EFAS Score – Validation of Danish Version by the Score Committee of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS)
(2024) In Foot and Ankle Surgery- Abstract
Background: The Score Committee of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) developed, validated, and published the EFAS Score in 13 languages. Currently, the Danish version completed data acquisition and underwent further validation. Methods: The data were collected pre-operatively and post-operatively at a minimum follow-up of 3 months and mean follow-up of 6 months. Item reduction, scale exploration, confirmatory analyses and responsiveness were executed using classical test theory and item response theory. Results: The internal consistency was confirmed in the Danish version (Cronbach's Alpha 0.88). The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) was 0.31 and is similar to other language versions. Between baseline and follow-up, 77.2% of... (More)

Results: The internal consistency was confirmed in the Danish version (Cronbach's Alpha 0.88). The Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) was 0.31 and is similar to other language versions. Between baseline and follow-up, 77.2% of patients showed an improvement on their EFAS score, with adequate responsiveness (effect size 1.05). Conclusions: The Danish EFAS Score version was successfully validated in patients with a wide variety of foot and ankle pathologies. All score versions are freely available at www.efas.net.
