Objective
[edit | edit source]

The PFDI-20 is both a symptom inventory and a measure of the degree of bother and distress (quality-of-life) caused by pelvic floor symptoms.  It is a short-form version of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory.[1]

Intended Population
[edit | edit source]

Women with disorders of the pelvic floor including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and fecal incontinence.[1]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

The PFDI-20 includes 20 questions and 3 scales.  Each of the 3 scales is scored from 0 (least distress) to 100 (greatest distress).  The sum of the scores of these 3 scales serves as the overall summary score of the PFDI-20 and ranges from 0 - 300.  The 3 scales include questions taken from the following widely used outcome measures:  Urinary Distress Inventory - 6 questions, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory - 6 questions, and Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory - 8 questions.[1]

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

The PFDI-20 has good test-retest reliability intraclass coefficient .86, P< .001.  Each of the 3 scales (Urinary Distress Inventory, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory, and Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory) demonstrates significant correlation with their long-form scales (r = .86, r = .92, and  r = .93, respectively, P < .0001.[1]

Validity[edit | edit source]

The PFDI-20 demonstrates construct validity as it demonstrates a significant association with appropriate measures of symptom severity and pelvic floor diagnoses.[1]

Responsiveness[edit | edit source]

Each of the 3 scales of the PFDI-20 demonstrated moderate to excellent responsiveness with effect size and standardized response mean values ranging from .70 to 1.28.  The sensitivity of the PFDI-20 as a whole was excellent with an effect size of 1.48  P < .0001 and standardized response mean of 1.09 P < .0001.  The ability of the PFDI-20 to discriminate between subjects who indicated that they were "worse" after surgery from those who indicated they were "better" was excellent with c-statistic of .95.[1]

Miscellaneous
[edit | edit source]

The strength of the PFDI-20 is that it is a short form that gives a comprehensive assessment of the effect of pelvic floor disorders on the quality of life of women, rather than assessing just one aspect of pelvic floor function such as urinary incontinence.  A more generic quality-of-life form as the SF-36 has demonstrated poor responsiveness in patients undergoing treatment for urinary incontinence.  In these patient populations, it may be important to use both a generic quality-of-life instrument and a condition-specific instrument that has demonstrated responsiveness.  The PFDI-20 is easy to use in both clinical and research settings.[1]

The MCID needs to be studied in larger populations.[1]
