June 29, 2021 updated by: Marlene Fischer

Quality of Recovery After General Anesthesia for Elective Non-cardiac Surgery - Validation of the German Translation of the Quality of Recovery-15 Questionnaire

The Quality of Recovery 15-questionnaire (QoR-15) is used to assess postoperative quality of recovery after surgery and anesthesia from the patient's perspective. It evaluates five dimensions including pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. The aim of this study is to validate a German version of the QoR-15 scale (QoR-15Dt) to measure postoperative recovery in German-speaking patients.
