Public Interest in Online Information on Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections Is Greatest for Information with the Poorest Publication Quality.

: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections. With many patients turning to the Internet as a health resource, this study seeks to understand public engagement with online resources concerning recurrent UTIs (rUTIs), assess their reliability, and identify common questions/concerns about rUTIs. : Social media analysis tool BuzzSumo was used to calculate online engagement (likes, shares, comments, views) with information on rUTIs.

Evaluating the quality of life impact of recurrent urinary tract infection: Validation and refinement of the Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire (RUTIIQ).

Background And Aims: Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) has significant negative consequences for a wide variety of quality of life (QoL) domains. Without adequate validation and assessment of the unique insights of people living with rUTI, clinical results cannot be fully understood. The Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire (RUTIIQ), a novel patient-reported outcome measure of rUTI psychosocial impact, has been robustly developed with extensive patient and clinician input to facilitate enhanced rUTI management and research.

Confirmatory structural validation and refinement of the Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Symptom Scale.

Objectives: To confirm the structural validity of the Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Symptom Scale (RUTISS), determining whether a bifactor model appropriately fits the questionnaire's structure and identifying areas for refinement. Used in conjunction with established clinical testing methods, this patient-reported outcome measure addresses the urgent need to validate the patient perspective.

Patients And Methods: A clinically and demographically diverse sample of 389 people experiencing recurrent UTI across 37 countries (96.

The Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Symptom Scale: Development and validation of a patient-reported outcome measure.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate a tailored patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) evaluating the patient experience of recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) symptom severity. This measure was designed to supplement clinical testing methods, allowing full assessment of the patient experience of rUTI symptom burden, while enhancing patient-centred UTI management and monitoring.

Subjects And Methods: The Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Symptom Scale (RUTISS) was developed and validated using a three-stage methodology, in accordance with gold-standard recommendations.

Development and psychometric validation of a patient-reported outcome measure of recurrent urinary tract infection impact: the Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire.

Purpose: Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) is a highly prevalent condition associated with significant poor quality of life outcomes. A patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of rUTI-associated psychosocial impact is urgently required to supplement clinical evaluation and validate the challenges experienced by patients. This study therefore developed and validated the Recurrent UTI Impact Questionnaire (RUTIIQ).

Looking at the past through a telescope: adults postdated their earliest childhood memories.

Our previous studies have consistently shown a telescoping error in children's dating of earliest childhood memories. Preschool children through adolescents systematically date their earliest memories at older ages, in comparison with the age estimates provided by their parents or by themselves previously. In the current study, we examined the dating of earliest childhood memories in two samples of college adults and collected independent age estimates from their parents.
