The Arabic Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (Arabic-COPM) in Pediatric Rehabilitation: Quantitative Reliability Study.
Article in JMIR pediatrics and parenting, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) has achieved global implementation across 35 countries in more than 20 language versions. However, its psychometric properties for children with physical disabilities remain unverified.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the interrater and test-retest reliability of the Arabic version of the COPM (Arabic-COPM) in this pediatric population.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of parents of children with physical disabilities recruited from multi-rehabilitation centers. For the interrater reliability assessment, 100 parents completed the Arabic-COPM through independent interviews with 2 raters. A subsample of 30 (30%) parents repeated the assessment after a 14-day interval for the test-retest reliability analysis, in which they identified their children's 5 most significant daily activity problems and rated the performance and satisfaction levels for each problem using standardized 10-point scales.
resultsReliability analyses demonstrated excellent psychometric properties. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for interrater reliability were 0.84 (performance) and 0.80 (satisfaction), while test-retest reliability coefficients were 0.83 and 0.91, respectively. Interrater agreement analysis revealed 73% concordance in problem prioritization between independent assessors. Bland-Altman plots indicated narrow limits of agreement for both performance (-1.69 to 1.60) and satisfaction scores (-1.03 to 0.98). Cohen κ analysis for problem categorization demonstrated slight-to-fair interrater agreement and slight-to-moderate test-retest agreement across COPM domains. Content analysis identified a predominant concern with daily activities (82%-85% of problems), particularly mobility functions, followed by dressing and eating subcategories.
conclusionsThe Arabic-COPM demonstrated excellent reliability metrics for both interrater consistency and temporal stability when administered to parents of children with physical disabilities. These robust measurement properties support its application as a validated instrument for implementing family-centered rehabilitation approaches in Arabic-speaking clinical contexts.
