“…Developed in United Kingdom, the English version of the questionnaire has proven to be robust and psychometrically solid, considering analysis of content, construct, criterion validity, internal consistency, and reliability [ 13 , 17 ]. Its Spanish version has shown to be appropriate regarding face validity and test-retest reliability, available at Supplementary File 1 [ 14 ]. The full English version can be found at ICIQ website ( https://iciq.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Sample-ICIQ-B.pdf ).…”

Purpose Bowel complaints are very common among patients with colorectal cancer. However, the most used questionnaires for colorectal cancer survivors do not comprehensively comprise bowel symptoms. This study aimed to examine construct and criterion validity, as well as internal consistency, of the Chilean Version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Bowel Module (ICIQ-B) among people with colorectal cancer. Methods Cross-sectional, validation study performed with 106 colorectal cancer patients from Hospital del Salvador, Chile. Bowel function was assessed with the ICIQ-B. Construct validity was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis and hypothesis testing. Specific items of a quality-of-life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-CR29) were used to correlate with similar ICIQ-B items for criterion validity. For internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha was computed. Results For construct validity, the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three factors model did not fit our data. Meanwhile, hypothesis testing favored the construct validity of the instrument, considering that rectal cancer patients showed worse bowel pattern (p = 0.001), bowel control (p = 0.001) and quality of life (p < 0.001) scores compared to colon cancer patients. In addition, those patients assessed before surgery also presented worse scores bowel control (p = 0.023) and quality of life (p = 0.009) compared to post-surgical patients. Regarding criterion validity, the ICIQ-B items showed a significant correlation with similar QLQ-CR29 items. The internal reliability of the instrument was good (Cronbach’s α = 0.909). Conclusion Considering that this questionnaire appraises bowel function in more depth, it is recommended for use in clinical practice and research with colorectal cancer patients.

“…They assessed a large sample of people with anal incontinence [ 13 ]. Sacomori et al (2021) adapted the ICIQ-B to Spanish and evaluated its face validity and test and re-test reliability among Chilean colorectal cancer patients [ 14 ]. But there is still a need to test other measurement properties of the Chilean version of the ICIQ-B.…”

Bowel complaints are very common among patients with colorectal cancer. This study aimed to examine construct and criterion validity, as well as internal consistency, of the Chilean Version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Bowel Module (ICIQ-B) among people with colorectal cancer. Cross-sectional, validation study performed with 106 colorectal cancer patients from Hospital del Salvador, Chile. Bowel function was assessed with the ICIQ-B. Specific items of a quality-of-life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-CR29) were used to correlate with similar ICIQ-B items for criterion validity. Construct validity was assessed with exploratory factor analysis and hypothesis testing. For internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha was computed. The exploratory factor analysis resulted in three factors that accounted for 74.26% of the total variance: bowel control (59.69%), bowel pattern (7.98%) and quality of life (6.59%). Rectal cancer patients showed worse bowel pattern (p = 0.001), bowel control (p = 0.001) and quality of life (p < 0.001) scores compared to colon cancer patients. There was no significant difference between men and women regarding bowel function. Regarding criterion validity, the ICIQ-B items showed a significant correlation with similar QLQ-CR29 items. Considering that this questionnaire appraises bowel function in more depth, it is recommended for use in clinical practice and research with colorectal cancer patients.

BackgroundWe lack a comprehensive validated Danish questionnaire to evaluate symptoms and bother regarding anal incontinence (AI). The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire‐Bowel (ICIQ‐B) is an internationally recommended questionnaire containing 21 items, of which 17 are scored in three subscales: bowel pattern, bowel control, and quality of life.AimsTo translate the ICIQ‐B into Danish and to validate the Danish version in pelvic floor disorder (PFD) patients with and without AI.MethodsThe ICIQ‐B was translated by a panel of healthcare professionals followed by cognitive interviews with PFD patients attending an outpatient clinic. Revisions were undertaken using an iterative process, and a backward translation was performed for the final version. Pretesting and test‐retest of the ICIQ‐B were done online and administrated together with the St. Mark's score. Content, structural, convergent and discriminant validity were assessed, followed by an evaluation of relative and absolute reliability, including the smallest real difference (SRD).ResultsThirty cognitive patient interviews were performed, resulting in three revisions. The Danish ICIQ‐B was found to be comprehensible and relevant but lacked items addressing the psychological impact of bowel problems. The ICIQ‐B was completed online by 227 PFD patients with and without AI. The structural validity of the bowel pattern subscale could not be retrieved. Patients indicating AI had significantly higher ICIQ‐B and St. Mark's scores than patients without AI, and ICIQ‐B subscale scores correlated moderately with St. Mark's scores.Internal consistency was good except for the bowel pattern subscale. Seventy‐six patients completed test‐retest. Relative reliability was excellent for subscale scores and moderate or good for single items except for the item concerning stool consistency, which was weak. The SRD was found to be 2.8 for the bowel pattern subscale, 4.3 for bowel control subscale, and 3.6 for the quality‐of‐life subscale.ConclusionThe Danish version of the ICIQ‐B can be used for Danish patients with PFD, and discriminant validity is good. The structural validity and the internal consistency of the bowel pattern subscale are questionable, indicating that some items do not represent the underlying construct. Test‐retest reliability of the ICIQ‐B is acceptable, but the change needed to reflect a real change above the measurement error in each subscale is three to four points.
