Introduction: Ventral hernias significantly impact patients' quality of life. It is essential to recognise this when creating a treatment plan and conducting studies that compare interventions. The Abdominal Hernia-Q is a meticulously validated questionnaire that focuses on patient-reported outcomes. However, at the time of this study, no Danish version was available. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a Danish translation of the Abdominal Hernia-Q.
Methods: The translation of the questionnaire followed a comprehensive process, including forward-backwards translation, expert committee review and pretesting to ensure face validity. We included ten patients for pretesting. The inclusion criteria were > 18 years of age and a history of ventral hernia repair. The exclusion criteria were the inability to speak or read Danish.
Results: A Danish version of the Abdominal Hernia-Q was successfully developed. This process revealed a few minor discrepancies between translators, which were resolved through discussion. Pretesting identified three issues: one unspecified and two minor cultural issues. All issues were addressed and corrected.
Conclusion: A validated Danish version of the Abdominal Hernia-Q is now available for use by clinicians and researchers, having undergone rigorous pretesting for face validity.
Funding: None.
Trial registration: This study was approved by the Danish Data Protection Agency (p-2023-15228).
