The Brazilian Portuguese version of the ICIQ-OABqol: cross-cultural adaptation and reliability.
The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder Symptoms Quality of Life (ICIQ-OABqol) Module evaluates the quality of life of individuals with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, and its use in scientific studies and clinical practice is recommended by the International Continence Society. The aim was to conduct the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the ICIQ-OABqol (ICIQ-OABqol_portuguese) in individuals with OAB symptoms. ⋯ The Brazilian Portuguese version of the ICIQ-OABqol shows satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used to evaluate the quality of life of individuals of both sexes with OAB symptoms.
