The measurement of the patient-reported outcomes has been increasing its importance in Cosmetic and Reconstructive surgery. The aim of this study is to develop a new instrument to measure Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) to assess the results that are unique to Plastic Surgery patients of Spanish language A conceptual framework was developed, based on a literature review, focus groups, interviews with patients, thus creating a list of items for an initial questionnaire. This questionnaire items were removed when looking confused and then was reviewed by the focus group and tested on a small sample of patients, which eliminated irrelevant items, unclear or offensive. The revised questionnaire was tested with 240 patients from a public hospital and 4 private offices of plastic surgeons in Spain. Another 40 patients not exposed to surgery were selected for the test-retest. There were traditional psychometric analyzes followed the procedures and criteria currently recommended to allow for comparisons with other existing tools. Factorial analysis showed up to 5 underlying factors, but the large correlations among them confused, so for clinical consistency was considered a single factor that would include the concept of HRQL of Plastic Surgery. The results confirmed the validity, reliability, acceptability and sensitivity to changes in questionnaire. In conclusion, the Ca-Cip 31 is a new HRQL instrument in Spanish for patients who undergo Plastic Surgery, valid, reliable and responsiveness, which is useful for use before and after surgery and able to discriminate patients from other types of surgery, suitable for use in clinical and observational and experimental studies.
