ABSTRACT
Objective (1) To evaluate whether the Nine Items Questionnaire (WOQ-9) for the detection of wearing-off (WO) in Parkinson Disease (PD), by means of its screening ability, is a helpful tool to assist neurologists in diagnosing WO; (2) To determine the sensitivity and the specificity of a free Brazilian Portuguese translation of WOQ-9. Method A sample obtained by convenience included 60 patients. The WOQ-9 was answered by the patients themselves before their routine consultations. The detection of the WO by the WOQ-9 was compared with the neurologist assessment. Statistical significance was 5%. Results The WOQ-9 showed sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 10.3%, positive and negative predictive values of 54.4% and 100% respectively. The identification of WO by the WOQ-9 was congruent in 54.5% of cases with neurological evaluation. Conclusion The WOQ-9 is a convenient screening tool to aid physicians to detect WO in PD patients, and it is a quick and easy self-administered questionnaire. .
RESUMO
Objetivo (1) Verificar se o Questionário de Nove Itens (WOQ-9) para detectar wearing-off (WO) na doença de Parkinson (DP), pela sua capacidade de triagem, seria útil aos neurologistas na identificação de WO; (2) determinar a sensibilidade e especificidade da versão livre em Português Brasileiro do WOQ-9. Método Ao todo 60 indivíduos com DP compuseram uma amostra obtida por conveniência. Os próprios pacientes responderam ao WOQ-9 antes de suas consultas rotineiras. A detecção de WO pelo WOQ-9 foi comparada com a avaliação neurológica. A significância estatística foi 5%. Resultados O WOQ-9 apresentou sensibilidade de 100%, especificidade de 10,3%, valores preditivos positivo e negativo de 54,4% e 100% respectivamente. A identificação de WO pelo WOQ-9 foi congruente em 54,5% dos casos com a avaliação neurológica. Conclusão O WOQ-9 é um método de rastreamento útil para identificar WO em pacientes com DP, e é um questionário de autoavaliação cuja aplicação é fácil e rápida. .
