Observational Study
INTRODUCTION
The Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale is a brief instrument of six domains designed to assess quality of recovery from early to long term after surgery. This study aims to validate the Portuguese version of the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
In this observational study 101 adult patients undergoing elective surgery completed the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale at 15 minutes and 40 minutes, one and three days after surgery. Three constructs were assessed for validity: increased recovery over time; effect of gender and recovery association with muscle strength. Reliability, responsiveness, feasibility and acceptability were also assessed.
RESULTS
Construct validity was shown by increased recovery over time; worse recovery for female patients in emotive, nociceptive, activities of daily living and overall recovery; improved muscle strength in recovered patients. Internal consistency for activities of daily living was acceptable at all-time points (Cronbach's α value of 0.772 or higher), indicating scale reliability. The scale was able to detect differences in postoperative quality of recovery between the neuromuscular blockade reversal agents, neostigmine and sugammadex, indicating scale responsiveness. The time to conduct the Portuguese version at baseline was 95 - 581 seconds (median 319 seconds) and it was reduced with subsequent assessments. The proportion of patients completing all scale items was 87%, 75%, 65% and 94% for the four time periods evaluated, indicating scale feasibility and acceptability.
DISCUSSION
This study shows that the Portuguese version of the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale, demonstrates construct validity, reliability, responsiveness, feasibility and acceptability.
CONCLUSIONS
This study allowed validation of the Portuguese version of the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale.

Translational Vision Science &... Feb 2024This study aimed to determine the influence of decentration, rotation, and tilt on objective optical quality of plate haptic toric intraocular lenses (tIOLs).
PURPOSE
This study aimed to determine the influence of decentration, rotation, and tilt on objective optical quality of plate haptic toric intraocular lenses (tIOLs).
METHODS
The area ratio of modulation transfer function (MTF), strehl ratio of point spread function (PSF), and higher order aberrations (HOAs) for 3 mm and 5 mm pupil diameter (PD) were evaluated at postoperative 1 month. The retroillumination images pictured by OPD-scan III were used to quantify the degree of decentration and rotation, whereas the tIOL tilt was directly obtained by the tilt aberration. Patients were separated into two subgroups based on tIOL misalignment cutoff values.
RESULTS
There were 29 eyes (24 patients) in the study. The decentration of more than 0.25 mm did not substantially differ from those less than or equal to 0.25 mm. PSF of 3 mm PD and MTF, intraocular HOAs, and trefoil aberration for 3 mm and 5 mm PD significantly deteriorated with a rotation of more than 3 degrees, whereas only intraocular HOAs for 5 mm PD and coma for 3 mm and 5 mm PD were significantly severe with a tilt of more than 0.1 µm and 0.25 µm in corresponding PD. Furthermore, tIOL rotation and tilt were highly correlated with intraocular trefoil aberration and coma, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The decentration of the monofocal bitoric IOLs is more tolerant to optical quality degradation after 1 month of surgery but more sensitive to intraocular trefoil aberration caused by rotation and coma aberration induced by tilt.
TRANSLATIONAL RELEVANCE
As far as we know, this is the first study to investigate the relationship between the plate haptic bitoric IOL misalignment and objective optical quality measured by OPD-scan III in the real world, which may provide reference information for IOL selection to improve surgical outcomes.
