Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

The primary aim of the study was to translate and validate a Polish version of the CONTILIFE, a quality of life questionnaire. The clinical validity of the CONTILIFE was assessed against the number of urinary leaks, Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP), and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP).

Methods

One hundred women with stress urinary incontinence completed a Polish version of the CONTILIFE twice with a 4-day interval.

Results

Internal consistency (Cronbach’s α= 0.94) and test–retest reliability of the instrument (ICC = 0.96) were very good. A significant relationship was found between all the CONTILIFE dimension scores, the CONTILIFE global score, and the number of urinary leaks per week. A less significant relationship was found between VLPP, MUCP, and CONTILIFE dimension and global scores.

Conclusions

A Polish version of the CONTILIFE can be a reliable measure of quality of life in stress urinary incontinence patients.
