Evaluation of the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 scoring tool up to 30 days postpartum: a secondary cross-sectional psychometric analysis (SOCRATES cohort)
Authors' conclusion
Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 retained acceptable psychometric properties within the first 30 days postpartum, supporting its use as a brief recovery measure.
Study context
- Population
- Women within 30 days postpartum, national Swiss multilingual cohort (French, German, Italian, English)
- Participants
- 1,935 women
- Primary endpoint
- Psychometric properties of the Obstetric Quality of Recovery-10 (structural validity, measurement invariance, reliability, construct validity, interpretability)
- Follow-up
- 0-2, 3-7, or 8-30 days postpartum
Methodological detailsSOCRATES cohort, national multilingual cohort, 3 postpartum periods (0-2, 3-7, 8-30 days)
- SOCRATES cohort
- National multilingual cohort
- 3 postpartum periods (0-2, 3-7, 8-30 days)
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
- Reliability good (Cronbach's alpha)
- 0.83-0.86
- Correlation with EuroQol 5-Dimensions 5-Levels: strong at 0-2 days, moderate thereafter (Spearman correlation)
- −0.51 to −0.30
- Known-groups validity: significantly lower scores with poorer health status, PPH, and operative vaginal or caesarean delivery
- all P < 0.001
