292 patients with a variety of "low-priority" conditions completed the Health Measurement Questionnaire self-report instrument (HMQ) on admission for surgery, and again 6 months post-operation. Comparison of the two questionnaires permitted the change in Quality of Life (QoL) to be measured. Overall, of the respondents, 73% gained benefit from surgery in terms of improvement in QoL. The largest gains were in the breast surgery group, but there were individual patients in all groups who gained substantial improvement in QoL. The results suggest that the HMQ is a useful method of measuring benefit in patients admitted for low priority plastic surgery procedures.
292名患有各种“低优先级”病症的患者在接受手术入院时填写了健康测量问卷自我报告工具（HMQ），术后6个月再次填写。对两份问卷进行比较，从而可以衡量生活质量（QoL）的变化。总体而言，在受访者中，73%的人在生活质量改善方面从手术中获益。获益最大的是乳房手术组，但所有组中都有个别患者在生活质量方面有显著改善。结果表明，HMQ是衡量接受低优先级整形手术患者获益情况的一种有用方法。
