Bladder cancer population | Best performing PROM using COSMIN | Further information | Alternatives | Further information |
---|---|---|---|---|
All (or a variety of stages/grades) | BCI | Suggested that BCI is used alongside generic and/or cancer‐generic PROMs as interpretation can be difficult | FACT‐Bl | FACT‐Bl can be used to collect BC‐specific and cancer‐generic HRQL information, as the PROM includes FACT‐G |
MIBC | FACT‐VCI |
FACT‐VCI can be used to collect BC‐specific and cancer‐generic HRQL information, as the PROM includes FACT‐G FACT‐VCI is only suitable to use with MIBC patients who have had a cystectomy |
EORTC QLQ‐BLM30 |
EORTC QLQ‐BLM30 can be used to collect BC‐specific and cancer‐generic HRQL information, as the PROM can be used with EORTC QLQ‐C30 EORTC QLQ‐BLM30 is suitable to use with both cystectomy and conservative treatment patients |
IONB‐PRO | IONB‐PRO is only suitable to use with patients who have a neobladder | |||
NMIBC | Difficult to determine as CAVICAVENMI only evaluated in one study and both EORTC QLQ‐NMIBC24 and CAVICAVENMI scored well | EORTC QLQ‐NMIBC24 can be used to collect BC‐specific and cancer‐generic HRQL information, as the PROM can be used with EORTC QLQ‐C30 | CAVICAVENMI | CAVICAVENMI incorporates both BC‐specific and cancer‐generic questions within fewer items than the combination of EORTC QLQ‐C30 and EORTC QLQ‐NMIBC24 |
