However, the Japanese version of the QoR40 has not been established. The aim of this study was to validate the quality of recovery 40 Japanese version (the QoR-40J) according to the methods adopted by the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) project. Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval and consent, 192 general and otological surgical patients were studied. The QoR-40J was used to measure postoperative health status on day 3 and 1month after surgery. The level of quality of life was also evaluated using a general, health-related quality of life questionnaire (Short-Form Health Survey-36 sub-scales; SF-36), at 1month after the surgery. Psychometric analysis including the following properties: test-retest reliability, internal consistency, predictive validity, and measurement of responsiveness, was performed to validate the QoR-40J. Results: Test-retest reliability (Spearman's correlation coefficient) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α) of the QoR-40J were 0.887 and 0.91, respectively. A significant relationship was observed between the total QoR-40J score and duration of hospitalization (r=−0.291) and between the global QoR-40J score and postoperative scores of the SF-36 sub-scales (physical function, ρ=0.287; vital score, ρ=0.349). The standardized mean of the QoR-40J, a measurement of responsiveness, was 0.70. Conclusion: The results of the psychometric analysis indicated that the QoR-40J has characteristics of acceptable validity, reliability, and responsiveness in clinical practice in Japan. The QoR-40J may aid in evaluating the quality of recovery after surgery or the quality of methods of anesthesia.
