The evaluation of an Arabic version of Rose questionnaire.
An Arabic version of Rose questionnaire was tested to establish its credibility as an epidemiological tool for screening purposes. The study showed that the criteria used in defining CHD determinants were still applicable today and in Arabic. The Arabic version maintained similar, if not better, sensitivity and specificity results than its original counterpart. The study pointed out, however, to several limitations that should be kept in mind during the interpretation of the questionnaire results.
