- description
- A validated SCOFF questionnaire will be self-administered to patients attending their first preoperative bariatric surgery appointment. The SCOFF questionnaire is a simple 5-question test developed to assess the possible presence of an eating disorder. The S in SCOFF stands for "sick" (to vomit). The O stands for "one stone" of weight (i.e., 6.35 kg). The letters C, F and F stand for "control", "fat" and "food" respectively. Although the SCOFF is not used for diagnostic purposes, a score of 2 or more positive answers raises the index of suspicion of eating disorders, highlighting the need for a more detailed psychological history .The SCOFF has been previously validated in Arab populations.
