Questions 1st-3th on the MISIF scale indicate stress incontinence severity, 4th-6th questions measure the severity of urge incontinence, and 1st-8th questions measure the severity of incontinence. There points above indicate stress incontinence and the total score of questions 4-6 indicates 5 points and above for urge incontinence severity.A score higher than the given cut-off values indicates that the severity of incontinence is worsening.
