摘要
目的 通过对近3年中华医学期刊全文数据库涉及疼痛视觉模拟量表(VAS)的文献进行分析,评价中国临床科研工作者对疼痛VAS的应用情况.方法 以"visual analogue scale"可能译成的中文词汇视觉模拟评分、视觉模拟量表、视觉类比评分和视觉类比量表为检索词,检索中华医学期刊全文数据库2021年至2023年的文献,筛选后对文献中反映作者对疼痛VAS应用的"资料与方法"和"结果"部分的文字、附图和附表进行分析,寻找并统计文献中对VAS定义、适应人群、疼痛程度标记方法和数值获取方法、数值单位以及转换成口述评分法(VRS)时VAS截点界定等存在的错误或不妥之处.结果 检索到2 377篇文献,最终纳入分析的有2 108篇文献.很少见有文中对VAS描述和表达完全正确的文献,99.86％的文献都能找到错误或不妥之处.除难以回避研究对象和VAS数值单位外,多数文献(77.00％～95.11％)对本研究中其他分析要点都未论及,2.51％的文献中研究对象不宜选择VAS,14.56％的文献对VAS定义描述错误,仅有7.21％和3.98％的文献对VAS疼痛程度标记和数值获取方法描述正确,92.13％的文献VAS数值用"分"作单位,高达18％的文献在VAS分级转换成VRS时将VAS混同于NRS.结论 中国临床科研工作者对疼痛VAS的认识不足,论文写作中存在多种错误或不当之处,应引起足够的重视.
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the application of the pain visual analogue scale(VAS)in Chi-nese clinical researchers by analyzing the literature related to the VAS for pain in the Chinese Medical Jour-nal Database in the past three years.Methods The literature was searched from the Chinese Medical Jour-nal Full Text Database from 2021 to 2023 using four Chinese vocabulary words that might be translated into"visual analog scale".The text,figures and tables in the"Materials and Methods"and"Results"sections of the literature that reflected authors'application of VAS were analyzed after screening.Any errors or inade-quacies in the definition of VAS,the target population,methods of pain intensity labeling and numerical ac-quisition,numerical units,and the cut-off points of VAS when converted to the verbal rating scale were identified and analyzed.Results A total of 2 377 articles were retrieved,and 2 108 articles were finally in-cluded.Among the 2 108 articles,there were very few papers with completely correct description and ex-pression of VAS,while 99.86％had errors or inappropriate aspects.The majority of the literature(77.00％to 95.11％)did not address the other key analysis points in this study,except for the challenging aspects of study subjects and VAS numerical units.In 2.51％of the literature,VAS was considered unsuitable for the study subject.About 14.56％of the literature contained incorrect descriptions of VAS definition.Only 7.21％and 3.98％of the literature accurately described the methods of pain intensity labeling and numerical acqui-sition for VAS.In 92.13％of the literature,VAS values were measured in"points".The VAS was confused with the numerical rating scale in up to 17.55％of the literature when converting into the verbal rating scale.Conclusions Chinese clinical researchers lack sufficient knowledge about the VAS,and there are numer-ous errors or inappropriate aspects in their paper writing,which should be given sufficient attention.
