Population

62 postoperative patients within 48 hours of their surgery

Comparison

Investigator-administered QoR-40 questionnaire vs Patient self-administered QoR-40 questionnaire

Design

Cross-sectional

Follow-up

Implication

May support investigator-administered QoR-40 as alternative; leaves open routine adoption pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does investigator-administered QoR-40 provide comparable results to patient self-administered QoR-40 in postoperative patients?

P
Population
62 postoperative patients within 48 hours of their surgery
I
Intervention
Investigator-administered QoR-40 questionnaire
C
Comparator
Patient self-administered QoR-40 questionnaire
O
Outcome
Agreement between the two methods (intraclass correlation coefficient, bias and limits of agreement)patient reported

Investigator-administered QoR-40 is a valid and more efficient method for measuring postoperative recovery compared to patient self-administration.
