The PFIQ-7 is a shortened version of the PFIQ and is used to assess life impact in women with pelvic floor disorders.  It includes all of the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 as well as items related to other pelvic floor disorders.[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 PFIQ-7 consists of 3 scales of 7 questions each taken from  the Urinary Impact Questionnaire, the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Impact Questionnaire, and the Colorectal-Anal Impact Questionnaire.  The 3 scales are scored from 0 (least impact) to 100 (greatest impact) and an overall summary score (0 to 300).[1]
