    Objectiveto validate into Spanish the Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction score (NBD score) that quantifies intestinal dysfunction severity in patients with disabilities due to central neurological injury and satisfaction with bowel management.Material59 patients, 30 patients affected by intestinal disability due to spinal cord injury and 29 patients with intestinal disability due to stroke.ResultsThe result of the reliability of the construction of the Spanish translation of the NBD score for the whole group of patients shows a Cronbach's α for all the variables of 0.970 and the result of the reliability of the NBD score for the whole group in test-retest, using the interclass correlation coefficient, was 0.970 (95% CI 0.954-0.980).ConclusionsThe Spanish version of the NBD score is a valid tool for use in our environment; it will allow a more real approach to the disability situation of each patient in relation to neurogenic intestinal dysfunction and knowledge of the degree and the involvement and effectiveness of management through different therapeutic proposals.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier España, S.L.U.
