They will also be asked to report weight, length, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, socioeconomic situation, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and BMI as well as certain questions with relation to Quality of Life and their postoperative recovery (Appendix I). The questions are to some extent validated through previous research (28, 29, 32, 47, 48) but some questions are newly constructed. The new questions have been constructed by an expert panel consisting of colorectal and general surgeons, cardiologist and specialized nurses. The domains chosen have been related to previous research regarding recovery (42). The questionnaire has been face-to face validated by patients with gall bladder surgery planned or a previous cholecystectomy performed, patients with breast cancer both prior and after surgery and colorectal cancer patients prior and after surgery using the same validation methods previously described for prostate cancer (48).
