Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Pectus Carinatum Evaluation Questionnaire used in patients with pectus carinatum treated with compression orthosis.

The Turkish version of the PCEQ used in patients with PC treated with compression orthosis was found to have sufficient-to-excellent validity and reliability and could be used to develop a strict program for patients with PC using the orthosis or to improve patients' treatment compliance after treatment initiation. Using this questionnaire may be important to assist the team members in the clinical decision-making process.
