Validation of the Persian version of anterior skull base questionnaire in patients undergoing endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal surgery.

ABSTRACT: Endoscopic skull base surgery has transformed craniofacial treatment by reducing morbidity and enhancing precision. Traditional outcome measures often overlook the multidimensional aspects of quality of life (QoL) in recovery. Patient-reported tools, such as the anterior skull base questionnaire (ASBQ), offer a comprehensive view of QoL. However, the ASBQ's effectiveness is limited in non-English-speaking populations without cultural adaptation. This study aims to culturally adapt and psychometrically validate the Persian version of the anterior skull base questionnaire (ASBQ-P) for patients undergoing transnasal transsphenoidal surgery. Translation and cross-cultural adaptation adhered to ISPOR guidelines, encompassing forward and backward translation, expert review, and cognitive debrief
