The LMQ-3 was successfully translated into Swedish and validated in a Swedish outpatient cohort regularly using medicines. Construct validity of the Swedish translation was adequate, with minor differences from the originator instrument. Future test-retest reliability will help assess suitability of the instrument for stability of scores over time and usefulness in longitudinal studies. In conclusion, this questionnaire can provide a person-centred measure of medicines burden in persons who regularly take prescribed medicines.
