Résumé
Low anterior resection syndrome is common after anterior resection for rectal cancer. Its severity can be tested with the low anterior resection syndrome score. We have translated the low anterior resection syndrome score to Finnish, and the aim of this study is to validate the translation. The translated Finnish low anterior resection syndrome score and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality-of-life questionnaire-C30 and QLQ-CR29 questionnaires were sent to 159 surviving patients operated with anterior resection for rectal adenocarcinoma between 2007 and 2014 in a tertiary referral center. Psychometric properties of the translation were evaluated in comparison to quality-of-life scales and in different risk factor groups. In the study, 104 (65%) patients returned the questionnaires. Of these, 56 (54%) had major low anterior resection syndrome, 26 (25%) had minor low anterior resection syndrome, and 22 (21%) had no low anterior resection syndrome. Patients with major low anterior resection syndrome had a significantly lower quality of life and more defecatory symptoms as assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires compared with those with no low anterior resection syndrome. Patients operated with total mesorectal excision had significantly higher low anterior resection syndrome scores compared with those operated with partial mesorectal excision (median/interquartile range 32/15 and 29/11, respectively, The Finnish low anterior resection syndrome score is a valid test in the assessment of postoperative bowel function and its impact on the quality of life. It can be implemented to use during regular follow-up visits of Finnish-speaking rectal cancer patients.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
OBJECTIVE
Low anterior resection syndrome is common after anterior resection for rectal cancer. Its severity can be tested with the low anterior resection syndrome score. We have translated the low anterior resection syndrome score to Finnish, and the aim of this study is to validate the translation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
METHODS
The translated Finnish low anterior resection syndrome score and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality-of-life questionnaire-C30 and QLQ-CR29 questionnaires were sent to 159 surviving patients operated with anterior resection for rectal adenocarcinoma between 2007 and 2014 in a tertiary referral center. Psychometric properties of the translation were evaluated in comparison to quality-of-life scales and in different risk factor groups.
RESULTS
RESULTS
In the study, 104 (65%) patients returned the questionnaires. Of these, 56 (54%) had major low anterior resection syndrome, 26 (25%) had minor low anterior resection syndrome, and 22 (21%) had no low anterior resection syndrome. Patients with major low anterior resection syndrome had a significantly lower quality of life and more defecatory symptoms as assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires compared with those with no low anterior resection syndrome. Patients operated with total mesorectal excision had significantly higher low anterior resection syndrome scores compared with those operated with partial mesorectal excision (median/interquartile range 32/15 and 29/11, respectively,
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
The Finnish low anterior resection syndrome score is a valid test in the assessment of postoperative bowel function and its impact on the quality of life. It can be implemented to use during regular follow-up visits of Finnish-speaking rectal cancer patients.
