About

A questionnaire that can measure disease severity from the patients perspective in patients with pectus excavatum already exists in English (Pectus Excavatum Evaluation Questionnaire; PEEQ). This questionnaire was recently translated into Dutch. Before this Dutch version can be used, it needs to be tested by a number of patients.

Data will be collected at three moments:

1. Preoperatively: The PEEQ will be completed on paper during the outpatient clinic visit.
2. Postoperatively: The PEEQ will be completed electronically 2 months post-surgery.
3. Test-retest reliability: The PEEQ will be administered electronically at least two weeks after a previous assessment.

Enrollment: 66 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12 to 18 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
