Primary outcome

The primary outcome measure is the difference in functional outcome between the ta-IPAA and tabd-IPAA, measured by the Colorectal Functional Outcome (COREFO) questionnaire at 12 months after pouch surgery. COREFO is a validated functional score used to assess colorectal function, divided in 5 domains (Incontinence, social impact, frequency, stool related aspects and need for medication) with a total of 27 questions and a result expressed between 0 and 100, increasing with a worse function. The score was validated in 2005, including patients with IPAA.
