Development of a prototype of a patient-reported outcomes measure for hypospadias care, the Patient Assessment Tool for Hypospadias (PATH)
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for hypospadias care are lacking, and most existing instruments were developed without patient input. The objective of this study was to 1) use our previously developed for concept elicitation in a sample of adolescent and young adult hypospadias patients and 2) develop a new hypospadias PROM. We recruited English-speaking males ages 13–30 living in the United States with a self-reported history of hypospadias through targeted advertisements on Facebook and Instagram from March to June 2022. Using a Qualtrics screening survey ineligible respondents were identified using automated fraud detection and manual review. Consenting participants were sent an electronic containing brief creative writing exercises and multiple-choice scales to facilitate participant reflections about genital appearance, urination, sexual function, and psychosocial well-being. Demographics were summarized using descriptive statistics. Human-centered design researchers synthesized the journals’ key themes to 1) create an affinity diagram with hypospadias-related quality of life (QOL) domains and 2) draft items for the PROM covering each domain and sub-domain. Journal participants were asked to complete a survey to 1) rank hypospadias QOL domains, subdomains, and draft items for the PROM, and 2) explore their preferences for item phrasing. In a small group virtual interview, a urologist and a hypospadias patient reviewed and revised draft PROM items, and a final PROM was created.
