Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory
The PFDI is a condition-specific quality-of-life measure designed to assess symptom distress across the spectrum of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and fecal incontinence. Originally published by Barber and colleagues in 2001 with 93 items, the 20-item short form (PFDI-20) was later developed to improve clinical feasibility while maintaining measurement precision. It is now the standard outcome measure in pelvic floor disorder research and clinical practice.
