For the assessment of HRQoL, valid instruments are needed. Therefore, the Wound\u2010QoL questionnaire was originally developed and psychometrically validated for use in Germany. As the Wound\u2010QoL is to be used in numerous countries, international versions are required. Therefore, this study aimed to psychometrically validate the U.S. English Wound\u2010QoL version. Upon translation into U.S. English, psychometric testing was performed based on cross\u2010sectional data deriving from the U.S. Wound Registry. Besides descriptive statistics, internal consistency and concurrent validity were tested. In addition, a graded response model was used. The sample consisted of 599 people with chronic wounds of different etiologies. Participants were between 18 and 95\u2009years old, mean age was 63.7 (SD = 15.9) years. Gender was distributed almost equally, with 47.4% female patients. High internal consistency, low floor and ceiling effects of the subscales could be largely confirmed. The internal consistency of the global score was excellent, with <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.9. Concurrent validity between the Wound\u2010QoL and pain, the surface area of the largest wound, total surface area, and total number of active wounds could be confirmed. In contrast, item response theory (IRT) analyses could not fully confirm the factorial model underlying the Wound\u2010QoL subscales. Furthermore, the items regarding smell and discharge and the items on problems with hitting the wound against something, climbing stairs and feeling dependent on help from others showed a low item information in their belonging dimensions. In conclusion, the newly validated Wound\u2010QoL is available for HRQoL measurement in people with chronic wounds in the United States. It showed good psychometric properties, demonstrating its reliability and validity. Therefore, the instrument may be used to assess HRQoL in clinical practice. However, IRT analyses showed that the instrument may benefit from future refinement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/wrr.12837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,28]],"date-time":"2020-07-28T06:39:25Z","timestamp":1595918365000},"page":"609-616","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Development
