Abstract:
Methods of construction and required metrologic properties of quality of life scales are reviewed while looking for such tools in the field of urinary tract infections. To capture the subjectivity of patients, to reach a simple measure scale, to build a reliable tool, are conflicting aims. Although they appeared several years ago and are broadly spread in all medical fields, including urology, quality of life scales are still in early ages and are not always widely admitted. Quality of life scales can be criticized, but they capture specific data and are very useful in some fields. Today, there are no quality of life scales in the field of urinary infectiology.
