Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Fonseca Anamnestic Index is a questionnaire used to classify individuals with temporomandibular disorders. Previous studies have shown that the Fonseca Anamnestic Index provides a multidimensional measurement of the temporomandibular disorders construct and that the main dimension presents a good fit to the model according to the item response theory. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the between-day reliability, accuracy, and best cut-off score of the Short-Form Fonseca Anamnestic Index for the diagnosis of myogenous temporomandibular disorders. METHODS: The sample consisted of 123 women (57 with myogenous temporomandibular disorders and 66 asymptomatic), evaluated by the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. The participants answered the Short-Form Fonseca Anamnestic Index on two occasions with a seven-day interval between tests. For the analysis of between-day reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient, the standard error of measurement and the minimum detectable change were used. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve was used to determine the diagnostic accuracy and the best cut-off point. RESULTS: The Short-Form Fonseca Anamnestic Index demonstrated excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient≥0.95) for all items and for the total Short-Form Fonseca Anamnestic Index score (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.98; standard error of measurement=3.28; minimum detectable change=9.09). The level of accuracy of the Short-Form Fonseca Anamnestic Index for the diagnosis of myogenous temporomandibular disorders was high (area under the curve of 0.97), with a better cut-off score of 17.5 points. CONCLUSION: The Fonseca Anamnestic Index should be used in its short form to classify the absence of myogenous temporomandibular disorders (scores between 0 and 15 points) or presence of myogenous temporomandibular disorders (scores between 20 and 50 points) in women.
