ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews PRO questionnaires that assist urogynecologists in patient screening, setting realistic patient expectations that lead to goal achievement and assessing satisfaction. Symptom and condition screeners help identify health conditions to identify patients who may benefit from treatment. Patient expectation, goal assessment, and satisfaction questionnaires help clinicians understand the patients' point of view regarding their treatment goals and expectations so that the clinician can enhance the probability of a satisfactory outcome. Other chapters in this section focus on PROs that assess function and health-related quality of life, the development of PROs, and their effective implementation in clinical trials.
