Creating a quick quality-of-life questionnaire for people with short bowel syndrome
SBS DISK- Creation of a Quality of Life Tool for Short Bowel Patients Compared With a Validated Quality of Life Questionnaire (SBS QoL)
This project will try a shorter, easier quality-of-life questionnaire for adults with short bowel syndrome and compare it with the existing SBS QoL tool.

What this trial studies
This observational project aims to develop a shorter, user-friendly quality-of-life questionnaire tailored to adults with short bowel syndrome and compare responses with the validated SBS QoL instrument. Adult patients who speak and read French and do not have known cognitive disorders will complete both instruments at Hôpital Lyon Sud. Investigators will analyze agreement, completion time, and ease of use to determine whether the shorter tool captures the same quality-of-life domains. The goal is to produce a rapid instrument suitable for routine clinical practice.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults aged 18 or older with short bowel syndrome who can read and speak French and do not have known cognitive disorders are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People who are under 18, cannot read or speak French, or have known cognitive disorders may not be able to participate or benefit from the new tool.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, a shorter, easier questionnaire could make routine quality-of-life monitoring more practical and help clinicians better tailor care for people with short bowel syndrome.
How similar studies have performed: Shortened, condition-specific quality-of-life instruments have been used successfully in other diseases, but a dedicated brief QoL tool for short bowel syndrome is novel and not yet validated.
