The Michigan Incontinence Score (M-ISI) is a 10-item questionnaire designed to assess urinary incontinence type, severity, and bother, with a focus on stress and urge incontinence. The tool is commonly used to screen for clinically relevant symptoms, with a total score of greater than or equal to 7 suggesting a need for intervention.
Difference in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a 7-question tool (0-35 points) used in urology to assess Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) severity, plus one quality-of-life question. It measures symptoms like frequency, urgency, weak stream, and nocturia, with scores of 0-7 (Mild), 8-19 (Moderate), and 20-35 (Severe).
Secondary outcomes
