The Vaizey score, also known as the St. Mark’s incontinence score, is a tool used to assess the severity of fecal incontinence. It is a validated scoring system that evaluates the frequency and impact of incontinence episodes on a patient’s quality of life. The score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating more severe incontinence.
