Medical, Epidemiologic, and Social Aspects of Aging (MESA) Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire: Translation and Validation of the Chinese Language Version in Women With Urgency-predominant Mixed Urinary Incontinence

The study is to translate the Medical, Epidemiologic, and Social aspects of Aging (MESA) urinary incontinence questionnaire into a Chinese language version and test the reliability and validity among women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.

The hypothesis is that the Chinese language version of the MESA questionnaire will have adequate measurement properties (e.g. reliability and validity).

Conditions

Detailed Description

Mixed urinary incontinence(MUI) is regarded as urgency-predominant when urgency incontinence episodes dominate over stress incontinence episodes, and vice versa. The treatment of MUI often begins with the most bothersome symptoms.

MESA questionnaire is a reliable and validated tool to evaluate the severity and predominance of stress or urgency urinary incontinence. At present, it hasn't been translated into a Chinese language version and validated.

The validation study of MESA questionnaire is embedded in a randomized controlled trial conducted among female patients, of which the data will be collected and analysed.

Design Details

  • Observational Models: Case-Only
  • Time Perspectives: Prospective

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Group 1
Group 1 is anticipated to consist of 300 women with MUI, and the categorization function of MESA questionnaire will be validated among those patients.
Group 2
Group 2 is anticipated to consist of 282 women with urgency-predominant MUI.
Group 3
Group 3 is anticipated to consist of 94 women with urgency-predominant MUI.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The criteria validity of MESA questionnaire compared with extended clinical evaluation in deciding predominant components of MUI.
Time Frame: screening and baseline periods
The extended clinical evaluation mainly includes physical examination, 3-day voiding diary, cough stress teat, urinalysis and residual urine volume by ultrasonography.
screening and baseline periods

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The criteria validity of MESA questionnaire compared with International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ SF) in severity assessing among women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.
Time Frame: baseline
ICIQ SF is a validated questionnaire to evaluate both the severity of incontinence symptoms and influence on QoL in the past four weeks. The questionnaire is consisted of four items, including frequency, leakage amount, impact on QoL and the cause of urinary incontinence. The total score of the ICIQ SF ranges from 0 to 21, with a higher score indicating worse symptoms and QoL.
baseline
The criteria validity of MESA questionnaire compared with 3-day voiding diary in severity assessing among women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.
Time Frame: baseline
In 3-day voiding diary, the type and episodes of incontinence are all recorded.
baseline
The test-retest reliability of MESA questionnaire
Time Frame: screening and baseline periods
The test-retest reliability of MESA will be evaluated at the screening and baseline period with about one- to two-week interval among women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.
screening and baseline periods
The responsiveness of MESA questionnaire
Time Frame: baseline, week 12
The responsiveness of MESA questionnaire will be evaluated before and after the treatment among women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence compared with 3-day voiding diary and ICIQ SF.
baseline, week 12
