American Journal of Medicine, 10/27/09
Wallner LP et al. – The prevalence of undiagnosed urinary incontinence was 53% in the preceding year, and 39% in the preceding week. The prevalence of undiagnosed stress, mixed, and urge incontinence was found to be 18.7%, 12.0%, and 6.8%, respectively. Quality of life was found to significantly decrease with increasing urinary incontinence severity. Of the 234 chart–reviewed women, 5% were found to have physician–documented urinary incontinence. These results suggest that a significant proportion of women in this managed care population are suffering from urinary incontinence that remains undiagnosed. Efforts should be made to encourage women and physicians to initiate conversations about urinary incontinence symptoms in order to decrease the unnecessary burden of this disease.
