Summary

The Spanish Simpson-Angus scale effectively assesses neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal syndrome in Colombia. This validated tool is reliable for clinical practice and research, though it may not capture all symptom domains.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal syndrome (EPS) is a common side effect of antipsychotic medications.
  • Accurate assessment tools are crucial for managing EPS.
  • The Simpson-Angus (SA) scale is a widely used instrument for evaluating EPS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the Spanish version of the Simpson-Angus scale for assessing neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal syndrome in a Colombian population.
  • To establish the psychometric properties of the adapted scale.

Main Methods:

  • Translation and cultural adaptation of the Simpson-Angus scale.
  • Pilot testing and factorial analysis for scale structure.
  • Evaluation of validity, reliability (test-retest, inter-rater), and sensitivity to change.

Main Results:

  • Factor analysis confirmed a one-dimensional structure for the Spanish SA scale.
  • Good test-retest and inter-rater reliability were demonstrated.
  • Concurrent validity and sensitivity to change were found to be good, with high correlation scores and accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The Spanish version of the SA scale is a suitable and reliable instrument for assessing neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal syndrome in Colombia.
  • The scale is recommended for both clinical practice and research settings in the region.
  • A potential limitation is the scale's focus primarily on rigidity, potentially overlooking other EPS domains.
