The questionnaire is easy to understand and complete and is a valid and reliable instrument for assessment of the symptoms of incontinence and the quality of life. Pre- and post-operative evaluation of women with stress incontinence was performed in a standardised setting in 22 of the 37 Norwegian departments and the reporting to a national database was successful. Comparison of surgical procedures, departments and surgeons is possible.
