Abstract
Fecal incontinence and constipation are benign conditions that can have a significant effect on the lifestyles of those affected. In order for clinicians to better understand a patient's baseline symptoms and, more importantly, to have a measure that can evaluate and compare different treatments and their outcomes, patient-validated self-report tools that assess symptoms and quality of life are essential.
