“…Further, Wild et al [52] published results of a study using a questionnaire named "Assessing the Impairment of the physical Activity (AIA)" for the symptoms of AC. Although UTISA and AIA were developed by the same research team, studies on these 2 questionnaires were performed and published separately, and important statistical information like sensitivity, specificity, responsiveness, and discriminative abilities have not been reported for both together.…”

Background and Objectives: Acute uncomplicated cystitis (AC) is common among women. Acute onset of specific typical symptoms may serve as reliable criteria for developing a cost-effective strategy to make an accurate diagnosis of AC. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic values of most common symptoms and signs of AC depending on their presence and severity. Methods: The current trial was designed as a case-control study. Data derived from the Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) database were analyzed. Diagnostic values of the symptoms and their severity were assessed via the calculations of the sensitivity and specificity, odds ratio, positive and negative likelihood ratios. The strength of associations was estimated by the coefficient of correlation (Pearson’s R). Results: Data from 819 female subjects (423 Patients, 396 controls) with the mean age of 37.1 ± 15.3 were analyzed. Highest diagnostic values for AC in this study belonged to dysuria, urgency, and frequency. Interestingly, complaints of vaginal discharge was not found to decrease the odds for having AC in the study population. Conclusions: The severity of the symptom is even more essential than just its presence for an accurate diagnosis. The ACSS is an accurate tool and may be recommended for clinical practice and studies for diagnosis of AC in women. Further studies and unification of terms are need.

“…In order to assess the psychometrics, the following measures were administered along with the validation ready version of the TRIM-HYPO: Sheehan Disability Scale [15], Psychological General Well-Being Index [16], Medical Outcomes Sleep Subscale [17], Activity Impairment Assessment [18], Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Specific Health Problem (Version 2.0) [19], Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire: HYPO Control Domain [20], UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) [21], Fatigue Symptom Inventory [22], Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Short Form) [23], and Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (Version II) [24]. Participants were also asked to complete a brief demographic and diabetes history survey.…”

“…Parallel wurden in den letzten Jahren verschiedene Initiativen gestartet, um die Diagnostik weiter zu vereinfachen und den Schweregrad der akuten unkomplizierten HWI zu erfassen. So wurden verschiedene Fragebögen untersucht, Miktionstagebücher evaluiert und Indexfragen formuliert, um die Auswirkungen der HWI auf die Symptome und Lebensqualität der Betroffenen zu untersuchen [7,16,19,21,28]. Ein solcher Fragebogen ist der ACSS.…”
