[Quality of life, XXXX , and social outcomes after radical prostatectomy : Results from a urology competence center for rehabilitation].

@entity1 @entity322 @entity458
BACKGROUND: Quality of life is an important parameter for quality assurance of the results. After radical prostatectomy, quality of life is often limited. The degree of @entity322 correlates significantly with quality of life. RESULTS: Oncological and functional results are significantly decreased with the age of the @entity1 . On the other hand, the @entity458 of younger @entity1 is significantly greater than in the elderly. In the relative short period of 3-4 weeks of an inpatient rehabilitation in our urology competence center for rehabilitation, the mean decrease of urinary loss (24-h pad test) was 44.4   %. @entity458 also decreased significantly as measured by the questionnaire on @entity458 FBK-R10 (p   <   0.001). CONCLUSIONS: With this, quality of life significantly increased in all function and symptom scales of the QLQ-C30. Thus, this makes reintegration into social life easier. The return to work rate of employed @entity1 after our specific urological rehabilitation program following radical prostatectomy was 87   %.
