Article Synopsis
- The study explored the reliability and validity of the PedsQL™ Family Impact Module (PedsQL FIM) specifically for families with children affected by Barth syndrome (BTHS).
- It involved 72 parents, comparing responses from those with children diagnosed with BTHS to parents with unaffected children, using statistical methods to assess the data gathered.
- The results indicated that while the PedsQL FIM showed good overall reliability and distinct differences in family impact scores between the two groups, further research with larger groups is necessary to fully validate its effectiveness across different pediatric rare diseases.
Purpose: Barth syndrome is an X-linked rare disorder that typically affects only males. This study investigates 1) agreement between child self-reports and parent proxy-reports of HRQoL in boys with Barth syndrome and 2) relationship between parental HRQoL and parent proxy-reports of HRQoL for the child.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight boys with Barth syndrome and their parents participated in this study.
Objective: To demonstrate the clinical application of the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) using Rasch analysis.
Methods: A total of 276 patients with neurological disorders were assessed with the K-MBI in outpatient clinics. The Rasch partial-credit model was used to generate a keyform based on investigating the psychometric properties of the K-MBI, including dimensionality, precision (person strata and reliability), and hierarchical item difficulty.
Purpose: To create a crosswalk between the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor items and the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI).
Method: Korean community-dwelling adult patients (n = 276) completed the FIM and K-MBI on the same day in outpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We used a single group design with the Rasch common person equating and conducted a factor analysis of the co-calibrated item pool using the two measures.
PURPOSE. We conducted a systematic review examining the extent to which pediatric intervention research recently published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy reflects occupational therapy's holistic occupation-based tenets. METHOD.

Methods: A total of 63 boys with DMD and their parents completed the pediatric quality of life inventory version 4.0 child self-report and parent proxy-report of HRQoL, respectively.
