ABSTRACT
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a group of clinical syndromes that occur due to structural damage and dysfunction of the pelvic floor.These syndromes include pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and pelvic pain.Elderly women have a high prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction, with approximately 50% being affected.The symptoms of this condition have a significant impact on the quality of life in the elderly population.Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the severity of symptoms and their impact for the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction in elderly women.To aid in this evaluation, symptom and quality of life questionnaires are important tools in clinical care.However, the wide range of clinical questionnaires available for pelvic floor dysfunction, which are not specifically tailored to elderly women, has caused confusion among clinicians regarding their selection, utilization, and evaluation.This article utilizes CiteSpace to identify key research areas and frequently used questionnaires in the field.It also introduces methods for applying and assessing symptom and quality of life surveys, with the aim of enhancing clinicians' proficiency in evaluating pelvic floor dysfunction, particularly in elderly women.
