This study aims to translate and validate the ICIQ-CLUTS for Persian-speaking caregivers to assess lower urinary tract symptoms in children.
The ICIQ-CLUTS was translated and validated following established ICIQ recommendations.
Self-administered tool was completed by 67 caregivers of children aged 5 to 9 years between June and November 2024.
Reliability was measured by Cronbach’s α and ICC, and validity assessed through EFA and ROC analysis.
Internal consistency was good (α = 0.768) and test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC = 0.983).
EFA identified three factors accounting for 72.1% of the variance: urgency, bladder control, and voiding dysfunction.
The tool demonstrated excellent discriminative capability with an AUC of 0.917 and 75% sensitivity at a cut-off point of 15.5.
