Abstract

Objective: To determine the COMQ-12 score in an adult population without active COM.

Design: Analysis of COMQ-12 scores in participants without active COM.

Setting: East Anglia, United Kingdom.

Participants: 70 healthy volunteers recruited from two local hospitals.

Main outcome measures: COMQ-12.

Results: The median COMQ-12 score overall was two and the modal score was 0 with 27 (39%) participants achieving this score.

Conclusion: We recommend that the 'normal' values defined in this study be seriously considered before contemplating intervention, especially when patients with low scores are considered for surgery.
