APPRAISE study

UK Healthcare Professionals for Research Interviews. Are you involved in using or analysing PROMs in urogynaecological clinical care or research? Your insights matter and could help enhance care for women experiencing pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, pelvic mesh complications

Congratulations to Dr Tom Curtis for Best Oral Presentation at the BSUG Annual Research Meeting for his presentation English Language PROMs in Mesh Complication Surgery: A Systematic Review, highlighting key findings from the extensive APPRAISE review @APPRAISE_study

Once you have completed the 1st survey, we will send you the follow up one survey 1 week later via email :)

Have you had surgery for prolapse, urinary incontinence or mesh complications between 6 months and 14 years ago? We are recruiting women to complete a survey about their quality of life twice, one week apart. appraise.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3d… Thank you, the APPRAISE team

Today we attended the RCOG World Congress in London where Professor Georgina Jones presented the APPRAISE study protocol👩‍💻🙋‍♀️

Last week, we attended the 9th UK PROMS Conference at the University of Birmingham. @MolliePrice94 presented the findings from work package 2 of the APPRAISE study, which assessed the user acceptability and translatability of the APPRAISE PROM👩‍🏫

We are now over 2 weeks into APPRAISE study WP3&4 and are delighted to have received such a fantastic response to the questionnaire. A huge thank you to everyone who has taken time to complete it and for supporting our study, and to the 21 NHS sites for their recruitment efforts

Have you had surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence or mesh complications? Are you a UK adult aged 16+? We are recruiting women to complete a questionnaire about the impact of this surgery upon their quality of life: leedsbeckettpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6u…

We are pleased to have 21 NHS sites supporting us with recruitment for this stage of the study. Huge thank you to all the clinical teams for your support. 😊

In these work packages, we will be conducting 4 patient surveys to test the psychometrics of the PROM in the context of both short-term and long-term surgical outcomes, as well as within a clinical trial. (2/3)

This week we began work package 3&4 of the APPRAISE study, the next stage of development and testing of the new APPRAISE PROM. 🎉 (1/3)

We also sought valuable additional feedback from our PPI panel and patient advocacy group reps. Thank you once again to all of our participants and everyone working with us to help develop the APPRAISE PROM. (3/3)

We worked with a PROM translation and linguistic validation expert and a team of translators to ensure the PROM has cross-cultural applicability and can be easily translated into other languages. (2/3)

We are pleased to have completed work package 2 of the APPRAISE study. ✅ We completed 27 cognitive interviews with patients to assess the user acceptability of the first version of the new PROM, and a further 9 follow-up interviews following modifications to the PROM. (1/3)
