It consist of six questions, and the score of three of the questions (assessing frequency of UI, volume of leak and bother) sums up to a total score. It ranges between 0-21 where 0 is no incontinence and a higher score indicates more severe symptoms of UI. The inclusion of participants are over a period of four years.

    Measured: 2 years
