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.&nbsp; It is a short-form version of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory.<ref name="Barber" />

Objective[edit | edit source]

Pelvic floor.jpg

The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire-20 (PFDI-20) is the short-form version of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI).[1] Similar to the PFIQ-7, it is a health-related quality of life questionnaire for women with pelvic floor conditions to fill out.[1] The PFDI-20 is comprised of 3 scales, which include the Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6 (POPDI-6), and the Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory-8 (CRADI-8).[1]

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

Women over the age of 18 with disorders of the pelvic floor including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and fecal incontinence.[1]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

Since it is comprised of the UDI-6, POPDI-6, and the CRADI-8, the PFDI-20 includes 20 questions.[1] Each question begins with a "yes" or "no" response. If "yes," the patient must indicate how much bowl, bladder, or pelvic symptoms have been bothering them in the past 3 months on a 4-point scale that ranges from "not at all" (0) to "quite a bit" (4).[1] The scale scores are found individually by calculating the mean value of their corresponding questions and then multiplying by 25 to obtain a value that ranges from 0 to 100.[1] The sum of the 3 scales are added together to get the PFDI-20 summary score, which ranges from 0 to 300.[1]

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Correlation[edit | edit source]

Correlation, represented by r, ranges from -1.0 to +1.0. If the r value is 0 that means there is no correlation. If the r value is close to -1.0 that means that both values will decrease linearly. If the r value is close to +1.0 that means that both values will increase linearly.

Correlation of the short-form versions with the long-form versions:[1]

  • UDI-6 r=0.86[1]
  • POPDI-6 r=0.92[1]
  • CRADI-8 r=0.93[1]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

The test-retest reliability, represented by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC):[1]

  • PFDI-20 ICC=0.93[1]
  • UDI-6 ICC=0.82[1]
  • POPDI-6 ICC=0.91[1]
  • CRADI-8 ICC=0.84[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 0.70 to 1.28.[1]  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.[1]  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]

Clinically Meaningful Change[edit | edit source]

At the time of creation, the clinically meaningful change in quality of life (MCID)[2] needed to be studied in larger populations.[1] Studies have found minimal importance changes (MIC) ranging from 23 to 45.[1][3][4] For example, in their small sample size, Barber and colleagues (2004)[1] found a change in the summary score of 45 points or more to be meaningful after surgery.[1] However, it is important to consider that patients undergoing surgery also generally have higher scores at baseline.[5]

More recently, Wiegersma and colleagues (2017)[5] aimed to determine the MIC in women undergoing conservative pelvic organ prolapse treatments for mild symptoms.[5] They found that an improvement of 13.5 points to be helpful when evaluating the effects of conservative treatment strategies.[5]

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]
