  • Title: [Experiences with a new questionnaire for preoperative evaluation of female urinary incontinence (author's transl)].
    Author: Riss P, Spernol R, Endler M.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1981; 131(13-14):353-5. PubMed ID: 7197084.
    Abstract:
    A new questionnaire with an urge-score and stress-score described by Gaudenz was put before 90 incontinent women scheduled to undergo vaginal repair. In addition to the history cystometry and simultaneous urethral pressure profilometry was done. According to the questionnaire 70 patients had evidence of stress-incontinence and 20 patients of urge-incontinence. A good correlation was found with the results of the urodynamic evaluation. The score does not reflect the severity of urinary incontinence. In patients with symptoms of both stress- and urge-incontinence the score emphasizes urge-incontinence. When a urodynamic work-up is not possible the questionnaire with the urge-score and stress-score is a very helpful tool for differentiating between stress- and urge-incontinence.
