Correlations between the ICIQ-UI short form and urodynamic diagnosis.

Aims: Urinary incontinence is a common symptom in many diseases as well as in general population. To measure the impact of urinary incontinence (UI) on individual's quality of life the English short form International Consultation on Incontinence questionnaire (ICIQ-UI Short Form) has been developed, which consists of three scored and one self-diagnostic question. Our aim was to translate the ICIQ-UI Short Form into Slovene, re-validate it, and test the diagnostic value of the questionnaire in determining the type of UI.

A partnership takes a gamble to measure quality.

An alliance of employers and providers will be tested this summer when employers will be faced with the choice of keeping--or severing--relationships with certain hospitals.
