BackgroundPelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs) affect the female population, and the postpartum period can be related to the onset or aggravation of the disease. Early identification of the symptoms and the impact on quality of life can be achieved through assessment instruments.ObjectiveThe purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate questionnaires used to assess PFD in the postpartum period.MethodsA systematic review study was conducted, following Preferred Reporting Items for the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria, using the databases: PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), Web of Science, and Scopus, and the keywords PFD or pelvic floor disorders, postpartum or puerperium, and questionnaire. Articles published up till May 2018 were included, searching for articles using validated questionnaires for the evaluation of PFDs in postpartum women. The articles included were evaluated according to a checklist, and the validation studies and translated versions of the questionnaires were identified.ResultsThe search of the databases resulted in 359 papers, and 33 were selected to compose this systematic review, using nine validated questionnaires to assess PFDs in the postpartum period: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire – Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS), Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory 20 (PFDI-20), Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7), PFDI-46, Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-31), Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire (PFBQ), Female Pelvic Floor Questionnaire, electronic Personal Assessment Questionnaire – Pelvic Floor, and PFD questionnaire specific for pregnancy and postpartum. The most frequently reported questionnaires included PFDI-20, PFIQ-7, and ICIQ-VS and are recommended by ICI. In addition, the review identified a specific questionnaire, recently developed, to access PFD during pregnancy and postpartum.ConclusionThe questionnaires used to evaluate PFD during postpartum period are developed for general population or urology/gynecology patients with incontinence and reinforce the paucity of highly recommended questionnaires designed for postpartum, in order to improve early and specific approach for this period of life.

Background Overactive bladder (OAB) is a health burden that needs an Arabic assessment tool. The idea is to validate the Arabic version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-overactive bladder (ICIQ-OAB). Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study carried out between March 2019 and February 2020. The translated ICIQ-OAB was used to assess the 227 patients. The enrolled patients were 112 complaining of symptoms suggestive of OAB, 115 healthy without LUTS symptoms. Additionally, patients with and without BOO symptoms were included. The reliability assessment of the internal consistency was done using Cronbach’s α test. With the aid of Spearman’s correlation coefficient (r), the interdomain associations were assessed. The Mann–Whitney test was used to assess the discrimination validity. Results A high internal consistency between the mean scores of women with and those without OAB as well as BOO groups, Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.82. A strong correlation obviates among whole ICIQ domains in OAB set (P ≤ 0.001). Equally, a high correlation exists among each domain in the BOO group, and Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.82. In comparison with control, highly significant scores exist for all ICIQ-OAB domains and entire points in the BOO as well as OAB sets (P < 0.001). The ICIQ-OAB was found to have good discriminant validity. Conclusion A formulated and approved ICIQ-OAB -Arabic release is a value tool for addressing OAB symptom complex. The easy questionnaire will be a useful tool in grading the bother symptoms in Arabic speaking inhabitant.
