[Why and how to measure the quality of life? Questions to be asked by the urologist].
Quality of life is not a question of fashion but rather a new perception of the effects of health care. Unfortunately, currently developed means of assessing health status only rarely englobe quality of life assessment and when they do, still need much improvement. Modelization is a difficult task and requires a long scientific approach. In order to achieve the goal of reliable quality of life assessment, the different professional colleges should work together with methodologists to identify assessment criteria and include them in future clinical research protocols.
