Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to produce a user-friendly tool to accurately assess early quality of life in postoperative patients following abdominal colorectal surgery in the early postoperative period (from surgery to 6 months) that is practical for routine application. The study will also compare this tool to the current available tools, namely the Short Form (SF-36), the short form inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ), the Cleveland Clinic Global Quality of Life (CGQOL).
