Abstract

Lack of a universally accepted, easily applied, outcome measure is one reason why urinary incontinence in women is poorly evaluated and treated. he severity index, developed by Sandvik et al, is short and simple enough for use in almost any context. We evaluated the reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of the severity index in a wide range of women in Scotland.
