The measurement of fecal incontinence is challenging. Because fecal incontinence is a symptom, the subjective perception of the patient must be the foundation of any evaluation of incontinence or the impact of incontinence. The lack of a criterion standard makes testing measures for reliability and validity more difficult. Despite this, many measures are available and can be divided into three broad categories: descriptive measures that do not provide summary scores; severity measures that assess the frequency and type of incontinence; and impact measures that assess the effect of incontinence on quality of life. The strengths and weaknesses of currently available measures are presented in this review.
大便失禁的测量具有挑战性。由于大便失禁是一种症状，患者的主观感受必须是任何失禁评估或失禁影响评估的基础。缺乏标准使得测试措施的可靠性和有效性更难评估。尽管如此，仍有许多测量方法可供使用，可大致分为三大类：不提供综合评分的描述性测量方法；评估失禁频率和类型的严重程度测量方法；以及评估失禁对生活质量影响的影响测量方法。本综述介绍了现有测量方法的优缺点。
