To systematically evaluate the responsiveness of recommended grade-A patient-reported outcome measures for assessing health-related quality of life in women undergoing conservative therapy for urinary incontinence.
Searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL for studies evaluating recommended patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assessing health-related quality of life in women receiving conservative therapy for urinary incontinence.
Identified 5 studies assessing 5 PROMs across 672 participants with mixed or stress urinary incontinence.
Two reviewers independently screened records, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality and interpretability using the COSMIN framework.
The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) demonstrated the highest internal responsiveness, with a standardized response mean of 2.07 and an effect size of 2.12.
The Protection Amount Frequency Adjustment Body Image Questionnaire (PRAFAB-Q) exhibited the highest external responsiveness, achieving an area under the curve of 0.96.
Four questionnaires showed at least one high responsiveness index (I-QOL, PRAFAB-Q, ICIQ-UI SF, and ICIQ-LUTSqol), although methodological flaws were noted in responsiveness assessment for 1 study and interpretability for 3 studies.
