Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the measurement properties of the Arabic version of the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). A sample of 100 Arab patients with CVD completed the Arabic version of the DASI and underwent an exercise stress test (EST) on the first visit, and the metabolic equivalent (MET) was obtained from each outcome measure. On the second visit, patients with CVD completed the Arabic version of the DASI along with the global rating of change scale (GRC). Reliability, including the internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and construct validity, were examined. Patients with CVD (86 males), mean (SD) age 54.98 (10.2) years, completed the study. The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.87, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 2,1 ) was 0.93. The estimated MET and peak VO 2 obtained from the DASI were correlated with the estimated MET and peak VO 2 obtained from the EST (r = 0.58, r = 0.56, all p -values < 0.001). The Arabic version of the DASI is a simple, quick, reliable, and valid measure of functional capacity in Arabic-speaking patients with CVD. The DASI may serve as a screening tool for functional capacity in patients with CVD in clinical settings.
