Brief Summary

The kappa score of the SBM-K individual items and ICC of SBM-K total score were .76–.83 (good–very good) and .98 (.95-.99), respectively. The correlation between the SBM-K total score and individual items was notable (r=.78-.98). Cronbach’s alpha, SEM, and SRD of SBM-K were .98, .59, and 1.64, respectively. The clinical validity of SBM-K was correlated with mSBS (r =.88) and KSCIM-III (r=.65-.89). SBM-K accounted for 37%–72% of the variance in predicting KSCIM-III.
