ICIQ-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
|
| Purpose of module |
The ICIQ-FLUTS is a patient-completed questionnaire
for evaluating female lower urinary tract symptoms and impact on quality
of life (QoL) in research and clinical practice. This questionnaire
will be of use to general practitioners and clinicians in both primary
and secondary care institutions to screen for lower urinary tract dysfunction,
to obtain a brief yet comprehensive summary of the level and impact
of urinary symptoms and to facilitate patient-clinician discussions.
It is an ideal research tool to assess outcome from various treatment
modalities and also can be of use in epidemiological surveys. |
