title: Assessing quality of life with incontinence.
abstract: This article reports on an evaluation of commonly recommended questionnaires to measure symptom severity and quality of life in women with urinary incontinence. Three questionnaires outperform the others and a robust assessment concludes that the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire is the most practical tool for the busy practitioner.
