The FACE-Q craniofacial questionnaire, which includes the paralysis module, was translated. 213 patients with facial palsy completed the German FACE-Q paralysis along with the established FDI and FaCE questionnaires. Regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between the different FACE-Q domains and patient and therapy characteristics. The FACE-Q scales had high internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s alpha all\u2009&gt;\u20090.6). High correlations were found between the FACE-Q and the FDI and FaCE (mean rho\u2009=\u20090.5), as well as within the FACE-Q (mean rho\u2009=\u20090.522). Unifactorial influences were found for all domains except <jats:italic>Breathing<\/jats:italic> (all p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Multivariate independent predictors were found for some FACE-Q domains. Most influential predictors (&gt;\u20098 subdomains): Patients who received physical therapy scored lower in ten subdomains than those who did not (all p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Patients who had surgery scored lower in nine subdomains than patients without surgery (all p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The German version of the FACE-Q Paralysis Module can now be used as a patient-reported outcome instrument in adult patients with facial nerve palsy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-58159-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,31]],"date-time":"2024-03-31T12:01:16Z","timestamp":1711886476000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Translation and validation of the German version of the FACE-Q paralysis module in adult patients with unilateral peripheral facial palsy"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Wieta Elin","family":"Moritz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerd Fabian","family":"Volk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helene","family":"Kreysa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9671-0784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Orlando","family":"Guntinas-Lichius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"58159_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-8721.00190","volume":"11","author":"B Fink","year":"2002","unstructured":"Fink, B. & Penton-Voak, I.
