Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
test-retest reproducibility	2 to 3 days between fulfillment of the questionnaire	In most questions of the polish version of FIGO Nutrition Checklist the test-retest reproducibility was very good or excellent. Number patients who changed answers between the first and the second asssesment varied from 0 to 12.5%. The minimum-0% and maximum values-100%. The differences were not statistically significant (McNemar's test)
