Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are the outcomes of the questionnaires used as follows. For the exact content of the questionnaires we refer to section F1. All the used questionnaires (including the quality of life questionnaire mentioned in the secondary study parameters/endpoints) are used in international studies, are validated in Dutch, and cross-culturally normed. For these questionnaires, cut-off values are available in defining what is normal and what is *sexual dysfunction*. For female patients: - Female sexual function index (FSFI): 19 items about sexual function. - Female sexual distress scale (FSDS): 12 items about sexual distress. For male patients: - International index of erectile function (IIEF): 15 items about sexual function and distress combined. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome parameters are to assess the disease-specific quality of life in these patients, and to recruit a sounding board in providing the most optimal information for future patients. This information will be obtained through the following questionnaires. For all patients: - Hirschsprung*s disease and Anorectal malformation Quality of Life questionnaire (HAQL): o For patients without a stoma: 51 items about miction, defecation, and quality of life. o For patients with a stoma: 33 items about miction and stoma function, and quality of life. - A short self-developed questionnaire about satisfaction on the education patients received on possible sexual problems: 6 items. Patient characteristics from responders and non-responders will be obtained from the medical records and will be compared. The results of the sexual function questionnaires of patients with a low anorectal malformation will be compared to those with a high malformation (according to the Krickenbeck classification). For Hirschsprung*s disease, the same will be done for patients with short segment vs. long segment + total aganglionosis. | — |
