The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the Drooling Impact Scale in children with cerebral palsy
Drooling is common among several neurologic disorders such as cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which are the main diseases that physiatrist are one of the leading physicians involved in whose management 1. Drooling can be seen either as anterior drooling, unintentional leaving of saliva from mouth to outside of the body, or posterior drooling, invisible spill of saliva from mouth through pharyngeal isthmus and then to respiratory or digestive tract, inside the body 2. Anterior drooling causes psycho-social impairment, skin problems, infections, bad odor, dehydration, dentation problems and wet clothes and tools while posterior drooling may result in morbidity by posing a risk for aspiration pneumonia. Despite the frequency and significance of the condition, there is still a paucity of research and inadequate evidence about the various treatments and valid and reliable outcomes available. A major problem for research into interventions to reduce drooling is that there is no valid and reliable measurement tool of saliva control. There is no questionnaire in Turkish to evaluate the effects of drooling as well as drooling interventions.The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the Drooling Impact Scale in children with cerebral palsy.

| The Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities (CPCHILD™) | Other | A quality of life scale that measure caregivers' perspectives on the health status, comfort, well being, and ease of caregiving of children with severe developmental disabilities. CPCHILD consists of 36 items distributed over six sections representing the following domains: (1) Personal Care (eight items); (2) Positioning, Transfer, and Mobility (eight items); (3) Communication and Social Interaction (seven items); (4) Comfort, Emotions, and Behaviour (nine items); (5) Health (three items); and (6) Overall Quality Of Life (one item). For the sections which involve the performance of skills, the degree of difficulty of accomplishing each task or activity was rated on a 7-point ordinal scale anchored by 0 ('No problem at all') to 6 ('Impossible'). |
|
| Drooling Quotient (DQ) | Other | DQ is a semi-quantitative method that assesses the presence of newly formed saliva on the lips every 15 seconds with 40 observations in 10 minutes, expressed as a percentage based on the ratio between the number of observed drooling episodes and the total number of observations. |
|
| Patient and caregiver visual analog scale (VAS) for drooling | Other | Patients will be asked to score their children's drooling severity on a visual analog scale (0-100 mm, 0 none to 100 severe) |
