Abstract

Purpose

To investigate the psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the Core Outcome Measures Index-Neck (COMI-Neck) in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery.

Methods

A total of 177 patients undergoing cervical spine surgery for spinal disorders from April to December 2017 were enrolled. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) included EuroQOL, Neck Disability Index, and treatment satisfaction. To address whether the questionnaire's scores relate to other outcomes based on a predefined hypothesis, the correlations between the COMI-Neck and the other PROs were measured (Spearman's rank correlation coefficients). The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of the COMI summary score was calculated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with a 7-point Likert scale of satisfaction with the treatment results. To assess reproducibility, another group of 59 volunteers with chronic neck pain were asked to reply to the COMI-Neck twice with an interval of 7–14 days.

Results

The COMI summary score showed no floor or ceiling effects preoperatively or postoperatively. Each of the COMI domains and the COMI summary score correlated to the hypothesized extent with the scores of the reference questionnaires (ρ = 0.40–0.79). According to the ROC curve with satisfaction (including "very satisfied" and "satisfied"), the area under the curve and MCID of the COMI summary score were 0.78 and 2.1. The intraclass correlation coefficient and the minimum detectable change (MDC 95%) of the COMI summary score were 0.97 and 0.77.

Conclusion

The Japanese version of the COMI-Neck is valid and reliable for Japanese-speaking patients with cervical spinal disorders.
