patients and to evaluate the psychometric properties and feasibility of the questionnaire by conducting preliminary measurements in the stroke population. The questionnaire should have at least one validity measure and one reliability measure.
methodsA preliminary "OHAQ-SP" was developed based on a literature review and two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Between April 1 and July 2022, 308 stroke patients revisited the neurology departments of four Grade A tertiary hospitals in Shanghai using the convenience sampling approach. Various statistical methods, such as item analysis, correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and the internal consistency measure Cronbach's α coefficient, were employed to assess the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.
resultsA total of 290 questionnaires were collected; the Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.936, 0.862, 0.916, and 0.928 for the different sections, and the overall Cronbach's α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.902. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis were CMIN/DF = 2.490, RMR = 0.05, GFI = 0.901, NFI = 0.927, IFI = 0.955, and RMSEA = 0.054. The standardized loading values varied between 0.717 and 0.916. The combined reliabilities of the four dimensions were 0.936, 0.864, 0.917, and 0.929, respectively. The average variance extraction values for the four dimensions are 0.676, 0.614, 0.611, and 0.652, respectively.
conclusionThe OHAQ-SP is a reliable and accurate instrument for evaluating medication use, nutritional status, and behavior throughout the out-of-hospital rehabilitation phase.
