Purpose
Measurement of head and neck external lymphedema and fibrosis (LEF) is challenging. To address this gap, we developed the Head and Neck External Lymphedema and Fibrosis (HN-LEF) Assessment Criteria. This article aimed to report preliminary data on reliability and validity of the HN-LEF Assessment Criteria. Methods Sixty head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who were ≥3-month post cancer therapy were recruited. Study measures included 1) demographic/medical data; 2) LEF physical examination completed independently by two staff members for interrater reliability (intrarater reliability completed by one of them); and 3) grayscale ultrasound examination of the head and neck skin. Reliability estimates used percent agreement and Kappa statistic. Validity was assessed via Spearman correlations of physical examination findings with ultrasound measurements. |
