Abstract

Childhood disabilities determine a range of immediate and long-term economic costs that have important implications for the well-being of the child, the family and the society. The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) measures capability and performance in children aged between 6 months and 7.5 years. It contains three scales: Functional Skills Scales (FSS), Caregiver Assistance Scale (CAS) and Modifications Scale (MS). The present study evaluated the measurement properties of the Italian version of the PEDI (PEDI-I) in patients with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Reliability study. The original PEDI was translated - including a cross-cultural adaptation - into Italian. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated. Fifty-eight children with CP were recruited. According to inter-interviewer reproducibility, the FSS domain revealed intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values ranging between 0.94 and 1.00. CAS domain revealed ICC values ranging between 0.94 and 1.00. The SEM values ranged between 3.25 (SDD=8.98) for SF and 5.24 for SC (SDD=14.5). According to intra-interviewer reproducibility, the FSS domain revealed ICC values ranging between 0.99 and 1.00. CAS domain revealed ICC values rangin...Continue Reading
