French validation of the FACE‐Q Rhinoplasty module

Abstract

Objectives The aim of this study was to translate the FACE‐Q "Rhinoplasty" module into French and validate its use for the French‐speaking population. Design "Satisfaction with the nose" and "Satisfaction with nostrils" questionnaires were used and translated. Settings We were granted permission to use the FACE‐Q rhinoplasty module by the development team. These two questionnaires constitute the rhinoplasty module of the FACE‐Q questionnaire. ISPOR and WHO recommendations were used to complete the translation process from English into French in six steps. Main outcome measurement Our goal was to obtain, not a literal translation, but rather a translation of the idea or concept. Results Each step allowed us to make changes to achieve a conceptual translation equivalent to the original version. Conclusion The FACE‐Q questionnaire is a reference in the field of cosmetic surgery outcome evaluation. The use of two validated translation recommendations, with a six‐step translation‐back translation process, leads to a French version corresponding to the original. This version is usable in a French‐speaking population.

Dutch Translation and Validation of the FACE-Q Rhinoplasty Module

“…The reliability of the French-translated questionnaire, as reported by Radulesco et al, was higher for both questionnaires. 18 However, although we found no statistically significant bias between the two time points, the circumstances were quite different: in our study the first measurement was performed in the outpatient area while the second time point was immediately before surgery. Psychological stress at the time of the operation may have influenced these results.…”

“…The translation process and cross-cultural adaptation were conducted in accordance with international translation recommendations by Q-Portfolio with respect to the ISPOR and WHO guidelines and are comparable to the methods other teams used for the translation of the FACE-Q. [18][19][20][21]…”

Cross-cultural adaptation into French and validation of the SCAR-Q questionnaire

“…Our translation process has already been used in other studies [21,22]. It ensures a translation of the idea or concept, more meaningful and accurate than a mere literal translation [23].…”

HPV16 E6/E7 expression in circulating tumor cells in oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers: A pilot study

“…The majority of studies to date have evaluated the utility of circulating HPV DNA as a surveillance tool in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). A recent meta-analysis including 5 studies (n = 600 patients) reports a high pooled estimated specificity in detecting recurrence but an inferior pooled sensitivity [23]. Recent technical advances in detecting circulating DNA might improve the sensitivity [24].…”
