One of the obstacles is the lack of validated questionnaires.\u00a0This study was aimed at validating the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire\u2013Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-LUTS), which measures filling, voiding, and incontinence symptoms, in transmasculine individuals.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n              <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n              <jats:p>This is an observational validation study that included transmasculine individuals receiving care within a single tertiary care hospital system. Construct validity was assessed by comparing the ICIQ-LUTS with severity of LUTS as measured by the Urinary Distress Inventory\u2013Short Form (UDI-6), and concurrent validity by the association between ICIQ-LUTS and the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC). Discriminant validity was determined by comparing ICIQ-LUTS scores in those with and those without self-reported LUTS. Spearman correlation, <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> test, and Kruskal\u2013Wallis test were used for data analysis.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n              <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n              <jats:p>A total of 131 respondents were included in the analysis. Only two individuals (1.5%) reported prior vaginectomy and\/or phalloplasty. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by a significant association between ICIQ-LUTS subscales and PPBC (filling <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001, voiding <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001, incontinence <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Construct validity was demonstrated by a significant correlation between ICIQ-LUTS and UDI-6 (filling \u03c1\u2009=\u20090.76, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; voiding \u03c1\u2009=\u20090.48, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; incontinence \u03c1\u2009=\u20090.61, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
