The APFQ was translated into Spanish and back-translated into its original language by native speakers; it was verified that there was a semantic similarity. A pilot test was carried out on a group of 10 women. The study sample was made up of 104 subjects. They were asked to fill in the APFQ twice, 15 days apart. Codes were assigned so they could link to the test and retest. The Questionnaire on Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions–short version (PFDI-20) and the Women’s Sexual Function Questionnaire (FSM) were also completed. The reliability, criterion and construct validity, and stability were studied. A Cronbach’s alpha of 0.795 was obtained from the complete questionnaire. For each dimension, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.864 for bladder function; 0.796 for bowel function; 0.851 for prolapse; and 0.418 for sexual function (0.67 with the suppression of item 37). The APFQ shows a significant correlation with PFDI-20 in urinary function (rho: 0.704, p = 0.000), intestinal function (rho: 0.462, p = 0.000), and prolapse symptoms (rho: 0.337, p = 0.000). The test-retest analysis showed high reproducibility. The Spanish version of the APFQ is a reliable and valid tool to assess symptoms and impacts on quality of life due to pelvic floor dysfunctions in the Spanish population. However, a review of some of its items could increase its reliability Medrano-Sánchez EM, Pérez-Carricondo A, Beteta-Romero P, Díaz-Mohedo E.
