The relationship between clinical parameters and health-related quality of life as measured by the 15D in incontinent women before and after treatment.
The purpose of this study was to correlate the clinical parameters with a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measure and to describe the change of HRQoL caused by treatment and its modifying factors among urinary incontinent women. ⋯ There was a modest correlation of incontinence severity measures with quality of life impairment. The challenge for the future will be to improve the success of treatment for women with urge UI. The generic 15D appears to be sensitive to detect change in HRQoL due to treatment of UI women.
