Identification of the UDI-6 and the IIQ-7 Cutoff Scores in Urinary Incontinent Women
Quality of LifeUrinary Incontinence,Stress1 morePurpose Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) and The International Consultation on Incontinence (ICIQ-SF) Short Form are used to diagnose individuals with urinary incontinence (UI) and to assess the impact of the dysfunction on patient quality of life. While ICIQ-SF has fixed cutoff values - UDI-6 and IIQ-7 do not. We aimed to find the cutoff scores for UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in women with UI. Methods The study involved 205 women aged between 31 and 83 years - 155 with, and 50 without UI symptoms. All participants completed all three questionnaires: ICIQ-SF, UDI-6 and IIQ-7. Patients were categorized according to their ICIQ-SF scores, as symptomatic ICIQ-SF ≥6 (n=134) and asymptomatic ICIQ < 6 (n=60). The Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was used to test how well UDI-6 allowed a discrimination between patients suffering from UI and those who do not. AUC (Area under Curve) statistic was calculated to measure the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 Total Score efficiency.
Pelvic Floor Disorders Among Sexual Minoritized Women
Sexual Function DisturbancesPelvic Organ Prolapse2 moreThe investigators aim to perform cognitive interviews to assess how pelvic floor disorders impact sexual functioning in women who have sex with women (WSW). As a secondary objective there will be cognitive interviews to assess perceptions of sexual function questionnaires such as Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA Revised (PISQ-IR) in WSW.

A Study of Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Sacral Colpopexy Using Alyte Mesh
Pelvic Organ ProlapseUrinary Incontinence1 moreRobotic approach to sacral colpopexy is a relatively new procedure. The literature is scarce in regard to long term outcomes. This advanced procedure is offered at Morristown Memorial. THis protocol will review the one year outcome of patients who underwent this pocedure using a polypropylene mesh. These outcomes will incude anatomical and quality of life measures.
