Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the study is to translate the Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ) into Spanish and evaluate the feasibility and reliability of the Spanish-translated AVVQ in patients with chronic venous disease.
Methods: Reliability was assessed by test and retest of the Spanish translated AVVQ in a sample of 77 patients. The questionnaires were answered within a 2-week interval.
Results: There was a 100% test and retest response. The AVVQ showed 6.5% of missing responses. Cronbach's alpha was 0.71 indicating an adequate level of internal consistency. Spearman's rho showed a significant strong association between test and retest scores (rho = 0.84, < 0.0001).
Conclusions: The Spanish-translated AVVQ is a reliable tool in our daily clinical practice in order to measure the impact of venous disease in the quality of life.
