ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We measured changes in self-reported health and symptoms attributable to rectal prolapse surgery using patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures.METHODS:
A prospectively recruited cohort of patients scheduled for rectal prolapse repair in Vancouver, Canada between 2013 and 2021 were surveyed before and 6-months after surgery using seven PROs the EuroQol Five-Dimension Instrument (EQ-5D-5L), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Pain Intensity, Interference with Enjoyment of Life and General Activity (PEG), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI), Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI), and the Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (FIQL).RESULTS:
We included 46 participants who reported improvements in health status (EQ-5D-5L; p â< â0.01), pain interference (PEG; p â< â0.01), depressive symptoms (PHQ-9; p â= â0.01), fecal incontinence severity (FISI; p â< â0.01), gastrointestinal quality of life (GIQLI; p â< â0.01), and fecal incontinence quality of life (FIQL) related to lifestyle (p â= â0.02), coping and behaviour (p â= â0.02) and depression and self-perception (p â= â0.01).CONCLUSION:
Surgical repair of rectal prolapse improved patients' quality of life with meaningful improvements in fecal incontinence severity and pain, and symptom interference with daily activities.Palabras clave
