Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) into Brazilian Portuguese (QUID-Br) and evaluate its measurement properties, given as reliability, validity, and responsiveness in women with urinary incontinence.
Study Design: It was a methodological study which enrolled 168 women (mean age = 55.1, standard deviation = 17.9 years old). Translation and cross-cultural adaptation were done and subsequently analysis of the measurement properties of QUID-Br were tested: structural validity (by exploratory and confirmatory factory analysis) internal consistency (Cronbach's α) construct validity (Pearson Correlation), and test-retest reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient).
Results: The QUID-Br two-factor was confirmed showing two domains with three items each: stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI). Furthermore, QUID-Br showed acceptable internal consistency for both scales (Cronbach's α > 0.70), reliability [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC = 0.85 for SUI and 0.87 for UUI)] with 95 % confidence interval (CI) and construct validity - with all the hypothesis raised a priori being confirmed.
Conclusions: The results of the present investigation showed that the QUID-Br is a valid, reliable, and consistent instrument to be administered to Brazilian women and its use is recommended in clinical practice and research.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Coital incontinence (CI) is an important problem that negatively affects women's quality of life and is often underreported owing to embarrassment, indicating the importance of its assessment with validated questionnaires. The aim of this study was to validate the Turkish-translated version of the International Female Coital Incontinence Questionnaire (IFCI-Q) for the objective evaluation of women with CI in Turkish-speaking populations.
Methods: Ninety women with CI filled out the Turkish-translated version of IFCI-Q.

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a common complication secondary to estrogen depletion which leads to tissue changes in the female genitourinary tract. Here, we sought to investigate the short- and long-term effects of CO laser therapy on symptoms of GSM in postmenopausal women. In this clinical trial, 47 postmenopausal women with symptoms of GSM were included.
