It has been translated into many languages. In this study, we aimed to validate a translated Thai version of the QoR-15 in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This was a single-center observational cohort study. The QoR-15 was translated into Thai and culturally adapted, which led to the items on severe and moderate pain being merged, yielding a 14-item scale: the QoR-14-Thai. Next, the QoR-14-Thai, a checklist measuring the patients\u2019 activities of daily living (ADL), and a 100-mm visual analog scale for assessing their global health (VAS-GH) were administered to the study patients before and 24\u00a0h after their abdominal surgery. The validity, reliability, responsiveness, and feasibility of the QoR-14-Thai were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among 166 patients, 140 completed the questionnaires, achieving a questionnaire completion rate of 100%.

The QoR-14-Thai was negatively correlated with the length of hospital stay (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.006) and postoperative admission to the intensive care unit (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.85, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001). The QoR-14-Thai had excellent internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s alpha\u2009=\u20090.869), split-half reliability (0.913), test\u2013retest reliability (0.94), and high responsiveness (Cohen\u2019s effect size: 1.01, standardized response mean: 0.73).
