Intended Population
[edit | edit source]
The PGI-I has only been tested on women with stress urinary incontinence. It has not been established to be applicable for men and women with other lower urinary tract symptoms or conditions.[1]
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The PGI-I is a transition scale that is a single question asking the patient to rate their urinary tract condition now, as compared with how it was prior to before beginning treatment on a scale from 1. Very much better to 7. Very much worse.[1]

Evidence[edit | edit source]
Reliability[edit | edit source]
Validity[edit | edit source]
The PGI-I was found to have excellent construct validity. The assessment variables included incontinence episode frequency, the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire results, and fixed volume (400 mL) stress pad test results. The category differences for all variables was highly significant (P< .0001).
