Core Tip	There are different scales for measuring the severity and impact of faecal incontinence (FI), but no together. The authors recommend the combined use of them to get a complete evaluation of FI. The aim of the present study is to implement a quick and simple test to assess faecal incontinence - the rapid assessment faecal incontinence score - and show its reliability and validity. Its validity and reliability has been proved when compared with other widely used scores.
