Validation of the Simplified Inguinal Pain Questionnaire for assessing postoperative pain and disability following hernioplasty

The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Simplified Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (sIPQ) and compare it to the regular Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (IPQ) for external validation. To do so, the IPQ and sIPQ were telephonically administered at 7 and 28 days postoperative...

Zusammenfassung:	The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Simplified Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (sIPQ) and compare it to the regular Inguinal Pain Questionnaire (IPQ) for external validation. To do so, the IPQ and sIPQ were telephonically administered at 7 and 28 days postoperatively for a cohort of 25 patients who underwent Lichtenstein hernioplasty. A psychometric analysis of the scores was done using Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest assessments. The agreement rate of the mean-standardized values between scores was afterwards calculated. We found closely similar psychometric values for the IPQ and sIPQ. The agreement rate between scores was 97% ( p
