The LYMQOL-arm questionnaire was translated from English to Korean. This 28-item instrument contains the overall quality of life (QOL) and is categorized into four domains: function, appearance, symptoms, and mood. In addition, the demographics and characteristics of lymphedema were assessed by reviewing the medical records. The LYMQOL-arm, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), and Breast Cancer Module 23 (EORTC QLQ-BR23) were administered. The internal consistency of the LYMQOL-arm was analyzed using Cronbach's\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and test\u2013retest reliability was examined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Concurrent validity was evaluated using Pearson's correlation test between the LYMQOL-arm and the EORTC QLQ instruments. A total of 62 participants were enrolled in the study. All domains of the LYMQOL-arm showed high internal consistency, and the ICC of each domain and overall QOL ranged from 0.836 to 0.956 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). All domains and overall QOL scores of the LYMQOL-arm significantly correlated with most of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 scales.
