Validation of the Short Form of the "Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Treatment Constraints Assessment" Questionnaire

For many years, the evaluation of treatments has been a central issue in patient care. The various domains assessed have gradually evolved over time, ranging from satisfaction, improvement and quality of life, to the more recent introduction of the Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM). These questionnaires or measurement scales (PROMs) focus assessment on the patient and his or her direct experience. Statistical validation of numerous assessment tools has made it possible to quantify objectively many areas of assessment that were initially linked to the patient's feelings, and therefore to their subjectivity. Thus, improvement, quality of life, patient expectations and goal attainment have been the preferred areas for the development of these PROMs. However, certain areas have been sidelined in the creation of these tools. For example, the constraint of care or the side effects or negative effects of care have not been studied through specific means of evaluation. In response to this shortcoming, we have developed a questionnaire specifically designed for neuro-urological treatments in a neurological patient population. The LUTS-TCA (Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Treatment Constraints Assessment) was developed in French and statistically validated in 2019. The aim of the study is to create a short form of the LUTS TCA in French, in a population of neurological patients. This short form, which would be easier to use and interpret, would simplify its use in everyday prac…
