Abstract

The aim was to validate the Italian version of the IncontinenceQuality of Life questionnaire IQoL in women with clinical and urodynamic urinary incontinence UI A secondary end point was to compare the results of women with reported UI but negative urodynamic findingsThe Italian translation of the IQoL was administered to 267 Italian women with pelvic organ prolapse  stage III and who had undergone previous surgical or medical therapy for UI Cronbach’s alpha was calculated to assess internal consistency of the IQoL items Reproducibility was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient ICC Convergent validity involved comparison of IQoL scores and the Short Form36 Health questionnaireOne hundred and sixtyseven patients were considered for the primary end point 47 had a negative history of UI and a normal urodynamic test 120 complained of UI confirmed by a urodynamic test 59 had a positive history for UI and a urodynamic test negative for UI and 35 patients not reporting UI had a positive urodynamic test The IQoL score revealed that the QoL was lower in patients with reported UI irrespective of urodynamic findings The overall IQoL summary score and subscales showed high internal consistency alpha ranges from 088 to 096 ICC ranged from 098 to 099 demonstrating the stability of the scores The physical domain of the IQoL showed a 027 correlation with the physical functioning subscale of the SF36 No significant difference in IQoL scores was found among various types of UI
