Discriminant validity along with test–retest reliability was assessed. The time taken to perform a clinical assessment with and without the SAGIS was recorded along with doctor satisfaction with this tool. Results: Exploratory factor analysis conducted on the derivation sample suggested five symptom constructs labeled as abdominal pain/discomfort (seven items), gastroesophageal reflux disease/regurgitation symptoms (four items), nausea/vomiting (three items), diarrhea/incontinence (five items), and difficult defecation and constipation (2 items). Confirmatory factor analysis conducted on the validation sample supported the initially developed five-factor measurement model (χ²₁₉₃=892.2, p < 0.0001, χ²/df = 4.6, CFI = 0.90, TLI = 0.88, RMSEA = 0.08). All symptom groups demonstrated differentiation between disease groups. The SAGIS was shown to be reliable over time and resulted in a 38% reduction of the time required for clinical assessment. Conclusions: The SAGIS instrument has excellent psychometric properties and supports the clinical assessment of and symptom-based categorization of patients with a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal symptoms.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:43:15 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13239 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:36 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24505 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:10 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24506 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:10 AEDT ]]>
