Factors Associated With Urinary Incontinence In Elderly Individuals Who Meet Frailty Criteria [fatores Associados à Incontinência Urinária Em Idosos Com Critérios De Fragilidade]

This study presents an analysis of factors associated with Urinary Incontinence among elderly individuals who meet frailty criteria (pre-frail and frail). It is a cross-sectional and quantitative study. One hundred elderly patients from a geriatric outpatient clinic at a university hospital in Campinas, SP, Brazil were interviewed. A total of 65.0% of the participants reported Urinary Incontinence, 40 (61.4%) of which reported loss of small quantities of urine several times a day. The multivariate regression analysis showed a statistically significant relationship among gender (OR=3.67), urinary tract infection (OR=6.16), and scores on the Functional Independence Measure (mobility), (OR=0.85). The results show that urinary tract infection, loss of mobility, and gender are factors associated with Urinary Incontinence in elderly patients who meet frailty criteria. These factors are susceptible to interventions designed to prevent and even reduce episodes of Urinary Incontinence.212338347Caldas, C.P., Conceição, I.R.S., José, R.M.C., Silva, B.M.C., Terapia comportamental para incontinência urinária da mulher idosa: Uma ação do enfermeiro (2010) Texto Contexto Enferm, 19 (4), pp. 783-788. , Out-DezKocak, I., Okyay, P., Dundar, H., Erol, H., Beser, E., Female urinary incontinence in the west of Turkey: Prevalence, risk factors and impact on quality of life (2005) Euro Urol, 48, pp. 634-641. , OctAhmed, N., Mandel, R., Fain, M., Frailty: An emerging geriatric syndrome (2007) Am J Med, 120, pp. 748-753. , JulColl-Planas, L., Denkinger, M.D., Nikolaus, T., Relationship of urinary incontinence and latelife disability: Implications for clinical work and research in geriatrics (2008) Z Gerontol Geriat, 11, pp. 283-290. , AugHaylen, B.T., Ridder, D., Freeman, R.M., Swit, S.E., Berghmans, B., Lee, J., An international urogynecological association (IUGA)/International continence society (ICS) joint report on the terminology (2010) Neurol Urodyn, 29, pp. 4-7. , DecTanaka, Y., Nagata, K., Tanaka, T., Kuwano, K., Endo, H., Otani, T., Can an individualized and comprehensive care strategy improve urinary incontinence among nursing home residents?
