The systematic integration of the patient perspective into medical decision-making processes through Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) is becoming increasingly important. This applies in particular to diseases that are associated with a high level of suffering. This also includes urinary incontinence – a disease that mainly affects women and is associated with a wide range of limitations. Important PROMs in urinary incontinence care are the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), which helps to differentiate between stress and urge incontinence – the two most common forms of incontinence – and the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), which focuses on assessing the degree of severity. The subject of this book is a study of 161 incontinent women in which QUID and ISI were translated into German and evaluated for the first time. The focus was on examining classic psychometric quality criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, reliability and validity. As a result, the use of both questionnaires can be recommended. However, the moderate specificity of the QUID in differentiating between stress and urge incontinence should be taken into account.
