Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of postpartum fecal incontinence (FI) and urinary incontinence (UI) on quality of life (QOL). STUDY DESIGN:Seven hundred fifty-nine primiparous women in the Childbirth and Pelvic Symptoms study were interviewed 6 months postpartum. FI and UI were assessed with validated questionnaires. We measured QOL with SF-12 summary scores, health utility index score (a measure of self-rated overall health), and the modified Manchester Health Questionnaire. RESULTS:Women with FI had worse self-rated health utility index scores (85.1 +/- 9.8 vs 88.0 +/- 11.6, P = .02) and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) mental summary scores (46.8 +/- 9.2 vs 51.1 +/- 8.7, P < .0001) than women without FI or flatal incontinence. Women with UI had worse SF-12 mental summary scores (48.3 +/- 9.8 vs 51.6 +/- 7.8, P < .01) and self-rated health utility index scores (84.1 +/- 12.5 vs 88.7 +/- 10.1, P < .01) than women without UI. Women with both FI and UI had the lowest SF-12 mental summary scores (44.5 +/- 9.0). CONCLUSION:Six months after delivery, women experiencing FI or UI reported negative effects on health-related QOL. FI and UI together have a greater impact than either condition alone.
