Zusammenfassung

Die einheitliche Erhebung der Behandlungsqualität ist national sowie international Gegenstand von Diskussionen. In dem vorliegenden Artikel stellen wir die Arbeit des „International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement“ (ICHOM) und die validierte deutsche Übersetzung des EPIC-26 („expanded prostate cancer index composite“) vor. Dieser Fragebogen ermöglicht eine einheitliche Erhebung der Behandlungsqualität fächerübergreifend für alle Therapiemodalitäten des lokalisierten Prostatakarzinoms. Mittels des ICHOM-Standardsets und des EPIC-26 wird eine Vergleichsmöglichkeit hinsichtlich der kurativen Erfolge der jeweiligen Therapien und der Effekt auf die Gesundheit und Lebensqualität der Patienten geschaffen.

Abstract

The standardized collation of the quality of treatment is a subject of discussion both nationally and internationally. This article presents the work of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) and the validated German translation of the expanded prostate cancer index composite (EPIC-26). This questionnaire allows a standardized interdisciplinary collation of the quality of treatment for all therapy modalities of localized prostate cancer. Use of the ICHOM standard set and the EPIC-26 achieves a possibility for comparison of each form of therapy with respect to the curative success and the effect on health and quality of life of patients.
