The authors partnered with FACITtrans, a component of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) group with more than 25 years of experience in translation, cultural adaptation, and linguistic validation of patient-reported outcome measures, to translate the VSQOL Index to Japanese using a rigorous translation methodology.\n                    <jats:sup>2\u20135<\/jats:sup>\n                    The translation of the VSQOL Index presented at the end of this article may be used for noncommercial research, clinical, or educational purposes without seeking written permission from the authors.
