Popis: Objective To translate the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) and to evaluate their psychometric properties in Danish women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse. Design and setting Cross-sectional, university hospital setting. Sample Women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (n = 132). Methods A panel of gynecologists performed three independent translations, which were combined and psychometrically evaluated through interviews and pretesting. Main outcome measures Construct, content and convergent validity. Internal consistency and reliability. Sensitivity to change, responsiveness and minimal clinical important difference. Results After two revisions PFDI-20 demonstrated good construct and content validity but PFIQ-7 showed major ceiling effect and lacked items describing affection of health-related quality of life. Convergent validity was moderate with only single items of PFDI-20 correlating with the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) and only weak to moderate correlations between PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 scores. Cronbach's alpha and inter-item-total correlation analysis were satisfactory overall. Intra-class correlation coefficient demonstrated good reliability for all but one subscale (r = 0.701–0.894 p
