Repeatability and validity of the Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Key result
Rose angina questionnaire shows moderate repeatability and links to thicker carotid walls and MI.
- kappa 0.36 (white men), 0.30 (white women), 0.23 (black men), 0.22 (black women)
- n=16,000
Why the study?
The repeatability and validity of the Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris in a large, diverse population were assessed to support its use in epidemiological studies.
Is the Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris repeatable and valid in a population-based cohort?

Implication
Moderate repeatability cautions against routine clinical use; leaves open need for refined angina tools in research.

Structured PICO
Is the Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris repeatable and valid in a population-based cohort?
P
Population
Nearly 16,000 black and white men and women participating in a population study of cardiovascular disease in four communities, assessed at yearly intervals.
E
Exposure
Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris administered at yearly intervals
O
Outcome
Repeatability (kappa statistics for agreement of positive determinations taken 1 year apart) and validity (association with risk factors, prevalent heart disease, medication use, and carotid artery wall thickness)patient reported
Main Result
Effect estimate: kappa 0.36 (white men), 0.30 (white women), 0.23 (black men), 0.22 (black women)
The Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris demonstrates moderate repeatability and validity, supporting its continued use in epidemiological studies.
Cite This Study
Sorlie et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Angina pectoris (n=16,000). Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris was evaluated on Repeatability (agreement of positive Rose AP determinations taken 1 year apart) (kappa 0.36 (white men), 0.30 (white women), 0.23 (black men), 0.22 (black women)). The Rose questionnaire for angina pectoris demonstrated moderate repeatability (kappa 0.22-0.36) and was validly associated with thicker carotid artery walls, heart attack, and risk factors.
