The Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ) is the most widely-used questionnaire to assess chronic venous disease. Because the first item requires patients to agree to draw their veins, its paper form has been called into question leading to the development of a tablet version that has simplified its application. However, the literature still lacks a comparison of these tools.
To compare agreement between scores, questionnaire completion time, and user-friendliness between paper-based and tablet-based versions of the AVVQ.
In a prospective, multicenter trial, consecutive patients were asked to complete paper-based and tablet-based versions of the AVVQ. Scores, questionnaire completion time, data entry time, and degree of user difficulty were compared.
Data were collected from 88 patients, 22.7% had completed primary school and 43.2% had higher education. Most patients (88.6%) reported that the tablet version was easy to use. Median time to complete the questionnaire and compute scores was 4 minutes for the tablet version and 9.5 minutes for the paper version (p<0.001). Mean AVVQ scores obtained by patients did not differ significantly between the two groups (p=0.431).
In this study, paper and tablet versions of the AVVQ yielded similar scores, with the tablet version saving time when considering the entire process needed to apply the questionnaire and compute data.
阿伯丁静脉曲张问卷（AVVQ）是评估慢性静脉疾病最广泛使用的问卷。由于第一项要求患者同意画出他们的静脉，其纸质版受到质疑，从而促使开发了简化应用的平板版。然而，文献中仍缺乏对这些工具的比较。
比较AVVQ纸质版和平板版在得分一致性、问卷完成时间和用户友好性方面的差异。
在一项前瞻性多中心试验中，连续的患者被要求完成AVVQ的纸质版和平板版。比较得分、问卷完成时间、数据录入时间和用户困难程度。
收集了88例患者的数据，22.7%完成小学教育，43.2%接受过高等教育。大多数患者（88.6%）报告平板版易于使用。平板版完成问卷和计算得分的中位时间为4分钟，纸质版为9.5分钟（p<0.001）。两组患者获得的平均AVVQ得分无显著差异（p=0.431）。
在本研究中，AVVQ的纸质版和平板版得分相似，考虑到应用问卷和计算数据所需的整个过程，平板版节省时间。
