Abstract

To assess the effectiveness of surgical and medical interventions for urinary 
incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse, psychometric questionnaires are 
important to assess the quality of change in women's lives. Although long forms of 
questionnaires are useful for research, short forms may be more widely used in 
clinical and practice research where it is important to minimize patient burden as well 
as reduce cost. We present a validated and reliable short form PISQ-12 questionnaire 
for the assessment of pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence that accurately 
predicts and scores the problem.
