Summary

Long-term bowel dysfunction after resection for rectal cancer, known as low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), is observed in many patients. The LARS score was developed to measure this syndrome and its impact on quality of life in Danish patients. Recently, English and many other language versions have been validated. The aim of this study was to validate the Turkish translation of the LARS score in Turkish patients who have undergone treatment for rectal cancer.

Detailed description

A total of 326 patients were reviewed and contacted for the study, and 222 (68%) were eligible for the analyses. The association between the LARS score and quality of life and the test-retest reliability were studied. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to understand the degree of reliability.
