QoR-15T in Cardiac Surgery (QoR15T-CARDİAC)

May 12, 2026 updated by: Kocaeli City Hospital

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15T) Scale in Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

The objective of this prospective observational cohort study is to evaluate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Turkish version of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15T) scale in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. While the QoR-15T has been validated for general surgery in Turkey, its performance remains to be established in high-risk cardiac surgery populations involving cardiopulmonary bypass and intensive care stays.Approximately 150 patients at Kocaeli City Hospital will be enrolled. The study will compare the patients' QoR-15T scores-recorded preoperatively and on the 7th postoperative day-with the Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to determine construct validity.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-15T)
Time Frame: Postoperative Day 7 (or discharge day if earlier)
The Turkish version of the 15-item Quality of Recovery scale (QoR-15T). Each item is scored 0-10. Total score ranges from 0 to 150
Postoperative Day 7 (or discharge day if earlier)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Postoperative Day 7
A self-reported scale where patients rate their overall recovery on a line from 0 to 100 (0 = poor recovery, 100 = excellent recovery). This will be used to assess the construct validity of the QoR-15T
Postoperative Day 7
