## What is FI Stool Diary?

©Neurogut 2018   FECAL INCONTINENCE STOOL DIARY INSTRUMENT


Basic description: The Fecal Incontinence Stool Diary Instrument (FISDI) is a list of patient-reported symptoms for the evaluation of accidental stool leakage also known as fecal Incontinence, and other bowel problems associated with this condition. Fecal incontinence affects 9% of the adult US population and at least 25% of nursing home residents. Fecal incontinence is associated with multiple bowel and stool-related symptoms. Because of the irregular and unpredictable nature of bowel habit, including accidental loss of stool and or gas, and difficulty with either remembering or recalling these symptoms, a prospective assessment of patient-reported bowel and stooling-related symptoms is important, both for use in clinical trials, and for the assessment of patients with fecal incontinence.

### 2/5 — In support of clinical research…

*2023-01-03*

I believe this app has a lot of potential… it’s stable and does what it purports to do. However, I do not see how well the data collection meets all six dimensions of clinical data quality: accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, validity, and uniqueness. Most glaringly: some questions are ambiguous while others really don’t capture the details that would make a client’s answer „complete“…. There are other nitpicks I’d make but I don’t think they’re worth noting here. On the plus side; the app is very stable, lightweight and easy to use. I would like to see the developer add the ability to correct entries even if on for a limited period after submission. The reporting feature is a tad clunky, but works. It would be nice to allow participants a limited period to add any missed days or at least confirm that they didn’t complete a day because there was no entry to be made. Perhaps a notification asking the participant if they would like to add an entry at the end of the day? Or a reminder feature for when an entry hasn’t been made by a certain hour of the day?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-08-20*

Horrible tool to document fecal incontinence. Ambiguous questions asked. Some questions uninterpretable. Unanswerable questions. No way to edit responses (correct mistakes). No way to make an entry for a prior day. For example, I may not have made an entry at 11pm when I should have, if, for example, If forgot, or I did not have my phone with me. When the clock strikes twelve, I can no longer make that entry.  I cannot imagine that this tool can provide valid, useful information.
