The AAPS 101st Annual Meeting

Introduction: Limited literature used validated instruments to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for transgender and gender diverse individuals (TGD) undergoing gender-affirming surgeries (GAS).

Goal: Evaluate PROs using Vanderbilt Mini PRO Measures-Gender (VMP-G).

Methods:

•Four scales: quality of life, self-concept, satisfaction, and gender dysphoria.

•Scores range from 20 to 100

•Data were collected at pre-operative or post-operative clinic visits.

•Outcomes were compared in different races/ethnicities, gender identities, age, types of GAS, and time.

Results:

•199 patients. Average age 31.8 (SD ±11.5). 53% post-operative GAS

•Post-operative patients scored higher on all scales (p<0.001).

•Improved PROs in White, Non-White, Binary and Non-Binary and patients under age 21 (p<0.05).

•Top versus bottom surgery: no PROs differences (p=0.2).

•Low rate of regret (2.8%).

•VMP-G scores were sustainedone year after GAS.

Conclusion:

•GAS significantly improves PROs

•Different degrees of improvements in subgroups of TGD population

•Clinicians should approach subgroups of TGD patients with different strategies.
