Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Validity of the instrument developed for the epidemiological diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders, evaluated against the current gold standard, the DC/TMD. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The validity of the internal structure is obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis. While the reliability, through the internal consistency given by the Cronbach's alpha value (a> 0.70), the reproducibility by the test-retest, calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC> 0.70), and the interobserver equivalence by weighted Kappa. The results of the instruments will correlate, and from that, the sensitivity and specificity values will be observed within the parameters considered ideal (CI> 95%) to obtain the validated version. | — |
