About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions in Female Badminton Athletes and Sedentary: Protocol of an Observational Case-Control Study

The objective of the study is to know the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions in female badminton athletes compared to sedentary women, and the hypothesis is that the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions is going to be higher in female badminton athletes.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the study, all participants giving written informed consent will complete the personal data questionnaire and the questionnaires validated to Spanish population "International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form" (ICIQ-SF), "Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form" (PFDI-20), "Female Sexual Function Index" (FSFI) and the SF-12 questionnaire. After that, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be assessed, and participants will be allocated into cases and controls group. Both groups will undergo the same procedures. Firstly, the evaluation of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse signs will be performed by using the cough stress test and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System; and secondly, the evaluation of pelvic floor muscle strength by using manometry.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Assessment of pelvic floor dysfunctions' symptoms and sings, pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of lifeOther

    It will be assessed the presence of urinary incontinence, anal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and female sexual dysfunction' symptoms by using the questionaries validated to Spanish population "International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form", "Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form" and "Female Sexual Function Index"; in addition, the sign of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse will be assessed by using the cough stress test and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System, the pelvic floor muscle strength by using manometry, and quality of life by using SF-12 questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urinary incontinence symptoms

    International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF): total score greater than 0 is positive for urinary incontinence

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited

  2. Anal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse symptoms

    Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form (PFDI-20): item 3 pelvic organ prolapse symptom, item 9 solid fecal incontinence symptom, item 10 liquid fecal incontinence symptom, item 11 flatal incontinence symptom, item 13 fecal (rectal) urgency symptom. Affirmative answer is positive for the symptoms.

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited

  3. Female sexual dysfunction symptoms

    Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): total score less or equal to 26 points is positive for female sexual dysfunction risk

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Stress urinary incontinence sign

    Cough stress test: with a comfortable sensation of a full bladder (200-400 mL), it is considered positive when a leakage of urine is visualized at the urethral meatus at the same time as coughing (between 1 and 4 repetitions). If the result is negative, the test should be repeated in a standing position (accessory test).

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited

  2. Pelvic organ prolapse sign

    Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System: the patient with empty bladder and rectum (if possible), the presence, type and stage of pelvic organ prolapse will be assessed by a gynecologist.

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited

  3. Pelvic floor muscle strength

    Manometry: probe will be inserted, calibrated to 0 and asked to perform 3 maximum voluntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscle, 10 seconds break in between, after the verbal instruction "squeeze and lift the probe as strongly as possible". The total score will be the average of the three values. Measured in centimetres of water.

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited

  4. Participant's quality of life

    SF-12 questionnaire: total score greater than 50 points, better quality of life

    Measured: 1 assessment when participants are recruited
