To analyze factors related to the incidence and remission of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) among women at midlife.

A total of 2115 women participants in a prospective longitudinal survey (GAZEL cohort) were included.

The objective of this study is to determine the incidence and the risk factors of the urinary incontinence in women visiting the Health Family Center.

430 women, who visited three Family Health Centers in the city center of Erzurum for any reason between 25 November and 20 January 2016, were included in this study without any sampling.

Objective: To test the effect of a follow-up clinic on urinary incontinence (UI) and nocturia among older adults with hip fracture. Method: Fifty-three older adults (≥65 years) 3 to 12 months following hip fracture were enrolled and randomized to receive usual care plus the intervention (B4), or usual care (UC) only.

Up to 90 % of nursing home residents with dementia suffer from urinary incontinence with adverse effects on the quality of life. Nurses are often insufficiently prepared for incontinence management and their knowledge is incomplete.

This article looks at incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) from the perspective of urinary incontinence (UI). IAD is caused by urine remaining on the skin following UI, which has many causes. It therefore should be assessed, treated and either resolved or managed to reduce the risk of IAD or its impact.

To compare the prevalence of urinary and bowel symptoms in a sample of adults with early Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy controls (HC).

Data were obtained from the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).

Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is highly prevalent in both men and women and might have negative impact on quality of life. Clinical trials of OAB usually highly select participants that may not reflect the real-world practice of OAB patients.

The objective was to evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the subjective improvement and risk of reoperation after first-time mid-urethral sling surgery.

Data were retrieved from the national Danish Urogynaecological Database, including women with first-time surgery with mid-urethral polypropylene slings from 2011 to 2016.

BACKGROUND - Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent problem within the female population with associated high psycho-social impact. Transobturator tape procedure is a well-established procedure to treat the same, but the results may be influenced by various preoperative demographic and clinical factors.

To assess the effect of urine stream interruption exercise on micturition.

This study was conducted prospectively in female patients without urinary disorders. Two uroflowmetries were performed: one during a usual micturition and one during an exercise of urine stream interruption.

Urinary incontinence is a common condition in women, with a reported prevalence ranging from 25% to 51%. Of these women, an estimated 38% suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI). A European research consortium is investigating an innovative system based on information and communication technology for the conservative treatment of women with SUI.

To assess efficacy, safety, and tolerability of vibegron, a novel, potent, highly selective β3-adrenoceptor agonist, administered 12 weeks at 75 mg once-daily to patients with overactive bladder in an international phase III trial with placebo and active control.

AIMS - The first choice treatment in urinary incontinence (UI) is rehabilitation of the pelvic floor in order to improve muscle strength. However, no entirely reliable instruments for quantifying pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength are currently available.

Injury to the external sphincter during urethroplasty at or near the membranous urethra can result in incontinence in men whose internal sphincter mechanism has been compromised by previous benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery.

A well-functioning pelvic floor muscle plays an important role in maintaining urinary continence. The aim of this study was to describe and compare the intravaginal pressure profile using a multisensor device along the vaginal length in women with and without urinary incontinence (UI), while performing pelvic floor muscle tasks.

Electromotive drug administration (EMDA) presents a minimally-invasive method of intravesical instillation of therapeutic agents without the need for general anesthesia 1. It employs a combination of iontophoresis, electrophoresis, and electroporation to deliver drugs into deep tissue layers using an electrical current created between two electrodes 2.

Surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women using a synthetic midurethral tape has become a standard procedure. One of the complications observed postoperatively are lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

The aims of the study were to investigate desirable evaluation methods for post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) by analyzing the urinary status before robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Questionnaires were evaluated from 155 patients prior to operation.

To investigate the value of repeat botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO).

We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and EBSCO databases for articles published until June 2016.

In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with Behçet disease (BD) and to investigate the relationship between the severity of BD and LUTS.

Previous studies have shown an association between urinary incontinence (UI) and increased mortality, independent of demographics and health status. However, they do not account for the effect of frailty, as a state of vulnerability.

Intact urethral support and normal sphincter function are deemed important for urinary continence. We aimed to test whether the location of urethral kinking (as the likely anatomical correlate of maximal pressure transmission) is associated with stress urinary incontinence and/or urodynamic stress incontinence.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the causes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in postmenopausal female patients (PMFP) and correlate their symptoms with their urodynamic study (UDS) findings.

Current patient-reported outcomes for female urinary incontinence (UI) are limited by their inability to be tailored. Our objective is to describe the development and field testing of seven item banks designed to measure domains identified as important UI in females (UIf).

The aim of this study was to present a novel laparoscopic technique for persistent urinary incontinence in pediatrics due to ectopic ureter associated with poor functioning upper renal moiety.

This technique consisted of laparoscopic clipping of the upper moiety artery and vein.

Laser therapy has a therapeutic role in various medical conditions and most recently has gained interest as a non-hormonal treatment for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and as a non-invasive option for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

To study possible associations between levator ani muscle (LAM) injury and urinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) and possible associations between bladder neck descent (BND), urethral funneling, and UI.

To describe treatment patterns and outcomes in wet-overactive bladder (OAB) patients treated with anticholinergics.

This study was a retrospective claims analysis linked to a one-time patient survey of members of a regional medical group located in California.

Urinary incontinence (UI) represents a complex problem which commonly affects women and influences their physical, mental, and social wellbeing. The objective of this study was to explore the experiences of a group of women with urinary incontinence.

Bladder outlet procedures (BOP) without augmentation cystoplasty (AC)remain controversial. We hypothesized that BOP without AC may lead to unfavorable bladder dynamics, upper tract changes, and/or continued incontinence.

It is widely accepted that neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, when left untreated, has a natural history that has a potential for causing deterioration of renal function over time. However, certain patient profiles are at risk for this and other complications.

To examine the time dependent rates of urinary continence (UC) following open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORRP).

1,995 men undergoing RP were enrolled in a prospective, longitudinal outcomes study.

Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement is the standard for treatment of severe male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). While there is evidence to suggest satisfactory device survival, there is a paucity of data addressing long-term quality of life outcomes.

Achieving continence in children with neurogenic sphincteric incompetence is a challenge. Awareness of the long-term outcome in this young patient population is important. In the past 25 years, the study institution has built experience in bladder outlet procedures such as bladder neck sling and bladder neck reconstructions.

To analyse the safety, efficacy and quality of life of patients with male stress urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy treated with the AdVance(®) and AdvanceXP(®) slings.

To evaluate long-term outcomes of primary implantation and revisions of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in men with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

The medical records of 155 consecutive patients who underwent AMS 800™ implantation from 2003 to 2015 were reviewed.

To assess the long-term patient-reported outcomes following TO-TVT as a secondary continence procedure in women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence (R-SUI).

A secondary analysis of the 9-year follow-up of the E-TOT study was performed: 341 women with predominant SUI symptoms were randomised to undergo either Inside-out or Outside-in TO-TVT between April 2005 and April 2007.

Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinum toxin A (IDIBA) is the third-line therapy for patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). There is few evidence of long-term efficacy but no study assessed reasons for failure or abandonment of IDIBA and CISC (clean intermittent self-catheterization) combined strategy.

Our aim was to compare the long-term results and complications of the outside-in (Monarc®) versus inside-out (TVT-O®) trans-obturator approaches.

We performed a 10-year follow-up of our randomised study from 2007 in which we compared short-term outcomes of both procedures in 120 women.

Although operative delivery increases the risk of immediate pelvic floor trauma, no previous studies have adequately compared directly the effects of different kinds of instrumental vaginal deliveries on stress urinary incontinence and/or urgency urinary incontinence.

To present the long-term effects of repeat onabotulinumtoxinA 100U treatment on health-related quality of life in overactive bladder patients with urinary incontinence who had an inadequate response to/were intolerant of an anticholinergic.

Urinary incontinence is a major concern for patients scheduled for radical prostatectomy. However, after prostatectomy lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) may improve and thus mitigate this concern.

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) can frequently be seen in pregnant women. Pregnancy and delivery have been considered as risk factors in the occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction and determinants of LUTS.

Pharmacological treatment is a cornerstone in the management of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

To review emerging evidence in the medical treatment of LUTS.

An Embase/Pubmed-based literature search was conducted in December 2017, screening for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective series, animal model studies, and reviews on medical treatment of LUTS.

To evaluate the subjective and objective outcomes of MacroplastiqueR (MPQ) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) secondary to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD).
