Validation of the Thai version of the quality of recovery scale (QoR-14-Thai) after elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 15-item Quality of Recovery scale (QoR-15), a short form of the QoR-40, is a widely used self-reported tool for measuring the postoperative quality of recovery. It has been translated into many languages. In this study, we aimed to validate a translated Thai version of the QoR-15 in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.

Methods

This was a single-center observational cohort study. The QoR-15 was translated into Thai and culturally adapted, which led to the items on severe and moderate pain being merged, yielding a 14-item scale: the QoR-14-Thai. Next, the QoR-14-Thai, a checklist measuring the patients' activities of daily living (ADL), and a 100-mm visual analog scale for assessing their global health (VAS-GH) were administer
