Why the study?

The study was conducted to examine the measurement properties of the Arabic version of the Duke Activity Status Index in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Does the Arabic version of the DASI provide reliable and valid measurements of functional capacity compared to exercise stress testing in Arab patients with cardiovascular disease?

Population

100 Arab patients with CVD

Comparison

Arabic version of the DASI vs exercise stress test

Design

Overview

Arabic DASI shows promise for functional assessment in Arab CVD patients; leaves open routine adoption pending larger confirmatory studies.

Structured PICO

Does the Arabic version of the DASI provide reliable and valid measurements of functional capacity compared to exercise stress testing in Arab patients with cardiovascular disease?

P
Population
100 Arab patients with cardiovascular disease, mean age 54.98, 86% male.
I
Intervention
Arabic version of the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI)
C
Comparator
Exercise stress test (EST)
O
Outcome
Measurement properties including internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity (correlation with EST-derived MET and peak VO2)patient reported

The Arabic version of the DASI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing functional capacity in Arabic-speaking patients with cardiovascular disease.
