“…The Japanese version was considered to have good discriminant, convergent and construct validity [102]. Objective parameters (e.g., pad test) were strongly correlated with post-treatment Portuguese KHQ scores [103].…”

Incontinence-specific quality of life measures used in trials of treatments for female urinary incontinence: a systematic review

et al. 2005

This systematic review examined the use of incontinence-specific quality of life (QOL) measures in clinical trials of female incontinence treatments, and systematically evaluated their quality using a standard checklist. Of 61 trials included in the review, 58 (95.1%) used an incontinence-specific QOL measure. The most commonly used were IIQ (19 papers), I-QoL (12 papers) and UDI (9 papers). Eleven papers (18.0%) used measures which were not referenced or were developed specifically for the study. The eight QOL measures identified had good clinical face validity and measurement properties. We advise researchers to evaluate carefully the needs of their specific study, and select the QOL measure that is most appropriate in terms of validity, utility and relevance, and discourage the development of new measures. Until better evidence is available on the validity and comparability of measures, we recommend that researchers consider using IIQ or I-QOL with or without UDI in trials of incontinence treatments.

“…The first part, specific for urinary problems, is divided in four domains: inconvenience, restrictions, fears, and impact on daily life, with a total of 30 questions (9,8,8, and 5 questions, respectively). Each answer has five quantified items on a fivecategory ordinal Likert scale with values ranging from 0 (no impact) to 4 (greatest negative impact).…”

“…The first two disease-specific urological QoL questionnaires translated and validated into Portuguese were the King 0 s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) [6] and The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) [7]. Both versions were also assessed for responsiveness [8,9].…”

“…This psychometric property is called "responsiveness" (6). Responsiveness to the KHQ in its Portuguese version has just been assessed (7). According to Norman et al (8), there has been an increasing emphasis on responsiveness as an essential characteristic for the use of health-related quality of life measures in studies of therapeutic interventions.…”

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and responsiveness (internal and external) of the Portuguese version of the ICIQ-SF. We assessed the responsiveness of the ICIQ-SF after surgical procedures for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.Materials and Methods: Prospective open label study in 2 tertiary referral centers. Sixty-one patients of both genders (54 female and 7 male) were enrolled. Patients were treated using surgical procedures, mostly with synthetic sling (82%). Patients were assessed before surgery and at least 1 month postoperatively using the ICIQ-SF in its translated and validated Portuguese version. Patients also underwent pre-operative urodynamic tests, Stamey incontinence grading and pad usage assessments. After surgery, patients underwent stress tests, Stamey incontinence grading and pad usage assessments.Results: The mean age was 57.2 (± 11.6) years and the mean duration of follow-up was 7.2 months (± 4.5). Objective parameters such as urodynamic tests (by means of VLPP) and pad usage had significant correlation with changes in post-treatment scores on the ICIQ-SF (p = 0.0062 and p < 0.0001 respectively). The responsiveness expressed in terms of standardized effect sizes (SES) and standardized response means (SRM) was large for both questionnaires (p < 0.0001).Conclusion: The results showed high responsiveness (large effect sizes I and II) for the Portuguese version of the ICIQ-SF, indicating that this instrument is suitable for measuring outcomes in clinical trials for Brazilian patients with stress urinary incontinence.
