Abstract: This cross-sectional study showed that the prior use of three self-created questions similar in wording and appearance to the SF-36 questionnaire significantly reduces MIV in male patients. School qualification of QoL respondents inversely correlated with the number of questionnaire MIV, but independent of education status all subjects did benefit from the QoL form training.
