Influence of Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePROMs) in Surgical Therapy for Prostate Cancer on Postoperative Outcome
Sponsor: Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf
Summary
The study investigates the influence of structured follow-up using ePROMS in the 1st year after prostatectomy on the postoperative course. It will be examined whether this intervention leads to early detection of postoperative symptoms and whether the subsequent initiation of further measures lead to an improvement of incontinence, symptom burden, quality of life and patient competence.

Interventions
complex intervention
The intervention has several elements: 1. Regular symptom monitoring via ePROMs 2. Alarm when defined thresholds of EPIC-26 or PHQ-4 are reached or exceeded, 3.) In case of alarm, standardized telephone contact by a study nurse at the treating center with the offer to coordinate a urological consultation at the center, 4.) if requested by the patient: a urological consultation at the treating prostate cancer center by urologists trained in the PRO-P study, 4\) content of the consultation: if necessary, the guideline-compliant initiation of further diagnostics and therapy including in this context necessary follow-up contacts and 5) postal communication of the ePROM results in case of an alarm as well as postal dispatch of a report of the findings in case of a urological consultation at the treating prostate cancer center to the practicing, treating urologist.
