{"title":"Development of a patient-reported outcome measure for gastrointestinal recovery after surgery (PRO-diGI).","authors":"Matthew J Lee,Daniel M Baker,Debby Hawkins,Sue Blackwell,Robert Arnott,Deena Harji,Gabrielle Thorpe,Stephen J Chapman,Georgina L Jones,","doi":"10.1093/bjs/znaf055","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf055","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUNDAfter major abdominal surgery, patients may experience significant gastrointestinal dysfunction, including postoperative ileus. Many clinical tools are used to measure this dysfunction, but there is no patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) specific to this group. The aim of this study was to develop a new PROM for this common condition.METHODSA four-stage approach was undertaken. Stage 1 used semi-structured interviews with 29 patients to explore experiences of gastrointestinal recovery and develop a draft questionnaire. Stage 2 solicited feedback from 18 patients and 15 clinical experts on the face validity of the proposed tool using the Questionnaire on Questionnaires (QQ-10). Stage 3 recruited 297 patients to complete the questionnaire. Principal component analysis reduced the items and identified the domain structure. Test-retest reliability and a pilot assessment of responsiveness were assessed in stage 4 in a sample of 100 patients and in a sample of 68 patients respectively.RESULTSThe interviews generated 26 subthemes across gastrointestinal recovery and general well-being. An initial questionnaire containing 44 items was developed. The QQ-10 demonstrated high value and low burden, supporting face validity. Tests to reduce the items and identify the domain structure resulted in a 15-item questionnaire across four domains (nausea, eating, well-being, and bowels). Test-retest reliability showed intraclass correlation coefficient values ≥0.7 for all domains. Pilot responsiveness was demonstrated through differences in pre- and post-surgical scores.CONCLUSIONPRO-diGI is a PROM for gastrointestinal dysfunction after major abdominal surgery that shows good psychometric properties and demonstrates face validity, reliability, and responsiveness. This now needs external validation to facilitate broader implementation.","PeriodicalId":136,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Surgery","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143819369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
