The Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 questionnaire is self-rated and commonly used to assess QoR following anaesthesia. QoR-15 has been validated in many languages, but the Hindi version (QoR-15H) has not yet undergone formal validation. We aimed to translate the QoR-15 questionnaire into Hindi and evaluate its validity and reliability in the Hindi-speaking population.
The prospective cohort study was conducted among patients scheduled for elective general surgery under either general or regional anaesthesia. QoR-15H was used twice before surgery (T1 and T2; 30 min apart) and twice on postoperative day 1 (T3 and T4; 30 min apart). We assessed its validity, reliability and clinical feasibility.
A total of 300 patients were included. The recruitment and feasibility rates were 67.8% and 90.36%, respectively. A high negative correlation between the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)-Pain and QoR-15H in both the preoperative and postoperative periods indicated significant convergent validity. Age, duration of surgery and total hospital stay were positively correlated with NRS and negatively correlated with QoR-15H scores. The optimal cut-off points of the QoR-15H score at par to NRS ≤3 equivalent was <95.5. The sensitivity and specificity were 96.6 and 1.0, respectively, indicating good discriminant power. For reliability, intraclass correlation coefficients were greater than 0.98 and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was greater than 0.9.
The Hindi version of the QoR-15 questionnaire is valid, reliable and feasible for patients undergoing general surgeries under general and regional anaesthesia.
术后恢复质量（QoR）-15问卷为自评问卷，常用于评估麻醉后的恢复质量。QoR-15已在多种语言中得到验证，但印地语版本（QoR-15H）尚未经过正式验证。我们旨在将QoR-15问卷翻译成印地语，并评估其在说印地语人群中的有效性和可靠性。
对计划接受全身或区域麻醉下择期普通外科手术的患者进行前瞻性队列研究。在手术前使用QoR-15H两次（T1和T2，间隔30分钟），术后第1天使用两次（T3和T4，间隔30分钟）。我们评估了其有效性、可靠性和临床可行性。
共纳入300例患者。招募率和可行性率分别为67.8%和90.36%。术前和术后数字评分量表（NRS）-疼痛与QoR-15H之间均呈高度负相关，表明具有显著的收敛效度。年龄、手术时间和总住院时间与NRS呈正相关，与QoR-15H评分呈负相关。与NRS≤3相当的QoR-15H评分的最佳截断点<95.5。敏感性和特异性分别为96.6和1.0，表明具有良好的判别能力。在可靠性方面，组内相关系数大于0.98，Cronbach's α系数大于0.9。
QoR-15问卷的印地语版本对于接受全身和区域麻醉下普通外科手术的患者是有效、可靠且可行的。
