Thai version of the Pediatric Quality of Recovery score
Official title: Translation and Psychometric Validation of the Thai Version of the Pediatric Quality of Recovery Score (Thai-PedsQoR)
Run by Mahidol University · NCT07378501 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We’re testing a Thai translation of a pediatric recovery questionnaire to see if it works reliably for Thai children and their caregivers after surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children aged 2–17 years undergoing elective procedures with postoperative hospitalization or day surgery, whose caregivers can communicate in Thai.
✕Probably not a fit
Children whose caregivers cannot reliably complete follow-up or those not meeting language or health criteria may not benefit from this instrument's validation.

What this trial studies
This observational study translates and culturally adapts the PedSQoR for Thai-speaking children aged 2 to 17 undergoing procedures with postoperative hospitalization or day surgery. The project follows ISPOR guidelines for patient-reported outcomes to establish translation quality and psychometric properties. The aim is to ensure the instrument accurately captures physical comfort, emotional well-being, behavior, and social functioning from both the child and proxy perspectives in this population. Data will come from patients and their guardians who complete the Thai PedSQoR as part of routine postoperative follow-up. The study is conducted at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok under Mahidol University as the lead sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, Thai clinicians will have a validated, culturally appropriate tool to measure pediatric recovery from the patient and proxy perspectives.
How similar studies have gone: Similar translations of pediatric outcome measures have shown good psychometric properties in other languages, supporting feasibility of this approach.
