“…The psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the USS-PROM are comparable to those of the British version and its current translations, although some remarkable differences were encountered [13][14][15][16][17]. In this study, there was no statistical significant correlation between LUTS scores and maximum flow rates.…”

“…Furthermore, the USS-PROM provides the ability to compare surgical outcomes between subsets of patients, between stricture location or etiology, between surgical techniques, between surgeons, between urethroplasty centers, etc. This comparison enables a critical view upon current surgical procedures and will lead to a higher quality of care [15,17]. Given this background, a Dutch version of the British USS-PROM was validated in order to obtain better evaluation of Dutch-speaking patients.…”

“…The first 14 questions are similar to the questionnaire of Jackson et al [13]. Furthermore, a question about urge incontinence (question 15) and the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction short form (MSHQ-EjD short form; question [16][17][18][19] were added [22]. The rationale of the addition of questions 15-19 was that previous research revealed on impact of urethral stricture and subsequent urethroplasty on urge and ejaculatory function, although this is not addressed in USS-PROM by Jackson et al [13].…”

“…Internal consistency is the extent to which questions within the same construct actually cover the same concept: Cronbach's α and item-total correlations were quantified for the LUTS score (question 1-6) and the summative MSHQ-EjD short form score (question [16][17][18]. A threshold of respectively >0.70 and 0.20 was predefined for acceptability.…”

“…The questionnaire endeavors to assess condition-specific quality of life as well as health-related quality of life. Meanwhile, similar versions of the PROM have been translated in Italian, German, Russian, and Spanish [14][15][16][17].…”

Purpose: The study aimed to translate the Urethral Stricture Surgery Patient Reported Outcome Measures (USS-PROM) questionnaire in Dutch. To validate this translated questionnaire, the study evaluates its psychometric properties in a different population, a different environment, and a different health care system. Questions about urinary incontinence and sexual functioning were added. Materials and Methods: Between December 2014 and January 2017, Dutch-speaking adult men scheduled for urethroplasty at Ghent University Hospital were prospectively enrolled in this study. Patients completed the USS-PROM before surgery, 3-6 months after surgery, and 1 year after surgery. Psychometric criteria included content validity, criterion validity, internal consistency, reproducibility, responsiveness, and floor and ceiling effects. (EC/2014/0438). Results: A total of 100 patients were included, 39 patients completed both the preoperative and the postoperative questionnaire, and 30 patients completed the USS-PROM twice within a short period of time in order to evaluate test-retest reliability. Pearson correlation coefficients showed no statistical significant correlation between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) scores and maximum flow rates. Cronbach's α was 0.81 and 0.89, respectively, for the LUTS score and the summative Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction short form (MSHQ-EjD short form) score. The intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.72 to 0.94. Significant changes were observed in all items except the MSHQ-EjD short form scores. All values exceeded the predefined thresholds. Conclusions: The Dutch version of the USS-PROM has adequate psychometric properties and is a valid instrument to assess patient-reported outcome measures in men undergoing urethroplasty.
