BACKGROUND: The Mississippi Aphasia Screening Test ( @entity73100 ) is a brief screening test for assessing the expressive and receptive language abilities in @entity1 with @entity2026 . The objective of the study was to develop and validate the Persian version of the @entity73100 ( @entity73100 ) as a screening test for @entity3180 in @entity1 with post- @entity64 @entity2026 . METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional design to cross-culturally adapt the @entity73100 following the guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation of measures. A total of 40 subjects (20 @entity1 with post- @entity64 @entity2026 and 20 healthy subjects) were included. The @entity73100 was tested for floor or ceiling effects, internal consistency reliability, intra-rater reliability, discriminative validity, and factor structure. RESULTS: There were no floor or ceiling effects for @entity73100 total score. The @entity73100 yielded values for internal consistency reliability that were not adequate (Cronbach's alpha 0.64 and 0.66 for test and retest, respectively. The intra-rater reliability of the @entity73100 within a 7 day-interval was excellent for total score (ICC agreement = 0.96) and both expressive index (ICC = 0.95) and receptive index (ICC agreement = 0.98). here were statistically significant differences in @entity73100 total scores and both indexes between @entity1 and healthy subjects suggesting the discriminative validity of the @entity73100 (P < 0.001). Factor analysis revealed a 3-factor solution, which jointly accounted for 72.06% of the total variance. Additional factor analysis suggested 6-item @entity73100 as a unidimensional measure. CONCLUSION: The @entity73100 is useful as a valid and reliable screening tool for evaluation of language abilities in Persian speaking @entity1 with @entity2026 after @entity64 .
