Development of a patient-reported outcome measure for gastrointestinal recovery after surgery (PRO-diGI) ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dHKFwApj This study describes a four-stage development of a patient-reported outcome measure for gastrointestinal recovery The QQ-10 demonstrated high value and low burden, supporting face validity Tests to reduce the items and identify the domain structure resulted in a 15-item questionnaire across four domains (nausea, eating, well-being, and bowels) Test-retest reliability showed intraclass correlation coefficient values ≥0.7 for all domains PRO-diGI is a PROM for gastrointestinal dysfunction after major abdominal surgery that shows good psychometric properties and demonstrates face validity, reliability, and responsiveness Work by Matthew J Lee, Daniel M Baker, Debby Hawkins, Sue Blackwell, Robert Arnott, Deena Harji, Gabrielle Thorpe, Stephen J Chapman, Georgina L Jones, the PRO-diGI Collaborators #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @des_winter @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology #Some4COLoprocto
