A Validation of the Tarlov Cyst Quality-of-Life Survey in Men Surgically Treated for Symptomatic Spinal Tarlov Cysts
We validated the TCQoL as a disease-specific HRQoL measure that can be used with male patients who undergo surgical treatment for sacral Tarlov cysts. Our validation demonstrates good internal validity and discriminative validity, is sensitive to clinical change, and has strong construct validity.
