Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used to Assess Surgical Interventions for Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Stress Urinary Incontinence and Mesh Complications: A Scoping Review for the Development of the APPRAISE PROM.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This scoping review was undertaken as part of an NIHR-commissioned study, APPRAISE, to develop a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and experience measure (PREM) to assess outcomes relevant to surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic mesh complications surgery, with cross-cultural applicability.

Objectives

To identify PROMs and PREMs used to assess POP, SUI and mesh complication surgery; to compare the length, recall periods, response options of these tools and the outcomes/experiences assessed.

Search strategy

Three databases searched from inception to September 2023 were screened by two independent reviewers.

Selection criteria

Primary studies using subjective measures to assess POP, SUI and mesh co
