Responsiveness of Health-Related Quality of Life Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Women Receiving Conservative Treatment for Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review
Conclusion:
Four questionnaires presented at least 1 high responsiveness index (Urinary Incontinence Specific Quality of Life Instrument [I-QOL], PRAFAB-Q, ICIQ-UI SF, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life Modules [ICIQ-LUTSqol]). While the ICIQ-UI presented the highest overall responsiveness index, the PRAFAB-Q, an informative and brief questionnaire for clinical use, had the highest index with the highest methodological quality. There is a need to further confirm responsiveness of PROMs in this population and context. (Source: Journal of Womens He...

A Case Report of Ependymoma in a Pregnant Client With Thoracic and Lumbopelvic Pain
Discussion:
This case describes how systemic disease may present as pregnancy-related musculoskeletal dysfunction. Recognition of non–mechanical-based symptom complaints may assist in the detection of occult pathology. There are, however, rare occurrences when red flag signs appear only in the final stages of the disease with irreversible tumor expansion and metastases, ultimately leading to death.
Informed Consent:
This case is unique as the individual under discussion is deceased and therefore unable to provide consent. (Source: Journal of Womens Health Physical Therapy)
