Objective: To validate the Monitoring Efficacy of NBD Treatment On Response (MENTOR) tool in individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) or spina bifida, suffering from neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) in a rehabilitation center in Japan. Methods: First, the MENTOR tool was translated from English to Japanese using a validated translation process. Second, the MENTOR tool was validated in a rehabilitation clinic in Japan. Participants completed the MENTOR tool prior to a consultation with an expert physician. According to the results of the tool, each participant was allocated to one of three categories regarding change in treatment: \u201cadequately treated,\u201d \u201cfurther discussion,\u201d and \u201crecommended change.\u201d The results of the MENTOR tool were compared with the treatment decision made by an expert physician, who was blinded to the results of the MENTOR tool. Results: A total of 60 participants completed the MENTOR tool. There was an acceptable concordance between individuals allocated as respectively, being adequately treated (100%) and recommended change in treatment (61%) and the physicians\u2019 decision on treatment. The concordance was lower for individuals allocated as requiring further discussion (48%). Conclusions: In this study the MENTOR tool was successfully validated in a Japanese rehab setting. The tool will help identify individuals with SCI that need further treatment of their NBD symptoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10050934","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]],"date-time":"2021-03-01T01:26:33Z","timestamp":1614561993000},"page":"934","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Validation of the Monitoring Efficacy of Neurogenic Bowel Treatment on Response (MENTOR) Tool in a Japanese Rehabilitation Setting"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3142-9363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masashi","family":"Nomi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hyogo Prefectural Central Rehabilitation Hospital, Hyogo 651-2181, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Sengoku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Hyogo Prefectural Central Rehabilitation Hospital, Hyogo 651-2181, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaus","family":"Krogh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatology and Gastroenterology, Aarhus University Hospital, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anton","family":"Emmanuel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GI Physiology Unit, University College Hospital, London NW1 2BU, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Albert Bohn","family":"Christiansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Affairs, Coloplast A\/S, 2970 Humlebaek, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1114","article-title":"Chronic gastrointestinal problems in spinal cord injury patients: A prospective analysis","volume":"85","author":"Stone","year":"1990","journal-title":"Am.
