Urinary Incontinence And The Criteria Of Frailness Among The Elderly Outpatients [incontinência Urinária E Os Critérios De Fragilidade Em Idosos Em Atendimento Ambulatorial]

The objectives of this study were to verify the occurrence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its characteristics in pre-frail and frail elderly patients of a geriatrics outpatient clinic, compare the presence of frailness criteria among the elderly with and without UI and identify among the frailty criteria the chance of risk for UI among those elderly outpatients. Participants were 100 elderly individuals, with an average age of 76.2 years, 65 participants reported UI, 71.3% of which presented three or more frailness criteria. The occurrence of UI was greater in frail participants (p=0.0011). Multivariate analysis showed that the criteria slowness (OR=4.99) and exhaustion (OR=4.85) has a statistically significant relation with UI. The occurrence of UI was high and participants who presented slowness have a risk almost five times greater to presenting UI while those reporting exhaustion have a risk five times greater for UI compared to those without these criteria.453672678Silva, A.P.M., Santos, V.L.C.G., Prevalência da incontinência urinária em adultos e idosos hospitalizados (2005) Rev Esc Enferm USP, 39 (1), pp. 36-45Santos, C.R.S.S., Santos, VLCG.S., Epidemiologia das incontinências urinária e anal combinadas (2009) Acta Paul Enferm, 22 (3), pp. 328-330Haylen, 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 for female pelvic floor dysfunction (2010) Neurourol Urodyn, 29 (1), pp. 4-20Du Moulin, M.F., Hamers, J.P.H., Ambergen, A.W., Halfens, R.J.G., Urinary incontinence in older adults receiving home care diagnosis and strategies (2009) Scand J Caring Sci, 23 (2), pp. 222-230Inouye, S.K., Studenski, S., Tinetti, M.E., Kuchel, G.A., Geriatric syndromes, clinical, researche, and policy implications of a core geriatrics concept (2007) Am Geriatr Soc, 55 (5), pp. 780-791Padrós, J., Peris, T., Salva, A., Denkinger, M.D., Coll-Planas, L., Evaluation of a urinary incontinence unit for communitydwelling older adults in Barcelona, improvement of the perceived and severity of urinary incontinence (2008) Z Gerontol Geriatr, 41 (4), pp. 291-297Lee, P.G., Cigolle, C., Blaum, C., The co-ocorrence of chronic diseases and geriatric syndromes, the health and retirement study (2009) J Am Geriatr Soc, 57 (3), pp. 511-516Coll-Planas, L., Denkinger, M.D., Nikolaus, T., Relationship of urinary incontinence and late-life disability, implications for clinical work and research in geriatrics (2008) Z Gerontol Geriatr, 41 (4), pp. 283-290DuBeau, C.E., Kuchel, G.A., Jhonson, T., Palmer, M.H., Wagg, A., Incontinence in frail elderly, report from the 4th International Consultation on Incontinence (2010) Neurourol Urodyn, 29 (1), pp. 165-178Rockwood, K., Hogan, D.B., MacKnigh, D., Conceptualisation and measurement of frailty in elderly people (2000) Drugs Aging, 17 (4), pp. 295-302Fried, L.P., Tangen, C.M., Walston, J., Newman, A.B., Hirsch, C., Gottdiner, J., Frailty in older adults, evidence for a phenotype (2001) J Gerontol, 5 (3), pp. 146-151Ahmed, N., Mandel, R., Fain, M., Frailty, an emerging geriatric syndrome (2007) Am J Med, 120 (9), pp. 748-753Bertolucci, P.H.F., Brucki, S.M.D., Capamacci, S., Juliano, Y., O miniexame do estado mental em uma população geral, impacto da escolaridade (1994) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 52 (1), pp. 1-7Batistoni, S.S., Neri, A.L., Cupertino, A.P., Validade da escala de depressão do Center for Epidemiological Studies entre idosos brasileiros (2007) Rev Saúde Pública, 41 (4), pp. 598-605Tamanini, J.T.N., Dambros, M., Dáncona, C.A.L., Palma, P.C.R., Netto Junior, N.R., Validação para o português do " International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form" (ICIQ-SF) (2004) Rev Saúde Publica, 38 (3), pp. 438-444Hatcher, L., (1994) A step-by-step approach to using SAS System for factor analysis and structural equation modeling, , Cary (NC), SAS InstituteTamanini, J.T., Lebrão, M.L., Duarte, Y.A.O., Santos, J.L.F., Laurenti, R., Analysis of the prevalence and factors associeted with urinary incontinence among elderly people in the Municipality of São Paulo, Brazil, SABE Study (Health, Wellneing and Aging) (2009), 25 (8), pp. 1756-1762. , Cad Saúde PúblicaMiu, D.K., Lau, S., Szeto, S.S., Etiology and predictors of urinary incontinence and its effects on quality of life (2010) Geriatr Gerontol Int, 10 (2), pp. 177-182Lazari, I.C.F., Lojudice, D.C., Marota, A.G., Avaliação da qualidade de vida de idosas com incontinência urinária, idosas institucionalizadas em instituição de longa permanência (2009) Rev Bras Geriatr Gerontol, 12 (1), pp. 103-112Phelan, S., Grodstein, F., Brown, J.S., Clinical research in diabetes and urinary incontinence, what we know and need to know (2009) J Urol, 182 (6 SUPPL.), pp. S14-S17Kim, H., Suzuki, T., Yoshida, Y., Yoshida, H., Effectiveness of multidimensional exercises for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in elderly community-dwelling Japanese women, a randomized, controlled, crossover trial (2007) J Am Geriatr Soc, 55 (12), pp. 1932-1939Jhonson, T.M., Bernard, S.L., Kincade, J.E., Defries, G.H., Urinary incontinence and risk of death among community-living elderly people, results from the National Survey on Self-care and Aging (2000) J Aging Health, 12 (1), pp. 24-4
