N2 - Objective: To validate the cultural adaptation of the
instrument (Community Orientate Pro-gram in the Rheumatic Diseases) COPCORD to detect
musculoskeletal pain and rheumatic diseases in the population of Cuenca.Methodology: A
COPCORD transcultural ques-tionnaire validation and its application were made in the
community to identify rheumatic symptoms. A rheumatologist doctor checked people to define
the diagnosis. A descriptive statistical analysis of each variable was per-formed. Chronbach
alpha, analysis screening test (sensitivity, specificity, and positive predic-tive value and
roc curves) was measured.Results: A total of 201 people participated, 106 in urban areas and
95 in rural areas. The 67.6% were women with an average age of 50.3 years with 7.5 years in
school. The 57.7% reported musculoskeletal pain with an inten-sity of 5.8 for VSA. Comparing
the COPCORD questionnaire with the clinical assessment of the rheumatologist an 83.72% of
sensitivity, was observed, specificity of 61.14%, probability of 2.18 and area under the
curve of 0.72; with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.7 for pain characteris-tics and 0,9 for
functional capacity.Conclusion: The COPCORD questionnaire is valid for using in rural and
urban populations in Ecuador; it demonstrated good performance as a screening test.
