Objectives:
Our work aimed to translate Ditrovie scale into standard Arabic and to verify its validity and reliability in the Tunisian population.
Materials:
The translation-retro-translation method was the chosen translation method. The committee of experts analyzed these versions and elaborated a pre-final version The Arabic version obtained was conducted on a sample of 100 patients with idiopathic overactive bladder. The reliability of the scale was verified by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient.
Results:
The feasibility and acceptability of the scale was good. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.86. The reproducibility of our scale as well as of each domain were very good (intraclass correlation coefficient>0.9) with a mean of the differences centered and homogeneous in the Bland and Altman graph.
Conclusion:
The standard Arabic version of the Ditrovie scale is a reliable instrument with satisfactory psychometric properties allowing evaluation of quality of life of patients with idiopathic overactive bladder.
Level Of Evidence:
B.

Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks...

A set of data measured using the ratio scale takes care of the ratio problem and provides complete information. Ratio scale data are like interval scale data, except they have a zero point and ratios can be calculated....
01:19Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
00:55Interval Level of Measurement
Data measured using the interval scale are similar to ordinal level data because they have a definite arrangement. However, in the interval level of measurement, the differences between data values are meaningful even though the data does not have a starting point.
Temperature is measured using the interval scale. It is measurable data, and the difference between...
