Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Protocol 2/Recall Study

This protocol is part of an overall effort to create a state-of-the-art resource for measuring patient-reported health for patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). The primary purpose of this resource, known as the LURN PRO Battery, is to comprehensively characterize the self-reported experiences of patients with LUTD for the purpose of enhancing efforts to characterize and explain important subtypes of patients with LUTD (phenotypes). Secondary purposes of the LURN PRO Battery, for which additional development work will be required, include developing better patient-reported endpoints for clinical trials, monitoring symptoms in the course of clinical care, and screening patients into important subgroups for purposes of tailored interventions. Incorporating methods the investigators have used successfully in prior measure validation work, the investigators propose to conduct a diary study in which patients record their symptoms at various time points - at the end of each day, or across multiple days. The investigators also ask them to complete self-report measures with different recall periods (i.e., 3-day, 7-day, and 30-day recall), and will determine how well each of these correspond to daily experiences recorded in more frequent assessments (i.e., end-of-day and 3-day patient bladder diaries). These data will help LURN investigators to determine the most appropriate reporting period for specific symptoms. This study can also help to identify causes of differences that exist between shorter and longer recall periods.
