The Sensitivity and Specificity of a Simple Test To Distinguish between Urge and Stress Urinary Incontinence

Abstract

The 3IQ questionnaire is a simple, quick, and noninvasive test with acceptable accuracy for classifying urge and stress incontinence and may be appropriate for use in primary care settings. Similar studies are needed in other populations. We also need a clinical trial comparing the outcomes of treatments based on the 3IQ and the extended evaluation.
