Changes in Fibroid-related Symptoms After Treatment With Letrozole
The Uterine Fibroid Sympton and Quality of Life (UFS-QoL) Symptom Severity score measures self-reported severity of fibroid-related symptoms. Symptoms include: fatigue, sleep, self-image, mood disturbances/psychologic distress, fear of embarrassment, interference with daily activities, relationships with family and friends, and sexual functioning. Scores range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Baseline to 2 Months
