However, there are limitations in the development process and content of existing scales.Purpose: To develop and validate a universal patient-reported outcome measure, the postoperative recovery scale for adult (PRSA), to assess early and long-term postoperative recovery.Patients and Methods: The PRSA was developed through a new conceptual framework, systematic literature review, patient interview, and Delphi consultation. Then, the PRSA and the 15-item quality of recovery scale (QoR-15) were employed to evaluate the measurement properties of PRSA in 180 adult patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Results: A 10-item PRSA scale was developed through a systematic review of 1602 literature, interviews with 138 patients, and two rounds of Delphi consultation. The correlation coefficient between the PRSA and QoR-15 ranged from 0.780 to 0.904 (P < 0.001), and the PRSA indicated great validity in distinguishing patients with complications. The internal consistency and test–retest reliability of the PRSA were satisfactory. Besides, the time to complete the PRSA was 27.5s (95% CI: 24.5– 30.0 s) shorter than QoR-15, and more patients thought that completing the PRSA was easy compared to QoR-15 (65.7% vs 57.2%, P < 0.001).Conclusion: The PRSA scale is a universal patient-reported outcome measure that can be utilized for evaluating postoperative recovery. It shows great measurement properties in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Keywords: postoperative recovery, patient-reported outcomes, scale, abdominal surgery, adults |
