PG - 391-402 LID - 10.3233/NRE-210064 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The Stroke Impact Scale version 3.0 (SIS 3.0) is a self-reported outcome measure designed to assess quality of life (QoL) following a stroke. Although the psychometric properties of the SIS 3.0 are identified as superior to the generic QoL scales, it has not been translated and tested in Pakistan. OBJECTIVE: To validate the Urdu version of the SIS 3.0 (USIS 3.0) for Pakistan. METHODS: A prospective cohort of 116 patients with mild to moderate stroke reported their recovery using the USIS 3.0. The patients were concurrently assessed on the established tools to assess the validity and were re-evaluated to determine the test-retest reliability, precision, minimal detectable change (MDC), and minimal clinically important difference (MCID). RESULTS: The reliability and internal consistency of USIS were satisfactory except for the emotion domain. The correlations of USIS with the established tools were strong. The discriminant validity was also significant across the levels of the modified Rankin scale (MRS). Only hand function and communication domains exhibited significant floor and ceiling effects, respectively. Regarding weighted K, values ranged from 0.53 to 0.88. CONCLUSIONS: The USIS 3.0 has satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used in clinical and research settings for stroke survivors.
