OBJECTIVE: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Arabic version of the Neck OutcOme Score (NOOS-Ar) and study its psychometric properties. METHODS: A sample of 146 subjects with chronic neck pain filled in the NOOS-Ar questionnaire to determine the Cronbach\u2019s alpha (\u03b1) for internal consistency, test-retest reliability by intraclass correlation coefficients(2,1) [ICC(2,1)], inter-item correlation, measurement error by coefficient of variance and minimal detectable change, ceiling and floor effects, convergent construct validity with visual analog scale (VAS) by Spearman\u2019s rank correlation coefficient (\u03c1) and factor analysis to calculate and determine its psychometric properties. RESULTS: Excellent internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1&gt; 0.9) and test-retest reliability [ICC(2,1)&gt; 0.9] were observed in NOOS-Ar. None of the five subscales of the NOOS-Ar showed a floor or ceiling effect. The coefficient of variance was generally high, but the minimal detectable change was within the acceptable range (&lt; 30%). The \u2018everyday activity and pain\u2019 and \u2018symptoms\u2019 subscales of the NOOS-Ar, showed a moderate correlation with VAS. CONCLUSION: The NOOS-Ar is highly reliable and has a moderate to good degree of convergent construct validity with VAS with no floor or ceiling effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/bmr-191658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,13]],"date-time":"2020-11-13T10:15:29Z","timestamp":1605262529000},"page":"121-130","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cross-cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Neck OutcOme Score (NOOS-Ar) among the Saudi Arabian populace"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Mazen","family":"Alqahtani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"783","DOI":"10.1016\/j.berh.2011.01.019","article-title":"The epidemiology of neck pain","volume":"24","author":"Hoy","year":"2010","journal-title":"Best Pract Res Clin Rheumatol"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"834","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-004-0864-4","article-title":"The prevalence of neck pain in the world population: a systematic critical review of the literature","volume":"15","author":"Fejer","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur spine J"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"509","DOI":"10.12965\/jer.1836220.110","article-title":"Neck pain and low back pain in relation to functional disability in different sport activities","volume":"14","author":"Farahbakhsh","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Exerc Rehabil"},{"issue":"6","key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1146","DOI":"10.31616\/asj.2018.12.6.1146","article-title":"Prevalence of neck pain among athletes: a systematic review","volume":"12","author":"Noormohammadpour","year":"2018","journal-title":"Asian Spine J"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmpt.2013.05.012","article-title":"Relationship of back and neck pain with quality of life in the croatian general population","volume":"36","author":"Pedisic","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Manipulative Physiol Ther"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"796","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-017-5432-9","article-title":"The global spine care initiative: a summary of the global burden of low back and neck pain studies","volume":"27","author":"Hurwitz","year":"2018","journal-title":"Eur Spine J"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1309","DOI":"10.1136\/annrheumdis-2013-204431","article-title":"The global burden of neck pain: estimates from the global burden of disease 2010 study","volume":"73","author":"Hoy","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"554","DOI":"10.7507\/1002-1892.201801021","article-title":"Responsiveness of Chinese version of neck outcome score in subjects with neck pain","volume":"32","author":"Li","year":"2018","journal-title":"Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese J Reparative Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1707","DOI":"10.3906\/sag-1907-87","article-title":"Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the turkish version of the Neck OutcOme Score","volume":"49","author":"Candeniz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Turkish J Med Sci"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"844","DOI":"10.2340\/16501977-2013","article-title":"Development of a patient-reported outcome: the Neck OutcOme Score (NOOS) \u2013 content and construct validity","volume":"47","author":"Juul","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Rehabil Med"},{"issue":"6","key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0217987","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0217987","article-title":"Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties\u2019 evaluation of the modern standard Arabic version of Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) in professional athletes","volume":"14","author":"Korakakis","year":"2019","journal-title":"PLOS ONE"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-191658_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3186","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-200012150-00014","article-title":"Guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation of self-report measures","volume":"25","author":"Beaton","year":"2000","journal-title":"Spine.
