Abstract

Aim: The Rosa Angina Questionnaire (RAQ) have been used to standardize the diagnosis of angina pectoris in studies since 1962. It was reported that RAQ performance among different ethnical groups were different and its validity for different cultures must have been questionned. The aim of this study is to evaluate RAQ performance and its comparison with exercise testing results among a heterogenous population who underwent treadmill exercise testing with different indications. Material and Method: The RAQ translated to Turkish was applied to the 304 consecutive patients before treadmill exercise testing. The patients’ demographics and clinical datas were also questionned. An investigator unknowing the RAQ diagnosis interpretted the exercise testing results. Exercise testing results and RAQ diagnoses were compared. Results: RAQ was found positive at 74 patients (% 24,3) and negative at 230 patients (% 75,7). When exercise testing results were accepted as reference, sensitivity of RAQ was found % 46, specifity was %80,6, positive predictive value was % 37,81, negative predictive value was % 85,7 and validity was % 73,8. Weak correlation was found between RAQ results and exercise testing results at Spearman’s correlation analysis (r=0,211, p=0,01). When patients were evaluated considering sex; relation between RAQ and exercise became stronger among men (r=0,336; p=0,01) and eliminated among women. Conclusion: In present study; we showed that the specifity and negative predictive value of RAQ were sufficient, sensitivity and positive predictive value were low when exercise testing is taken as reference method. RAQ can be used at studies on Turkish population as same as Western population; but its validity can be questionned when only women are evaluated.

Özet

Amaç: Rosa Angina Anketi (RAA), 1962’den beri çalışmalarda anjina pektorisin tanısının standardize etmek için kullanılmaktadır. RAA’nın performansının değişik etnik gruplarda farklı olduğu ve kültürler arası geçerliliğin sorgulanması gerektiği bildirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda farklı endikasyonlar ile treadmill efor testi uygulanan heterojen bir popülasyonda RAA performansını değerlendirmeyi ve efor testi sonuçları ile karşılaştırmasını yapmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemiz efor testi laboratuvarına treadmill efor testi istemi ile gönderilen ardışık 304 hastaya efor testinden önce RAA’nın Türkçeye çevrilmiş şekli uygulandı. Ayrıca hastaların demografik ve klinik verileri sorgulandı. RAA tanısından habersiz bir araştırmacı efor testi sonuçlarını yorumladı. Efor testi sonuçları ile RAA tanıları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: RAA 74 (% 24,3) hastada pozitif, 230 (% 75,7) hastada negatif bulundu. Efor testi referans alınarak hesaplandığında RAA’nın duyarlılığı %46,6, özgüllüğü % 80,6, pozitif öngörücü değeri % 37,8, negatif öngörücü değeri % 85,7, geçerliliği % 73,8 bulundu. RAA sonucu ile efor testi sonucu arasında spearmen korelasyon analizinde zayıf derecede bağıntı bulundu (r=0,211; p=0,01). Hastalar cinsiyete göre ayrıldığında RAA ile efor testi arasındaki bağlantı erkeklerde güçlü idi (r=0,336; p=0,01), kadınlarda bağlantı yoktu. Sonuçlar: Çalışmamızda Türk hastalarda efor testi referans yöntem olarak alındığında RAA’nın özgüllüğü ve negatif öngördürücü değerinin yeterli, duyarlılığı ve pozitif öngördürücü değerinin düşük olduğunu gösterdik. Ancak cinsiyete göre incelendiğimizde testin performansının erkeklerde daha iyi olduğunu ve efor testi sonuçları ile bağlantının sadece erkeklerde varolduğunu gözlemledik. RAA Türk toplumu ile ilgili araştırmalarda Batı toplumlarına benzer geçerlilikte kullanılabilir, sadece kadınların değerlendirildiği durumlarda ise geçerlilik sorgulanabilir.
