Urinary Continence Index for Prediction of Urinary Incontinence in Older Women
Urinary IncontinenceThis study will analyse existing data to establish a clinically useful index to predict those women who are more likely to become incontinent. This would create significant opportunities for focused prevention and early intervention strategies.
A Study on Accuracy Improvement of Repeated Measure Uroflowmetry- Electromyography
EnuresisUroflowmetry(UF) has been the standard first-line diagnostic tool for the evaluation of pediatric voiding dysfunction. But recently, UF combined with pelvic flow electromyography(EMG) is emphasized and recommended to analyze the separate contributions of the detrusor and bladder outlet and sole UF is discouraged except for the follow-up study after abnormal UF/EMG result(Bauer et al., 2015). However, electrode itself can disturb pelvic floor relaxation and there is no evidence about necessity of consecutive UF/EMG test. Therefore, the investigators are going to compare three different methods (Primary-Secondary: UF/EMG-UF/EMG, UF/EMG-sole UF, sole UF-UF/EMG)
Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women With Multiple Sclerosis
Urinary IncontinenceStress1 moreObjective: To report the prevalence and risk factors of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and the prevalence of intrinsic sphincter deficiency in women with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among Female patients with MS, followed for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during a 15-year period. Demographic data, MS history, expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score at the urodynamic visit, obstetrical past, birth weight, LUTS, and urodynamic findings were collected. SUI was defined as incontinence during cough, or any effort. A maximum urethral closure pressure less than 30 cm H2O defined intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Results: In total 363 women with a mean age of 46.7±10.8 years and a mean disease duration of 12.9±8.7 years were included. The incidence of relapsing remitting MS, a secondary progressive form, and a primary progressive form was 60.6%, 32.8%, and 6.6%, respectively. The prevalence of SUI was 31.4%. The prevalence of intrinsic sphincter deficiency was 1.4% and 0.8% of these patients had a SUI (P=0.300). In a multivariate analysis, women with a SUI had significantly higher birth weight (P=0.030), a pelvic organ prolapse (P=0.021), urgent urinary incontinence (P=0.006), a lower EDSS score (P=0.019), and a weaker containing effort (P<0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of SUI in women with MS was 31.4%. This symptom could affect the quality of life of women with MS.
Stress Urinary Incontinence of Sporting Teenager
Urinary IncontinenceStressPhysical activity and sport are beneficial to the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system and many chronic pathologies. The High Authority of Health (HAS) recommends a regular practice. However, depending on the discipline and level of practice, it may be responsible for traumatic injuries, degenerative musculoskeletal injuries, overtraining, eating disorders or cardiovascular events. It also promotes urinary stress incontinence, by increasing intra-abdominal pressure in some situations. The prevalence of urinary leakage in the athlete depends of the practiced physical activity. A classification of the sports activities can be carried out according to the risk of increased pressures on the pelvic floor: high-risk sports: trampoline (10.17), acrobatic gymnastics, aerobics, athletics (jumping hedges, heights, triple jump), horse riding, basketball, volleyball, handball, martial arts; moderate-risk sports: tennis, skiing ... low risk sports: walking, swimming, cycling, rollerblading, golf ... In sports, urinary incontinence also depends of the practiced movements (jumps, abdominal exercises ...), and the occurence of sports activity. This disorder has even become one of the concerns of federal sports authority (INSEP). However, there is no data regarding stress incontinence of sports teenagers found n the literature on

Use of Continence Care Protocol in UK Nursing Homes.
Urinary Incontinence Due to Cognitive ImpairmentUrinary IncontinenceThis is a retrospective cohort study. In the investigation the clinical use of the Skin and leakage protocol (SLEP) is to be investigated. The SLEP is a generic digital diary form filled out to give information about the current status of continence care among care home residents. The SLEP tracks the number of leakage occurrences and daily skin health over a period of time with the purpose of assisting care staff in making decisions regarding continence care. The SLEP has been introduced at several United kingdom National Health Service care homes and with this investigation the investigators want to retrospectively analyse the data to determine the clinical usefulness of the form. The primary objective of the study is to describe any changes in product leakage rate at the baseline and follow up time period.

Clinical Values of Voiding Diary for Diagnosis and Treatment for Monosymptomatic Enuresis in Children...
Nocturnal EnuresisNocturnal enuresis is common problem in children who are from 5 to 18 years old and do not spontaneously urinate at least 2 times a week for more than 3 months. It can lead to major distress for the children and their parents. The investigators hypothesize that the 3-day voiding diary as the same as the 7-day voiding diary could be a diagnostic tool to provide information on the diagnosis and classification of nocturnal enuresis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and sensitivity of 3-day versus 7-day voiding diary to diagnose nocturnal enuresis.
