Discriminative Performance and Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of the Study-Specific Composite Questionnaire Including Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire

The authors aimed to evaluate the discriminative performance and preliminary psychometric properties of a study-specific composite questionnaire, including the Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ), to assess vaginal laxity (VL) in women. They found that a VLQ score of ≤ 2 effectively distinguished symptomatic from asymptomatic women, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity. The questionnaire also exhibited good temporal stability and internal consistency for the multi-item symptom cluster, indicating its potential as a reliable tool for assessing VL.
