Objective: The Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) was developed and validated as a self-reporting questionnaire for diagnosing and monitoring acute, uncomplicated cystitis (AC) in female patients. The study aims at the translation of the ACSS into Greek from original Russian as a source and American English as a new master version and at its linguistic validation. Material and Methods: Three independent professional native Greek translators, two of them experts in Russian and one in English, translated the ACSS from Russian and American English into Greek. The second group of three translators translated each of the three versions back into the original language to detect or correct any important discrepancies. These three Greek versions were then used for linguistic validation. Results: The English to Greek translation reflected more the spoken language, the two Russian to Greek translations more the written, formal language. A total of 60 randomly selected females and 30 healthcare professionals was asked about their preferences and to comment on each of the three translations. Considering all comments the scientific committee (SC) developed the Greek consensus version. For cognitive assessment additional 30 healthcare professionals and 30 females were asked to comment on the intelligibility of all items. Considering their comments the linguistically validated Greek study version was established by the SC. Conclusion: The linguistically validated Greek version of the ACSS can now be used for the clinical validation study.

Self Reporting Questionnaire

Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) is an 18-item self-reporting questionnaire for clinical diagnosis and follow-up of acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC) in women. The ACSS, originally developed in Uzbek and Russian languages, is now available in several languages. The purpose of the study was to validate the ACSS questionnaire in the Italian language. Linguistic validation was carried out according to Linguistic Validation Manual for Patient-Reported Outcomes Instruments guidelines. Clinical validation was carried out by enrolling one hundred Italian-speaking women. All women were asked to fill in the ACSS questionnaire during their medical visit. Fifty-four women, median age 36 (Inter Quartile Range 28–49), were diagnosed with AUC, while 46 women, median age 38 (IQR 29–45), were enrolled as the control group attending the hospital’s fertility center for couples. The most frequently isolated pathogen in AUC was Escherichia coli (40; 74.0%) followed by Enterococcus faecalis (7; 13.0%) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (3; 5.6%). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis performed at the first diagnostic visit on a typical symptoms domain cut-off score of 6 revealed a sensitivity of 92.5% and specificity of 97.8%. The Italian version of the ACSS has proved to be a reliable tool with a high accuracy in diagnosis and follow-up in women with AUC. The ACSS may also be useful for clinical and epidemiological studies.

Was ist neu? Asymptomatische Bakteriurie Laut der neuen Leitlinie soll der Begriff „asymptomatische“ Harnwegsinfektion nicht mehr verwendet werden. Es wird zwischen einer symptomatischen Harnwegsinfektion und der asymptomatischen Bakteriurie unterschieden. Diagnostik Anamnesetools, wie gezielte Fragen zur klinischen Symptomatik oder auch der „acute cystitis symptom score“ (ACSS) können hilfreich sein. Bei typischer Anamnese ist die Durchführung des Urinstatus verzichtbar, da er nicht zur weiteren Erhöhung der Diagnosesicherheit beiträgt. Therapie Harnwegsinfektionen sind ein häufiger Grund für Antibiotikaverschreibungen. Die neue Richtlinie berücksichtigt daher eine kritischere Diagnosestellung und die Notwendigkeit der rationalen Antibiotikatherapie („Antibiotic Stewardship“), u. a. auch die gezieltere Abgrenzung der asymptomatischen Bakteriurie von der symptomatischen Harnwegsinfektion. Neu aufgenommen in die Erstlinienempfehlungen wurde das Antibiotikum Nitroxolin. Das bereits zur Therapie der ersten Wahl empfohlene Pivmecillinam ist nun in Deutschland zugelassen. In die Antibiotikaempfehlungen wurden Gewichtungen hinsichtlich Eradikationsrate, Empfindlichkeit, Kollateralschäden und Sicherheit/Nebenwirkungen aufgenommen mit dem Ziel einer individuelleren Therapiewahl. Die symptomatische Therapie mit Ibuprofen kann nach Abwägung im Arzt-Patientengespräch eine nicht-antibiotische Therapiealternative darstellen. Prophylaxe Der Stellenwert der Immunprophylaxe wurde neu in die Leitlinien aufgenommen und bewertet.

The Impact

Abstract PurposeThe Activity Impairment Assessment (AIA) is a 5 items questionnaire exploring the impact of acute cystitis on daily activities. It’s a self-administrated tool easy to use in primary care studies. The purpose of this study is to translate and validate a French version of the AIA: the AIA-fr.MethodsWe use a forward-backward translation before to analyze the psychometric properties of the French version. We proceeded to a quantitative, prospective, observational multicentric study. King Health Questionnaire and Ditrovie scale were used to determine convergent and divergent validity. Following an inclusion visit, each file was completed by the patient on day 0, 3 and 5.ResultsFifty-two files were received by the investigator of which two empty files. In the end, 50 files were included in the study. There was a 100% response rate for the AIA-fr on days 0, 3 and 5. Cronbach’s alpha was calculated at 0.87 with a 95% confidence interval between 0.78 and 0.92. We found that this coefficient was not improved by removing one of the items (Cronbach’s alpha 0.81–0.87). There is a negative correlation (p = 0.01 Rs = − 0.35) between the total AIA-fr score and the number of days between symptom onset and consultation (day 0). This implies that the higher the AIA-fr score the sooner women will seek medical care.ConclusionsThe French version of the AIA is a psychometrically acceptable self-report questionnaire for measuring the impact of acute cystitis on daily activities. It’s the first French tool evaluating this impact.
