Abstract
The aim of this review is to summarise the related characteristics of the natural history of female urinary incontinence (UI) using a narrative descriptive approach. PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science were searched for articles published from 1 January 2010 to 1 January 2020 on the natural history of female UI, which including incidence, persistence, progression, remission, and regression of a single subtype of UI and the mutual influence of different UI subtypes. This literature review includes 15 articles published, indicates that UI is highly dynamic, with symptoms varying according to disease severity and subtype and influenced by multiple factors at different disease stages. Recent studies have increased our understanding of the natural history of UI. Future research should systematically analyse the progression of each subtype of UI and interactions between subtypes to prevent the progression of UI across females life course.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the association between multimorbidity and urinary incontinence (UI) among community living older adults with complex needs in sex-specific crude and adjusted analyses. METHODS Since 2012 in Aotearoa | New Zealand (NZ) all community-living older people with complex needs who require publicly funded assistance undergo a comprehensive standardized geriatric needs assessment using the interRAI-HC instrument. Consenting adults aged ≥65 years who undertook this assessment between July 5, 2012 and December 31, 2020 were investigated. Multimorbidity was defined as having ≥2 chronic conditions. Recent bladder incontinence episodes were elicited and UI dichotomized into continent and incontinent groups. RESULTS The study included 140 401 participants with an average age of 82.0 years (range: 65-107 years), of whom 85 746 (61.1%) were female. Overall, 36 185 (42.2%) females and 17 988 (32.9%) males reported UI. Participants had a median of 3 (range: 0-12) chronic conditions, with 109 135 (77.9%) classified as having multimorbidity. In adjusted modified Poisson regression analyses, the prevalence ratio for UI was 1.21 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19, 1.24) times higher in females and 1.18 (95% CI: 1.14, 1.22) times higher for males with multimorbidity compared to those without multimorbidity. CONCLUSIONS Although significant, the estimated sex-specific effect sizes were modest for the association between multimorbidity and UI in this population. However, despite using the comprehensive interRAI-HC instrument, several potentially core chronic conditions were not adequately captured. Although increasingly recognized as an important and growing public health issue, capturing all relevant chronic conditions challenges many epidemiological investigations into multimorbidity.

Investigating mortality and morbidity associated with UrINary incontinence during Older Womens Secondary Care Admissions and exploring nurses experiences of delivering related care (U-INconti): a mixed methods research protocol. BMJ Open 2023; 13:e067937. [PMID: 37899148 PMCID: PMC10619080 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2022-067937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urinary incontinence (UI) is associated with increasing age and is more frequently experienced by women. Despite 40% prevalence in the community, little is known about the prevalence/incidence of UI in older women during hospital admission. UI during hospital admissions, within this group, has also been under-researched in terms of its relationship to specific clinical conditions and mortality rates. Given that UI has serious implications for both patient care and women's general health and well-being on discharge, this protocol describes a planned research project which aims to determine mortality, morbidity, prevalence and incidence of UI in older women (≥55 years) during hospital admission to inform nursing practice. Additionally, it aims to explore the experience of nurses who deliver women's care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is an explanatory mixed-methods study consisting of two phases: (1) retrospecitive analysis of electronic patient care records (EPCR) to determine prevalence/incidence of UI, clinical conditions most likely associated with UI and any associations between UI and death, (2) nurse interviews to explore views, knowledge and perceptions of performing the nursing assessment and providing care for older women (≥55 years) with UI during admission. EPCR will be gained from a National Health Service (NHS) teaching hospital. Nurse interviews will be conducted with nurses from an alternative but similar-sized NHS hospital. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval is provided by the University of Salford Ethics Committee and regulatory approval by the NHS Health Research Authority (Integrated Research Application System project ID: 303118). Local NHS trust approval to access electronic care records for the purposes of analysis of anonymised data has been provided by one of the two collaborating NHS hospitals. Findings will be disseminated through open-access geriatric or urogynaecology journals and presented to relevant stakeholders at local, national and international meetings including scientific meetings such as the UK Continence Society and International Continence Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the association between sleep duration and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) among adult women. METHODS Cross-sectional data were retrieved from the 2005-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. To explore the association between sleep duration and urgency urinary incontinence, multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis was carried out. RESULTS Among 9204 adult women, the weighted urinary incontinence prevalence was 31% for urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). The fully adjusted multivariable model revealed that participants with short (< 7 h) or long (> 9 h) sleep duration were more likely to report UUI compared to participants with normal (7-9 h) sleep duration (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.03-1.40, p = 0.02, OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.11-1.76, p = 0.005, respectively). Subgroup analysis showed no significant interaction. Furthermore, additional analysis demonstrated a U-shaped correlation between sleep duration and incident UUI. CONCLUSION The non-linear association exists between sleep duration and urgency urinary incontinence. Compared with insufficient or excessive sleep, normal sleep duration is related to lower prevalence of urgency urinary incontinence. Future prospective longitudinal studies should be conducted to further investigate and determine the degree of the association between sleep time and urgent urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence in women 55 years and older: A scoping review to understand prevalence, incidence, and mortality of urinary incontinence during secondary care admission. WOMEN'S HEALTH (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2023; 19:17455057231179061. [PMID: 37326364 PMCID: PMC10278415 DOI: 10.1177/17455057231179061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 40% of older women living in the community experience urinary incontinence. In community settings, urinary incontinence impacts the quality of life, morbidity, and mortality rates. However, little is known about urinary incontinence and its impact on older women admitted to hospitals. OBJECTIVES This scoping review aims to establish the current knowledge of urinary incontinence during hospital admission for women (⩾ 55 years of age) with three key objectives: (a) What is the prevalence/incidence of urinary incontinence? (b) What health conditions are associated with urinary incontinence? (c) Is there an association between urinary incontinence and mortality? ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Empirical studies were included in assessing the incidence/prevalence of urinary incontinence during hospital admissions and its related morbidities and mortality rates. Studies which only included men or younger women (< 55 years of age) were excluded. Only articles written in English and conducted between 2015 and 2021 were included. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE A search strategy was developed, and CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases were searched. CHARTING METHODS Data from each article meeting the criteria were pulled into a table, including study design, study population, and setting, aims, methods, outcome measures, and significant findings. A second researcher then reviewed the populated data extraction table. RESULTS Overall, 383 papers were found: 7 met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Prevalence rates ranged from 22% to 80% depending on the study cohort. Several conditions were associated with urinary incontinence, including frailty, orthopaedics, stroke, palliative care, neurology, and cardiology. There was a potential positive association between mortality and urinary incontinence, although only two papers reviewed reported mortality. CONCLUSION A dearth of literature determined the prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates for older women admitted to hospitals. Limited consensus on associated conditions was found. Further research is needed to fully explore urinary incontinence in older women during hospital admissions, particularly concerning prevalence/incidence and its association with mortality.

Abstract
We conducted a study to assess the characteristics, scope of activity, and negative emotions in elderly women with urinary incontinence (UI) based on a longitudinal follow-up conducted in Shanghai, China from 2013 to 2019. A total of 3,531 elderly women were included in the final analysis, and 697 women who experienced UI during follow-up were included in the UI group. Subjects with UI were subdivided into those with partial UI (UI once a day or less) and UI (frequent UI). Two thousand eight hundred and thirty-four women who did not have UI during the same period served as the control group. The prevalence of UI was 19.74% in this study. Logistic regression analysis revealed that being older (> 80 years of age), having a high level of education (> 12 years; elderly people with a high level of education may pay more attention to their health and notice UI more readily), a low personal monthly income (≤ 3,000 RMB), more gravidity/parity, and having a chronic disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dementia, or Parkinson's disease) were risk factors for UI (p < 0.05). About 60% of women in the partial UI group engaged in daily activities outdoors, while this number decreased sharply to 3.6% in the UI group. Women in the UI group were more likely to have negative emotions, such as depression, anxiety, irritability, or feeling worthless (p < 0.001). Among elderly women with dementia, those with UI had defects in terms of judgment in everyday life, the ability of convey information, and the ability to understand information (p < 0.05). More attention needs to be paid to the adverse effects of UI on activities of daily living (ADL) and mental health in the future.

Abstract
Background People with cognitive impairment may be exposed to an increased risk of comorbidities; however, the clustering of comorbidity patterns in these patients is unclear. Objective To explore the network structure of chronic comorbidity in a U.S. national sample spanning all 50 U.S. states with more than 170,000 participants reporting perceived cognitive impairment. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) secondary data collected in 2019 and covering 49 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. A total of 15,621 non-institutionalized U.S. adult participants who reported "yes" to the subjective cognitive impairment question were considered, of whom 7,045 were men and 8,576 were women. All participants were aged 45 years or older. A statistical graphical model was used that included clustering algorithms and factorization of variables in a multivariate network relationship system [exploratory graphical analysis (EGA)]. Results The results of the EGA show associations between the comorbid conditions evaluated. These associations favored the clustering of various comorbidity patterns. In fact, three patterns of comorbidities have been identified: (1) arthritis, asthma, respiratory diseases, and depression, (2) obesity, diabetes, blood pressure high, and blood cholesterol high, and (3) heart attack, coronary heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Conclusion These results suggest the development of interdisciplinary treatment strategies in patients with perceived cognitive impairment, which could help to design an integrated prevention and management of the disease and other related health problems, such as Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary incontinence affects up to half of women, yet few speak to their health care provider about or receive treatment for the condition. To aid with identifying subpopulations at risk for urinary incontinence, we examined the associations between 10 chronic health conditions and urinary incontinence among Canadian adult females. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of survey data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2013-2014) involving female respondents aged 25 years or older living in a private dwelling. Presence of chronic conditions and urinary incontinence were measured by self-report. We used logistic regression modelling with sampling weights, controlling for age, income, ethnicity, body mass index and smoking. Multiple imputation and probabilistic bias analysis were used to address missing covariate data and unmeasured confounding from parity. RESULTS Our analysis included 60 186 respondents representing more than 12 million Canadian females, of whom 45.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 45.0%-46.6%) reported at least 1 chronic condition. Chronic conditions were associated with more than twice the odds of urinary incontinence (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.42, 95% CI 2.02-2.89). Associations were largest for bowel disorders (adjusted OR 2.92, 95% CI 2.44-3.49); modest for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (adjusted OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.63-2.45), asthma (adjusted OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.52-2.19), arthritis (adjusted OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.74-2.24) and heart disease (adjusted OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.48-2.02); and smallest for diabetes (adjusted OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.02-1.41) and high blood pressure (adjusted OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.12-1.44). Results slightly attenuated but did not substantively change after imputation and bias analysis. INTERPRETATION We found that chronic conditions are associated with significantly higher odds of comorbid urinary incontinence among Canadian adult females, which is consistent with previous research. Our findings support routine inquiry regarding urinary incontinence symptoms among women accessing health care for chronic conditions.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Population aging is becoming the most important driver of the CVD epidemic. With the rapid increase in an aging population, the burden of CVD will continuously increase. Most old people also suffer multimorbidity, which is strongly associated with impaired quality of life, disability, dependence, and mortality. However, few reviews evaluated the CVD burden accompanied by population aging and the challenges of CVD care in elderly individuals with multimorbidity. This review identified and summarized the current status of the CVD epidemic associated with aging and highlighted the challenges and needs of CVD care for the elderly.

Abstract
Recent findings show that oxidative damage may contribute to lower urinary tract symptoms. Copper can induce oxidative stress while zinc is involved in the defense against oxidative stress. We examined the associations between serum copper and zinc levels and urinary incontinence (UI) in adult women. Data were retrieved from the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Outcomes for multivariate logistic regression were any UI (AUI), urge UI (UUI), stress UI (SUI), mixed UI (MUI), and moderate/severe UI. Questions on urinary incontinence were asked by trained interviewers. The weighted UI prevalences were 44.89% for AUI, 28.12% for UUI, 41.64% for SUI, 17.27% for MUI, and 20.79% for moderate/severe UI in adult women. After adjusting for multiple factors, serum copper levels in the highest quartile were associated with UUI [odds ratios (95% confidence intervals): 1.74 (1.11-2.74)]. In women older than 50 years, serum copper levels in the highest quartile were associated with UUI [2.94 (1.57-5.49)], AUI [1.97 (1.19-3.27)], MUI [2.43 (1.19-4.97)], and moderate/severe UI [2.37 (1.06-5.31)]. Serum copper levels in the second quartile were also associated with MUI overall [1.75 (1.03-2.97)] and in young women (20-49 years) [2.29 (1.02-5.17)]. Positive associations were also found between serum copper levels and UUI in non-obese women. There were no associations between serum zinc levels and UI outcomes. Serum copper levels were associated with UUI, MUI, AUI, and moderate/severe UI in adult women, especially women older than 50 years. Causality deserves to be confirmed further.

ZEITSCHRIFT FUR EVIDENZ FORTBILDUNG UND QUALITAET IM GESUNDHEITSWESEN 2020; 150-152:73-79. [PMID: 32439424 DOI: 10.1016/j.zefq.2020.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 02/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Two thirds of women suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI) reported a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). SUI can also lead to less physical activity and more comorbidities. SUI may result in a substantial economic burden on health care services but numbers are not clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the health status, the comorbidities and the health costs of women with SUI living in the Canton of Bern (Switzerland). METHODS This cost-of-illness (COI) study was embedded in an RCT (n=96) exploring the effect of two pelvic floor muscle training protocols in women with SUI. A prevalence-based COI study with a societal perspective and a bottom-up approach was applied. Baseline demographics, comorbidities and cost data were collected prospectively during 16 weeks. Descriptive statistics, a frequency and a one-way sensitivity analysis were performed. RESULTS Thirty-seven participants volunteered in this COI study. About 95 % had at least one comorbidity. The most commonly reported problem was back pain (47.6 %). Fifty-one percent consulted a medical doctor, the prevalence of drug consumption was 70 %, 11 % reported less efficiency whilst working and 30 % less physical activity. Mental stress was mentioned by 59.5 % of the participants. The average health costs were CHF 2256. DISCUSSION This COI study provided data on health status, comorbidities, QoL, health care use, productivity losses and costs of SUI. The high prevalence of comorbidities observed in this study was comparable to obese females of a similar age group. The high economic burden of SUI requires cost-effective preventive actions and clinical treatment concepts.

Abstract
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are complicated and cannot be used alone to diagnose lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTDs) and guide treatment. Patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), impaired detrusor contractility, and hypersensitive bladder might present with voiding predominant symptoms, whereas patients with detrusor overactivity (DO), dysfunctional voiding, or BOO might also present with storage symptoms. To clearly identify the pathophysiology of LUTD, a comprehensive urodynamic study (UDS) including pressure flow and image during the storage and emptying phases, naming videourodynamic study (VUDS), is necessary. This study is especially mandatory in the diagnosis of (1) male LUTS refractory to medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, (2) female voiding dysfunction and urinary retention, (3) diagnosis of overactive bladder syndrome refractory to first-line medication, (4) management of female stress urinary incontinence and postoperative LUTS, (5) diagnosis and management of neurogenic LUTD, (6) pediatric urinary incontinence and enuresis, (7) geriatric urinary incontinence, and (8) recurrent bacterial cystitis. Although VUDS should not be used as a screening test for any LUTS, it should be considered when the initial management cannot relieve LUTS, or when invasive surgical procedure is planning to undertake for patients with refractory LUTS. VUDS should be recommended as the second-line investigation when the initial diagnosis and treatment based on the symptoms alone or noninvasive tests fail to improve LUTS.

Abstract
Urinary incontinence (UI) is common among women and contributes to decreased quality of life. Several effective treatment options are available for the most common types of UI (stress, urge, and mixed), including lifestyle and behavioral therapy, drug therapy, and minimally invasive procedures. Most women improve with treatment, and UI is not an inevitable part of aging. To maximize the opportunity for successful treatment, it is critical to align the treatment approach with patient goals and expectations for care, including an assessment of patient-driven priorities regarding potential adverse effects, costs, and expected benefit of different treatment approaches.

Abstract
AIMS To identify epidemiological studies of mechanical low back pain and urinary dysfunction, and to identify potential evidence supporting a mechanism for this relationship. METHODS A systematic online search was conducted of EmBASE, Medline, CINAHL, and PEDro databases. We excluded studies where an obvious link between low back pain and urinary dysfunction exists (such as cauda equina syndrome). Two reviewers used inclusion/exclusion criteria to screen the articles. Data were extracted and summarised with a narrative review, and study quality was assessed. RESULTS We included 22/930 studies. Twelve studies addressed the epidemiological link between low back pain and urinary symptoms. The studies all found a statistically significant association between the diagnosis of urinary incontinence or urinary symptoms and low back pain, (aOR's 1.1 to 3.1). Results were consistent when stratified by sex, age, and when adjusted for confounders. The study quality was good in 4/12. Eight studies reported on an assessment/intervention related to pelvic floor function, urinary symptoms and low back pain. Pelvic floor dysfunction was common in women with low back pain, however randomized studies and pre-post studies reported mixed results for pelvic floor physiotherapy improving low back pain. The study quality was good in 3/8. CONCLUSIONS Low back pain and urinary incontinence are associated in large epidemiological studies, and the presence of one condition seems to predispose the development of the other. There is limited evidence to suggest pelvic floor interventions are useful for low back pain in this patient population, therefore the mechanism for this relationship is still unclear.
