简要总结
One of the long-term effects of neck dissection applied to patients with head and neck cancer is shoulder dysfunction, which directly affects the quality of life. Patients complain of different degrees of shoulder joint problems following neck dissection . Shoulder syndrome in these patients is characterized by a set of symptoms including shoulder pain, abduction limitation, and scapular winging.The aim of this study is to make the Turkish Neck validity, reliability and cultural adaptation of the "Neck Dissection Impairment Index".
详细描述
In the literature, there are many questionnaires aimed at patients with head and neck cancer, developed both specifically and specifically for this patient group, evaluating the quality of life. Regarding the shoulder problems experienced by these patients, there is only one item in the literature called "The University of Michegan Head and Neck QOL (UMHNQOL) questionnaire" that evaluates shoulder pain. Apart from this, there is no other questionnaire in the literature that may adversely affect the quality of life to neck dissection and question both neck and shoulder problems together. The Neck Dissection Impairment Index evaluates the shoulder-related quality of life in a more comprehensive and more detailed manner according to the UMHNQOL questionnaire. The Neck Dissection Impairment Index evaluates the components of shoulder related quality of life in a wide range after neck dissection. Because the type of age, weight, radiotherapy and neck dissection are the most important variables affecting quality of life, patients in the high-risk group (e.g. young individuals, patients who have received radiotherapy and modified radical neck dissection) evaluated with the Neck Dissection Impairment Questionnaire can benefit from an earlier and more intensive rehabilitation.

结局指标
主要结局
Neck Dissection Impairment Index
时间窗: At baseline
It consists of 10 items. Scoring is done according to the 5-point Likert scale. The patients answer the questions in the index as "1 = Not at all, 2 = A little, 3 = A moderate amount, 4 = Quite a bit, 5 = A lot". In order to standardize the obtained raw score over 100 points, the formula "(raw score-10) / 40\] × 100" is used. This index evaluates the quality of life associated with neck and shoulder problems that occur in the long term after neck dissection \[6\].
次要结局
- Modified Constant-Murley Score(At baseline)
- Short Form-36 Health Survey version-2.0(At baseline)
