Additional assessment of Acute Cystitis Symptom Score questionnaire for patient-reported outcome measure in female patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis: part II.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Since symptomatic, non-antibiotic therapy has become an alternative approach to treat acute cystitis (AC) in women, suitable patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) are urgently needed. The aim of this part II of a larger non-interventional, case-control study was the additional assessment of the ACSS as a suitable PROM.

Methods

Data from 134 female patients with diagnosed acute uncomplicated cystitis were included in the current analysis with (1) a summary score of "Typical" domain of 6 and more; (2) at least one follow-up evaluation after the baseline visit; (3) no missing values in the ACSS questionnaire data. Six different predefined thresholds based on the scoring of the ACSS items were evaluated to define "clinical cure", also considering the draft FDA and EMA
