Abstract

Context-The Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale-59 Items Revised (MTSOSD-59R) is a validated self-reported scale assessing patients' subjective experiences of adverse effects of immunosuppressants. It has been reported that the scale should be adapted and validated before it is used in patients of a different cultural (Brazilian, Dutch, German, French, Hindi, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish) background.
