Validación y adaptación transcultural de la escala Pedi-IKDC para la evaluación funcional de niños llevados a cirugía de rodilla / Transcultural validation and adaptation of the Pedi-IKDC scale for the functional assessment of children that undergo knee surgery

Introducción: En las últimas décadas la práctica deportiva en los niños ha incrementado, presentándose así mayores lesiones osteomusculares. No existen escalas validadas al español para la evaluación funcional de la rodilla en niños. Se realizó la validación y adaptación transcultural de la escala Pedi-IKDC al español, usada para este fin. Metodología: Se aplicó la escala a 50 pacientes operados por lesiones traumáticas de la rodilla entre el 2016 y el 2021, se realizó el proceso de validación, previa prueba piloto, adaptación transcultural de palabras al español, traducción-retraducción, y análisis estadístico, determinación de consistencia interna del instrumento, correlación intraclase, test-retest y evaluación de dispersión de los datos. Resultados: La consistencia interna del instrumento evaluado es buena según la escala de Gregory, con un alfa de Cronbach de 0,82; la correlación intraclase se consideró sustancial (0,624) y al momento de realizar la correlación test-retest se encontró un coeficiente de 0,91. En el gráfico de Bland-Altman se evidenció una baja dispersión entre los datos. Conclusión: La escala Pedi-IKDC puede ser una herramienta útil para evaluar la funcionalidad en niños que han sido llevados a cirugía de rodilla; se considera válida, con una adecuada confiabilidad y con la ventaja adicional de ser de fácil aplicación.(AU)

Introduction: In the last decades sports practice in children has increased, thus increasing the number of musculoskeletal injuries. There are no validated scales in Spanish for the functional evaluation of knee aspects in children. The validation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Pedi-IKDC scale to Spanish, used for this purpose, was carried out. Methodology: The scale was applied to 50 patients that suffered traumatic knee injuries between 2016 and 2021 and underwent surgical interventions. The validation process of the scale was carried out after a pilot test, cross-cultural adaptation of words into Spanish, translation-retranslation, statistical, determination of internal consistency of the instrument, intraclass correlation, test-retest and evaluation of data dispersion. Results: The internal consistency of the evaluated instrument is good according to the Gregory scale with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82 The intraclass correlation was considered substantial (0.624) and the test-retest correlation, showed a coefficient of 0.91. The Bland-Altman graph showed a low dispersion among the data. Conclusion: The Pedi-IKDC scale can be a useful tool to assess functionality in children who have undergone knee surgery, it is considered valid, with adequate reliability and with the advantage of easy application.(AU)
