validation of stool scale in toddlers
objective : the Bristol stool form scale (BSFS) is inadequate for non-toilet trained children.
The Brussels Infant and Toddler Stool Scale (BITTS) was developed, consisting of 7 photograps of diapers containing stools of infants and toddlers. We aimed to evaluate inter-observer reliability of stool consistency assessment among parents, nurses and medical doctors using the BITTS.
Method :
In this multicenter cross-sectional study (2016-2017), Bitts photograps were rated according to the BSFS. The reliability of the BITTS was evaluated using the overall proportion of perfect agreement and the linearly weighted K statistic.
What is known :
To get validation of the BITTS :
Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel is the lead sponsor of 362 studies on the registry; 103 are open to participants now.
