Due to the lack of an established measurement standard, this scoping review aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of tools, which assess incontinence-related symptoms and quality of life (QOL) during this period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Articles in English, which assessed psychometric properties of tools for perinatal incontinence-related symptoms or QOL, were included and evaluated by a 16-item checklist.

The modified Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (mPFQ), Leakage Index (LI), and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire\u2013Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) demonstrated internal consistency (Cronbach's \u03b1 &gt; 0.60, &gt;0.70, and mean inter-item correlations &gt;0.39, respectively). The mPFQ demonstrated moderate test\u2013retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient &gt;0.60). Construct validity of the ICIQ-UI SF was established by significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) differences across age and obesity, whereas the mPFQ demonstrated significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) discriminant validity in symptoms prepartum and postpartum.
