To develop and to validate the Spanish version of the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ). Describe the prevalence of symptoms associated with the presence of ureteral stent in a Spanish-speaking population.
We developed and delivered the Spanish USSQ version to patients who underwent ureteral stent placement after endourological procedures. We determined the internal consistency and the instrument's sensitivity to change. Results of the patients were compared with a control group of healthy individuals. We analyzed the prevalence of symptoms in the six domains of the questionnaire and the overall quality of life. We compared the means of the results by gender to find significant differences in associated symptoms.
We obtained good internal consistency values of the instrument. Significant differences were obtained after sensitivity to change analysis in the scores of all domains except sexual performance. The correlation between the domains of urinary symptoms, pain, and general health was high. The analysis of specific symptoms showed important affection in all domains, being more significant in urinary symptoms and pain. The ureteral catheter also affected the daily life and work performance. There were no significant differences when comparing the symptoms by gender or age.
Spanish version of the USSQ is appropriate for assessing the symptoms associated with ureteral stent in the Spanish-speaking population. The ureteral catheter significantly affects the various aspects of life in this population.
开发并验证西班牙语版输尿管支架症状问卷（USSQ）。描述西班牙语人群中与输尿管支架存在相关的症状的流行情况。
我们为接受内镜下手术后放置输尿管支架的患者开发并提供了西班牙语版 USSQ。我们确定了内部一致性和仪器对变化的敏感性。将患者的结果与健康对照组进行比较。我们分析了问卷六个领域的症状和整体生活质量的流行情况。我们比较了性别结果的平均值，以发现相关症状的显著差异。
我们获得了仪器良好的内部一致性值。除了性行为表现外，在变化敏感性分析后，所有领域的评分均获得了显著差异。尿症状、疼痛和一般健康状况之间的各领域相关性较高。特定症状的分析表明，所有领域都受到了重要影响，在尿症状和疼痛方面更为显著。输尿管导管还影响日常生活和工作表现。在按性别或年龄比较症状时，没有发现显著差异。
西班牙语版 USSQ 适合评估西班牙语人群中与输尿管支架相关的症状。输尿管导管在该人群的生活的各个方面都有显著影响。
