Lo scopo di questo studio era tradurre la scala MROC in lingua italiana, adattarla culturalmente e validarla per una popolazione con protesi d’anca e / o del ginocchio. La MROC valuta il rischio di dimissione di pazienti ortopedici, riducendo così le possibilità di un nuovo ricovero a breve termine.

Multi-disciplinary Rehabilitation Outcome Checklist: Italian validation of an instrument for risk of discharge in patients with total hip and/or knee replacement
Object:
This article describes the translation and cultural adaptation of the Multi-disciplinary Rehabilitation Outcome Checklist Scale in Italian and reports the procedures to test their validity and reliability.
Methods:
The forward and backward translation was conducted by specialized and certified translators, independently from each other. The scale was then reviewed by a group of 20 experts. The process of cultural adaptation and validation took place on a cohort of patients who performed a joint replacement of hip and/or knee surgery in two hospitals of Rome.
Results:
The culturally adapted scale was administered to 114 patients. It results that the interoperator reliability is equal to intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) = 0.977 for hip and ICC = 0.97 for knee. The construct validity and the responsiveness are statistically significant.
Conclusion:
It is a scale capable of assessing the patient in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary manner at the time of hospital discharge, useful for dismissing the patient in the most appropriate timing and with the best clinical and functional conditions.
