Using absorbent products to manage the urinary incontinence (UI) of dependent residents in care facilities (such as nursing homes, and hospitals) requires frequent routine checks throughout the day and night to see if products need changing.
To describe the prevalence, and severity of urinary incontinence (UI) among female recruits during basic training and their knowledge and practice of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). Furthermore, to determine if there is a relationship between the severity of UI and PFMT knowledge and practice.
While nearly 50% of adult women report at least one episode of urinary incontinence (UI), most never receive treatment.
To better integrate primary and specialty UI care, we conducted (i) an environmental scan to assess the availability of key pathway resources in primary care, (ii) interviews with primary care providers to understand barriers to care, and (iii) a pilot UI care pathway intervention.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is closely related to obesity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of a novel anthropometric indicator weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) with UI.
This cross-sectional study used the data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2018.
Cross-sectional and short-term cohort studies have demonstrated an association between urinary incontinence and dementia, as well as lower performance on cognitive testing. The Health and Retirement Study, a longitudinal study of community-dwelling older adults, offers an opportunity to assess the temporal association between these conditions because it included an assessment of incontinence symptoms and biennial assessments of cognitive function.
To describe long-term lower urinary tract outcomes and incontinence management after AUS erosion, including risk factors associated with each outcome.
We retrospectively reviewed our prospectively maintained AUS database for men undergoing device explantation for urethral erosion from 1/1/1986-10/31/2023.
To explore the relationship between racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities and self-reported work productivity in urinary incontinence females.
This was a retrospective observational and secondary analysis of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases database trials.
Guideline-recommended medications for overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence (OAB/UUI) are effective but have high costs and side effects. Little is known about patient concerns regarding these medications when prescribed by their primary care providers (PCPs).
To describe urinary incontinence prevalence for New Zealand women.
The New Zealand Health Survey Adult Sexual and Reproductive Health module 2014/2015 was used to estimate urinary incontinence prevalence.
To evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT in providing insights into common urinary incontinence concerns within urogynecology. By analyzing the model's responses against established benchmarks of accuracy, completeness, and safety, the study aimed to quantify its usefulness for informing patients and aiding healthcare providers.
To describe an active-learning laboratory on urinary incontinence (UI) and its effect on students' confidence and comfort in addressing UI.
Second year pharmacy students (n = 98) participated in an active-learning laboratory focused on UI with four components: catheter lecture and demonstration, UI product overview, hands-on practice with UI absorbent products, and a debrief on the activity focused on difficult conversations.
Incontinence is a common, distressing condition, most prevalent in older people. There is an unmet need for effective interventions to support continence. This review focuses on non-pharmacological interventions to reduce incontinence among homebound older people.
Urinary microbiome (urobiome) studies have previously reported on specific taxa and community differences in women with mixed urinary incontinence compared with controls. Therefore, a hypothesis was made that higher urinary and vaginal microbiome diversity would be associated with increased urinary incontinence severity.
Urinary incontinence (UI) affects millions of women with substantial health and quality-of-life impacts. Supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the recommended first-line treatment. However, multiple individual and institutional barriers impede women's access to skilled care.
Urinary incontinence affects 25-45% of women with the gold standard surgical approach being placement of mid-urethral synthetic slings; tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and trans-obturator tape (TOT).
This study utilized latent profile analysis to investigate care needs subgroups among older adults with urinary incontinence.
The "Elderly Urinary Incontinence Care Needs Inventory" surveyed 510 participants in two Guangzhou City hospitals from July 2022 to June 2023.
