Pad Weight, Pad Number and Incontinence-Related Patient-Reported Outcome Measures After Radical Prostatectomy

Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between 3- and 6-week postoperative 24-hour pad weight, daily number, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires for Male Lower Urinary Tract (ICIQ-MLUTS), ICIQ-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) UCLA Prostate Cancer Index (UCLA-PCI) in patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Methods: This prospective study included RARP February November 2019. Patients completed a test, assessing weight 3 validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs); ICIQ-MLUTS, ICIQ-SF UCLA-PCI, preoperatively at 6 weeks postoperatively. Results: A total of 47 were study. There was strong (r = 0.71, P < 0.001) 0.68, 0.001). ICIQ-MLUTS incontinence 0.80, 0.01) QoL burden 0.79, weeks. moderate UCLA-PCI urinary function 0.58, 0.66, The number weak 0.34, Conclusion: PROMs may be used as substitute test post-prostatectomy (PPI) assessments early post-RARP period. scores correlate with weight. However, provide strongest PPI.
