title: Interrater reliability of the Korean version of the International Spinal Cord Injury Basic Pain Data Set.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To provide a Korean translation of the International Spinal Cord Injury Basic Pain Data Set (ISCIBPDS) and evaluate the interrater reliability of the translated version.
  
  
  METHODS
  Survey of community-dwelling people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in South Korea.
  
  
  METHODS
  The initial translation was performed by two translators with an in-depth knowledge of SCI, and was then checked by another person with a similar background. A total of 115 SCI participants (87 men, 28 women; 48.4±14.1 years) were evaluated using the Korean version of the ISCIBPDS by two different raters. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) or Cohen's kappa (κ) was used for analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All 115 participants had at least one pain problem on both surveys. Seventeen (14.8%) participants described their pain as a single pain problem to one rater while reporting the same pain as two or more different pain problems to the other rater. Twenty-two (19.1%) other participants reported their pain problems in a different order of severity on the surveys. The Korean version of the ISCIBPDS had acceptable interrater reliability, except in the 'limit activities (how much do you limit your activities in order to keep your pain from getting worse?)' item (ICC=0.318).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Provision of criteria for pain separation may facilitate the consistent application of ISCIBPDS. In addition, the ISCIBPDS, which evaluated pain problems separately, reflected the multiple and complex characteristics of SCI-related pain; this was a strength of this data set.
