“…This decision was based on the assumption that self-reported symptoms affect quality of life more that urodynamic findings. Furthermore, it has been shown that the association between LUTS and urodynamic findings are poor questioning whether the latter is a clinically valuable outcome measurement [9] .…”

Background/Aims: It has been reported that lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are more prevalent in patients who have undergone hysterectomy. However, the effects of surgical approach of hysterectomy on micturition have not been well documented. The aim of this study is to compare LUTS between patients who underwent vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy. Methods: Prospective observational study among 430 patients undergoing vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy for benign disease other than genital prolapse. Participating patients completed a validated disease-specific questionnaire before surgery, 6 months and 3 years after surgery. Results: 112 women underwent vaginal hysterectomy and 318 abdominal hysterectomy. After correction for differences in uterine size, descent of the uterus and other differences, LUTS were more common at 3 years after surgery following vaginal than following abdominal hysterectomy (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3–4.0). After adjustment for descent of the uterus, uteral size, parity and indication for hysterectomy, this difference was still statistical significant (adjusted OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.4–6.2). Conclusion: As compared to abdominal hysterectomy, LUTS appear to be more common following vaginal hysterectomy.

“…Symptom diaries have good test-retest reliability and provide concrete, objective data allowing the clinician to see the frequency, severity, and provocation of the targeted symptom. [27] This data can be used in clinical practice to add validity to the history interview as well as educate patient’s about behavioral patterns contributing to their symptoms. Symptom diaries are used in research studies to aid in diagnosis, symptom severity, and as a tool standardizing inclusion criteria.…”

Over 10 years have passed since the first US National Institutes of Health consensus panel considered standardization of definitions of pelvic floor conditions and criteria utilized for reporting pelvic floor research study outcomes. The literature is replete with pelvic floor outcome studies; however, a consistent standardized approach to the evaluation of patients and characterization of outcomes is still needed. The purpose of this overview is to describe how the use of outcome measures have evolved over time and attempt to help readers utilize the best measures for their clinical and research needs.
