Key result
The self-reported screening questionnaire for Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (SQ-CH) demonstrated good validity with an area under the ROC curve of 0.861, yielding 78.0% sensitivity and 75.8% specificity at a cut-off of 3 positive items.
Cross-Sectional (n=191)
Yes
The SQ-CH is a valid and reliable self-assessment screening tool for detecting Joint Hypermobility Syndrome in a Spanish population.
May support SQ-CH screening in Spanish populations; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
Background and Objectives: To develop a self-assessment screening questionnaire (SQ-CH), with image illustrated criteria to easily identify collagen anomalies and to assist Hypermobility's evaluation in a Spanish sample.

Bulbena et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (n=191). Self-reported screening questionnaire for Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (SQ-CH) vs. Clinical examination (Beighton and Hospital del Mar criteria) was evaluated on Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of SQ-CH compared to Hospital del Mar criteria (AUC 0.861). The self-reported screening questionnaire for Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (SQ-CH) demonstrated good validity with an area under the ROC curve of 0.861, yielding 78.0% sensitivity and 75.8% specificity at a cut-off of 3 positive items.
