Yearwood Martin et al, (2018) described the development and evaluation of the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire ICIQ‐PadPROM, the first self‐reported quality of life questionnaire to assess the treatment effect of absorbent continence products.

Summary

This is a new addition to the set of ICIQ modules providing international standardised assessment of lower pelvic dysfunction. The ICIQ PadPROM questionnaire is reported to be the first to measure the impact of absorbent continence products on quality of life in the absence of any change in symptoms with an aim of supporting policy‐makers, clinicians, industry, and researchers to evaluate different products designs and materials for different patient populations.
