Objectives: The objectives of this study were to identify and qualitatively describe, in a systematic literature review, published studies that collected prostate cancer patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) estimates by using validated, generic instruments.Methods: Systematic searches of the literature were made using the Medline, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, and CINAHL electronic databases from 2002 to 2015.Results: The search identified 2,171 references, of which 237 were obtained for full-text assessment; thirty-three of these articles were deemed relevant and included in the systematic review. An indirect valuation method was used in 73 percent (n = 24) of the studies. The most commonly used HRQoL instrument with an indirect valuation method was the EuroQol (EQ-5D; n = 21), and the second most common was the 15D (n = 5). A direct valuation method was used in 48 percent (n = 16) of the studies. Of these, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was the most often used (n = 10), followed by the Time-Trade-Off (n = 6). HRQoL scores varied in localized and early stage disease between 0.63 and 0.91, and in advanced or metastatic disease stage between 0.50 and 0.87. There was also variance in the HRQoL instruments and study methods used, which explains the large variance in HRQoL scores between the various disease stages.Conclusions: Although utility and quality-adjusted life-years gained are considered important measures of effectiveness in health care, the number of studies in which utilities of prostate cancer patients have been estimated using generic HRQoL instruments, based on either direct or indirect measurement of HRQoL, is fairly small.

39 Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes are important in treatment selection for prostate cancer. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a validated and widely-utilized HRQoL survey which accounts for newer radiotherapeutic, surgical, and hormonal treatment methods. We present a meta-analysis of patient reported HRQoL outcomes collected with EPIC and compare HRQoL trends with radiation therapy, surgery, or active surveillance as primary treatment. Methods: The PubMed database was systematically searched for all studies which presented data directly derived from the use of EPIC on patients with prostate cancer prior to 07/09/2014. All eligible studies were selected for either inclusion and analysis or exclusion based on pre-determined criteria. The data from included studies was compiled and a simulation-based estimation method using Approximate Bayesian Computation was performed to obtain missing standard deviation estimate. A longitudinal meta-analysis was conducted to estimate EPIC-profiles for each component using Bayesian p-spline method. Results: Over 4,000 studies were searched, 152 were deemed eligible, and 39 were included. The calculated mean summary score estimates are shown in the attached table. Conclusions: In the urinary domain, radical prostatectomy (RP) has lower acute scores than active surveillance (AS) or radiation therapy (RT) without long-term difference. In the bowel domain, RT has lower scores than AS or RP acutely and long-term. In the sexual domain, RT and RP have lower acute scores than AS. RP has lower scores than RT without long-term difference. In the hormonal domain, little difference was noted between modalities. [Table: see text]
