ABSTRACT
Background:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the Korean Brief Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Questionnaire through testing the reliability and validity of it.Methods:
Questionnaire consisted of items on medical, functional, mental, socioeconomic status and lifestyle was administered as test-retest on 78 elderly outpatients at 6 university hospitals in Seoul, Korea. Weighted kappa value, kappa value, Pearson correlation coefficients and overall percent agreement were calculated to measure reliability. Validity coefficient was estimated by using reliability coefficient.Results:
Reliability coefficients and validity coefficients were higher than 0.50 (fair or good) for 28 items (87.5%) among 32. For test- retest reliability, median was 1.00 (range, 0.87-1.00) for overall percent agreement, 0.66 (range, 0.27~1.00) for kappa value, and 0.83 (range, 0.65~1.00) for Pearson's correlation coefficients. Differences of reliability and validity were identified by gender for 19 items (59.4%), and by age group for 12 items (37.5%).Conclusion:
The Korean Brief Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment Questionnaire appears to be a reliable and valid screening tool. After additional study is performed, this instrument can be used as a useful tool for comprehensive outpatient geriatric assessment.
