Chinese validation of the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire Short Form

Abstract

The Chinese version of the PFIQ-7 has high reliability and validity for the Chinese population. It is highly recommended for clinical treatment and research.

Tension‐free vaginal tape‐obturator for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence: a 12‐year prospective follow‐up

“…All patients were evaluated by medical history focused on LUTS, including the question: 'Does urine leak when you are physically active, exert yourself, cough, or sneeze?'. Patients were also required to complete the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire Short Form (IIQ-7) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire Short Form (PISQ-12), which were validated for the Chinese population in our previous study [10,11]. Urodynamic measurements were performed in a private environment using a digital urodynamic machine (Solar silver; MMS International, Enschede, the Netherlands) and included uroflowmetry, PVR, filling cystometry, Valsalva leak-point pressure, and pressure-flow of voiding.…”

Retropubic tension-free vaginal tape and inside-out transobturator tape: a long-term randomized trial

“…The PFIQ-7 evaluates the impact of incontinence on daily activities and moods. A higher PFIQ-7 score indicates a worse QOL [14]. The PISQ-12 was completed by sexually active patients to assess the quality of their sexual life.…”

Responsiveness of the Spanish Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaires Short Forms (PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7) in women with pelvic floor disorders

“…The PFDI-20 and the PFIQ-7 are two specific questionnaires that are recommended to measure the symptoms and QoL in women with PFD [26][27][28]. Both questionnaires have been adapted and validated in their original language and later translated and validated in several languages [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, only the original, Turkish, Greek, Danish and Table 2 Scoring PFIQ-7.…”

“…Both questionnaires have been validated in different languages such as French, Swedish, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish, Spanish in Hispanic speakers from USA, Spanish for speakers in Spain and, recently, Japanese, Danish, Greek and Dutch [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The cultural adaptation and validation questionnaire is cheaper than creating new questionnaires and it allows researchers to carry out comparisons among countries.…”
