    Snippet: We acknowledge that our study has potential limitations. Follow-up rate was not optimal due to administrative failure in three institutes (responsible for 74% and 63.5% of not completing the questionnaire at visits 2 and 3, respectively), follow-up loss and patient refusal, which was attributable to various reasons including outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome during about half of our study period (from May 2015 to study end).

    Document: We acknowledge that our study has potential limitations. Follow-up rate was not optimal due to administrative failure in three institutes (responsible for 74% and 63.5% of not completing the questionnaire at visits 2 and 3, respectively), follow-up loss and patient refusal, which was attributable to various reasons including outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome during about half of our study period (from May 2015 to study end). However, because response rate was high (> 95% for non-sexual scales) in patients given the questionnaire, this finding does not mean that the module is not valid and difficult to understand. Despite possible limitations, given that majority of BC patients are diagnosed with NMIBC and no NMIBC-specific QOL questionnaire exists in Korea, the Korean version of QLQ-NMIBC24 module would be a useful tool to evaluate patient-reported outcomes in patients with NMIBC in clinical routine practice and in the research setting.
