ICIQ-SF was effective and convenient for evaluating UI, including the pattern of UI, after RP. Significant correlation, but wide variations, among ICIQ-SF, daily pad use, and the 24-h pad weight test existed. The best evaluation method would be the one that can compare UI status pre- and post-RP using the ICIQ-SF and 24-h pad weight test.
