Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work was to develop a French version of an English quality of life questionnaire specific of endometriosis: endometriosis health profile 5. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After many translations and reverse translations, we got a first French version of EHP 5. This scale was then distributed in two centres: Poissy and Versailles. This questionnaire was completed by women with endometriosis proven and chronic pain. We studied acceptability and feasibility. RESULTS: Eighteen patients were included. All items have been completed satisfactorily. Our version was described as understandable and easy to complete. CONCLUSION: Our work consisted in developing a French version of EHP 5 which was very well received by the patient. However, the psychometric and clinical validation remains to be done.
