PURPOSE: The definition of @entity1118 after inguinal hernioplasty and the methods of its assessment vary a great deal, which make it complicated to conduct meta-analyses. The primary aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate at which @entity158 severity degree the quality-of-life scores will be reduced. METHOD: A prospective study of @entity1 operated for inguinal @entity547 was conducted. @entity158 questionnaire and a quality-of-life (QoL) questionnaire were completed. RESULTS: Altogether, 370 @entity1 were investigated and included in analysis. Of them, 33.8% experienced @entity158 during different activities. Compared to the non- @entity158 response group, significantly lower QoL scores for the @entity158 domain were reported by @entity1 who gave 1, 2, or 3 positive responses to the @entity158 questionnaire. @entity1 with no @entity158 as well as @entity1 who gave 1 positive response to the @entity158 questionnaire and whose VAS score was <= 20 had similar QoL scores for all domains. @entity1 who gave 1 positive response to the @entity158 questionnaire and whose VAS score was >20, and @entity1 who gave two or more positive responses to the @entity158 questionnaire, showed significantly lower QoL scores in most of the domains compared with the non- @entity158 group. When the @entity1 who gave 1 positive response to the @entity158 questionnaire and whose VAS score was <= 20 were excluded from the group of @entity1 with @entity158 , the rate of @entity1118 was 19.7%. Considering the above result, the reduction in the rate of @entity1118 from 33.8 to 19.7% was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: @entity158 scores 20  mm or less on the VAS (0 to 100  mm) have no impact on the @entity1 ' quality of life. Uniform assessment methods of @entity1118 should be developed to improve the quality of research.
