<p><strong>Background: </strong>The “Quality of Recovery 15” questionnaire is used for the study of quality recovery after anesthesia. The aim of this study was to validate the Portuguese version of “Quality of Recovery 15” questionnaire.<br /><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> After study approval by the institutional ethics committee, an observational and cohort prospective study was conducted on patients scheduled for elective surgery from June to August 2013. The “Quality of Recovery 15” questionnaire was translated in accordance with available guidelines. The “Quality of Recovery 15” Portuguese version was used before surgery (T0) and 24h postoperatively (T1) on 170 patients. Patients who were unable to give informed consent or had cognitive impairment were excluded. Poor quality of recovery was defined for “Quality of Recovery 15” score at T1 lower than the mean “Quality of Recovery 15”<br />score minus 1 standard deviation. Reliability and observer disagreement was assessed using interclass correlation. Non-parametric tests were used for comparisons.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> There was a negative correlation between “Quality of Recovery 15” score and time spent in the postanesthesia care<br />(ρ = −0.264, p = 0.004) and length of hospital stay (ρ = −0.274, p = 0.004). Thirty-two patients (19%) had poor quality of recovery. Patients with poor quality of recovery had more frequently diabetes mellitus and hypertension and they were taking antidepressants drugs more frequently. Patients with poor quality of recovery were more frequently submitted to combined anesthesia and less frequently to general anesthesia and locoregional anesthesia (p = 0.008). The questionnaire had a good internal consistency and test–retest reliability was good.<br /><strong>Discussion:</strong> The Portuguese version of the “Quality of Recovery 15” showed a good correlation with the original.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This questionnaire appears to be an accurate and reliable assessment for quality of recovery.</p>

Introduction: The Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale is a brief instrument of six domains designed to assess quality of recovery from early to long term after surgery. This study aims to validate the Portuguese version of the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale.Material and Methods: In this observational study 101 adult patients undergoing elective surgery completed the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale at 15 minutes and 40 minutes, one and three days after surgery. Three constructs were assessed for validity: increased recovery over time; effect of gender and recovery association with muscle strength. Reliability, responsiveness, feasibility and acceptability were also assessed.Results: Construct validity was shown by increased recovery over time; worse recovery for female patients in emotive, nociceptive, activities of daily living and overall recovery; improved muscle strength in recovered patients. Internal consistency for activities of daily living was acceptable at all-time points (Cronbach’s α value of 0.772 or higher), indicating scale reliability. The scale was able to detect differences in postoperative quality of recovery between the neuromuscular blockade reversal agents, neostigmine and sugammadex, indicating scale responsiveness. The time to conduct the Portuguese version at baseline was 95 - 581 seconds (median 319 seconds) and it was reduced with subsequent assessments. The proportion of patients completing all scale items was 87%, 75%, 65% and 94% for the four time periods evaluated, indicating scale feasibility and acceptability.Discussion: This study shows that the Portuguese version of the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale, demonstrates construct validity, reliability, responsiveness, feasibility and acceptability.Conclusions: This study allowed validation of the Portuguese version of the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale.
