Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyValidation of the activities assessment scale in women undergoing pelvic reconstructive surgery.
The Activities Assessment Scale (AAS) is a 13-item postoperative functional activity scale validated in men who underwent hernia surgery. We evaluated the psychometric characteristics of the AAS in women who underwent vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). ⋯ The AAS is a valid, reliable, and responsive measure for evaluation of physical function in women after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
