Summary

Recovery from surgery is a complex process, depending on the characteristics of the patient, the anesthesia used, and the time required for surgical management.

In the context of emergency surgery, the perioperative period is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality, which may lead us to suspect an alteration in the quality of recovery.

Different scales to measure the quality of post-operative recovery have been developed. The QoR-40 and QoR-15 questionnaires assess recovery after elective surgery.These scoring tools accurately measure postoperative recovery by addressing key domains: pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support and emotional state. Their use is recommended as an endpoint for assessing patient comfort in clinical trials, according to the Standardized Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine (StEP) initiative. In addition, monitoring of the QoR-15 is recommended by the American Society for Enhanced Recovery. A recent French translation of the QoR-15 score has been validated for use in scheduled surgery.

All of these scores, regardless of the language in which they are translated, have been developed and validated in patients who have undergone scheduled surgery. Until now, no validated scoring tool has been available to assess recovery after emergency surgery, whether traumatological or not.

FQoR-15 questionnaire

The FQoR-15 questionnaire (French version) consists of 15 questions concerning five domains (the patient's feelings, comfort, pain, dependence on the health care team and psychological well-being). Two to three minutes are required to complete all the questions. If the patient is not able to read the questionnaire himself, a third person can ask the patient the questions orally. In the case of ambulatory surgery, the patient is contacted by telephone to answer the questionnaire. Each item is scored from 0 to 10 and the total score is the sum of the score obtained for each item, i.e. a score from 0 to 150.
