Validity of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: A Screening Questionnaire for Children

Abstract

The questionnaire is an acceptable, reliable tool with high sensitivity and specificity to screen for lower urinary tract symptoms in pediatric practice. Problems related to literacy suggest use of the child versions for patients older than 9 years. In research this questionnaire could be used to recalibrate the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms in children.
