Translation and Validation of the French Version of the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score QoR-15

After a surgery, the recovery of the previous health status of patients, such as walk, body care, sleep, diet, feeling of comfort, is one of the priorities of the perioperative medicine. The QoR-15 was designed to measure quality of recovery after surgery. It provided a valid, extensive and efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery. The primary objectives of this study is to translate the original QoR-15 questionnaire into French, and do a full psychometric evaluation of the French version. We will test its validity, reliability, responsiveness, and clinical acceptability and feasibility, with patients undergoing abdominal, orthopedic, […], gynecological surgery, in the University Hospital of Strasbourg. The secondary objectives will be to evaluate the quality of recovery of the patients who undergone surgery at Strasbourg University Hospital, and to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications occurring within three months postoperatively and a possible association with the QoR-15F.
