AB  - Background/Aim. The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale is widely used in clinical practice for assessment of quality of life in patients with nasal obstruction. It has been validated in several countries up to date. The aim of this study was to validate and crossculturally adapt the NOSE scale for Serbian population. Methods. The Serbian version of the NOSE scale (NOSEs) was prepared through forward and backward translation, committee review, and pretesting. Validation process was carried out on 50 patients diagnosed with the nasal septal deviation (the study group) and 50 ear, nose and throat (ENT) patients with other non-rhinological diagnosis (the control group). Results. The NOSE-s instrument demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach α coefficient 0.81). Stability and reliability of the NOSE-s questionnaire were confirmed by test-retest procedure showing no statistically significant difference in obtained responses (Goodman- Kruskal gamma coefficient 0.83). Item and total scores were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group indicating the very good inter-group discrimination (p < 0.001). Inter-item and item-total correlations were similar to the original NOSE instrument. Three months after septoplasty, a mean NOSE-s score in patients was 19.2 ± 12.8. Calculated standardized response mean of 1.7 showed high sensitivity to change. Conclusion. The Serbian version of the NOSE scale is simple, valid and reliable instrument for estimating the nasal obstruction. Therefore, it can be recommended for application in rhinological practice and research in Serbian speaking population.
AB  - Uvod/Cilj. Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) ska-
la se koristi u kliničkoj praksi za procenu kvaliteta života bole-
snika sa nazalnom opstrukcijom. Do sada je validirana u ne-
koliko zemalja. Cilj ove studije je bio da se validira i kultural-
no adaptira NOSE skala za korišćenje u srpskoj populaciji.
Metode. Srpska verzija NOSE scale (NOSE-s) je pripremana
na sledeći način: prevodom na srpski jezik, potom povratnim
prevodom na engleski jezik, komisijskim pregledom prevoda i
pretestiranjem skale. Proces validacije sproveden je u grupi od
50 bolesnika sa postavljenom dijagnozom devijacije nosne
pregrade (studijska grupa) i među 50 bolesnika koji su se lečili
na Klinici za uho, grlo i nos, kod kojih je postavljena dijagno-
za nekog drugog ne-rinološkog problema (kontrolna grupa).
Rezultati. NOSE-s instrument je pokazao dobru pouzdanost
(Cronbach α coefficient 0.81). Stabilnost i pouzdanost NO-
SE-s upitnika su potvrđeni test-retest procedurom pokazujući
da nema statistički značajne razlike u dobijenim odgovorima
(Goodman-Kruskal gamma coefficient 0.83). Skor pojedinačnih pi-
tanja, kao i ukupan zbir su bili viši u studijskoj grupi bolesnika
nego u kontrolnoj grupi, pokazujući da postoji razlika između
grupa (p < 0.001). Međusobna veza između pojedinačnih pita-
nja i pojedinačnog pitanja i ukupnog zbira je bila sličnih vred-
nosti kao i kod originalne skale. Tri meseca nakon septoplastike
prosečan NOSE-s skor je bio 19.2 ± 12.8. Izračunata je i vred-
nost standardized response mean (1.7) koja je pokazala visoku senzi-
tivnost upitnika na promenu. Zaključak. Srpska verzija NOSE
skale je jednostavna za korišćenje, validna i pouzdana za proce-
nu nosne opstrukcije. Zbog toga je peporučujemo za upotrebu
u svakodnevnoj rinološkoj praksi kao i u budućim kliničkim is-
traživanjima u populaciji koja govori srpski jezik.

AB  - Introduction. Dentofacial disorders may potentially significantly affect the quality of life. Objectives of this study were to validate translated and culturally adapted Orthognatic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) on a cohort of Serbian patients with malocclusions. Methods. The questionnaire was validated in 111 consecutive patients with malocclusions, seen between December 2014 and February 2015 at the Clinic of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade. Clinical validity was assessed comparing the mean scores for the four subscales of the OQLQ and mean PAR pre-treatment score. In order to assess whether the allocation of items in the subscales corresponds to their distribution in the original questionnaire, an exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis with varimax rotation) was conducted. Results. The results of the internal consistency analysis demonstrated good relationships between the items; Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the four subscales were highly significant (p lt  0.001) (0.88-0.91). All items were significantly correlated between baseline and the retest (6 weeks after). The correlations between the PAR and all four domains of the OQLQ were all significant (p lt  0.01). The loading weights obtained in the exploratory factor analysis showed that this model revealed four factors with eigenvalue greater than 1, explaining the 64.0% of the cumulative variance. The majority of the items (86.4%) in the Serbian version of the OQLQ presented the highest loading weight in the subscales assigned by the OQLQ developer. Conclusions. The psychometric properties of the OQLQ (Serbian version) have exceptional internal consistency and reproducibility as an instrument for evaluation of dental malocclusions. Additionally, this questionnaire may be useful as a supplementary outcome measure in persons with malocclusions.
