What the result means
- Scales
- The same 7 life-impact questions asked three times: UIQ-7 (bladder), CRAIQ-7 (bowel), POPIQ-7 (vagina or pelvis).
- Summary
- The three scale scores added together, so 0 to 300. Higher is more interference with daily life.
- Scope
- The impact companion of the PFDI-20, which measures symptom bother. The 2005 source publishes no severity cutoff, so no band is asserted.

How this is calculated
- Scoring
- Items are 0 (not at all) to 3 (quite a bit). Each scale is the mean of its answered items times 100 divided by 3, so each runs 0 to 100.
