Paediatric anaesthesia & critical care
Psychometric Evaluation of the Turkish Version of the Induction Compliance Checklist in Children Undergoing Mask Anesthesia
Authors' conclusion
Following rigorous analysis, we found that the Turkish ICC is a reliable and valid tool that can assess children's compliance behaviors during pediatric anesthesia induction.
Study context
- Population
- Children (ASA I–III) aged 1–7 years undergoing mask induction for anesthesia and surgery
- Participants
- 184 children
- Outcome
- Content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and inter-observer reliability of the Turkish Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC)
Methodological detailsprospective observational, three independent observers
- Prospective observational
- Three independent observers
Performance
As reported in the abstract

- Inter-observer reliability, total score, InCC (1, 2)
- 0.92 (95% CI 0.90-0.94)
- Inter-observer reliability, total score, InCC (2, 3)
- 0.97 (95% CI 0.96-0.98)
- Item-level Gwet's AC1
- 0.81 to 0.97
- Item-level Kappa (except M11)
- 0.75-0.90
- Internal consistency, KR-20
- 0.49-0.52
- Internal consistency, McDonald's omega

- 0.907
Further findings
Item analysis (floor effect, inter-item correlation)
- Correlation between M9-M10
- 0.89-0.94
- High floor effect, especially in rarely observed severe behaviors (M7-M11)
