When to Use

When to Use the IIQ-7

Assessment of quality-of-life impact caused by urinary incontinence in women
Baseline evaluation before initiating treatment for stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence
Longitudinal monitoring of response to conservative therapy (pelvic floor physical therapy, behavioral modification, medications)
Pre- and post-operative evaluation after anti-incontinence procedures (mid-urethral sling, Burch colposuspension, autologous fascial sling, bulking agents)
Research and clinical audit in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS)
Combined use with UDI-6 to provide both symptom distress (UDI-6) and life impact (IIQ-7) perspectives
Patient counseling to quantify how incontinence affects daily functioning and emotional well-being

Clinical Context

Urinary incontinence affects up to 50% of adult women, with significant negative effects on physical, social, and psychological well-being. The IIQ-7 is a concise, validated, disease-specific instrument that quantifies the impact of incontinence on four main domains: physical activity, travel, social/recreational activities, and emotional health. It is quick to administer (usually < 2 minutes) and highly responsive to change, making it ideal for busy clinical practice.

Domains Evaluated by IIQ-7

Physical activities (household chores, exercise)
Travel (ability to travel more than 30 minutes from home)
Social activities (visiting friends, family, or attending events)
Emotional health (frustration, embarrassment, anxiety, depression related to incontinence)
Overall impact on quality of life
