Validity of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sexual Interest and Satisfaction Measures in Men Following Radical Prostatectomy

摘要

Patient-reported outcomes after radical prostatectomy have focused on erectile function. To date, no studies have validated the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sexual Interest and Satisfaction single item measures in patients with prostate cancer, nor have studies examined how these measures relate to erectile function. In addition, data are lacking with regard to the clinical responsiveness of these measures to treatment. We sought to validate and examine the clinical utility of these measures in men after radical prostatectomy.
