Multicenter Study Comparative Study[The Color Analog Scale: a valid instrument for measuring pain intensity in Catalan-speaking children?].
To evaluate the validity of the Color Analog Scale (CAS) for assessing pain intensity in a Catalan-speaking pediatric population. ⋯ The results of the present study provide preliminary evidence of the convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity of the CAS in this setting. The CAS appears to be valid for measuring pain intensity in Catalan-speaking children and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 15 years.
