To assess health-related quality of life, and the impact of night-time incontinence and chronic urinary retention on health-related quality of life in women with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder.The study included 74 women who underwent radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder, and completed 1 year of follow up. Health-related quality of life was evaluated using the questionnaires of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy bladder cancer-specific form. Health-related quality of life was compared with an age-matched control group. The impact of night-time incontinence and chronic urinary retention on health-related quality of life was assessed.The study group included 18 completely continent patients with spontaneous voiding, 29 with night-time incontinence and 27 with chronic urinary retention. The study group was statistically significantly lower in all domains of health-related quality of life than the control group. In all domains of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy bladder cancer-specific form, completely continent women were comparable with those with chronic urinary retention. Women with night-time incontinence had a significantly worse health-related quality of life than completely continent women, shown by the mean global health score (P = 0.038), social functioning score (P = 0.012), pain European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of Life Questionnaire score (P = 0.04), and functional well-being Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy bladder cancer-specific form (P = 0.049) score.After radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder in women, health-related quality of life is lower than that of the normal population. Night-time incontinence has a negative impact on social life and most domains of health-related quality of life. Thus, night-time incontinence has a higher social impact than chronic urinary retention. |
