Validation of the Arabic Version of the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Score 15 (Qor-15Ar)

Anesthesia practice is not only centered on the patient's safety and well-being through the perioperative period but also on enhancing his overall recovery experience. This study aims to provide an adapted questionnaire for the Arabic-speaking population as a measuring tool of the quality of recovery after surgery.

About this study

With the increasing number of anesthesia procedures performed every year, the concept of rapid rehabilitation after surgery has become a primary goal of the perioperative management of patients. This postoperative recovery concerns not only the physical aspect but also encompasses the general concept of well-being and enhancement of the patient's experience. There are many tools to assess postoperative recovery. However, none has been validated within the Moroccan surgical population.

The Qor-15 (Quality of Recovery) score is a scale for measuring postoperative recovery. It was developed in 2013 by Myles et al and has been validated in a widely variable population [1]. It includes 15 items, each rated from 0 to 10. Our objective is to validate the Arabic version of the QOR-15Ar within a Moroccan surgical population.
