“…If there is variation in the true prevalence rates between countries, it is obscured by cultural differences in the perception of UI and willingness to report UI, as well as, methodological differences, 29 including in the wording of questionnaire items, in the method of administration of questionnaires, and perhaps most importantly, with differences in case definitions employed. 30,31 Some studies have reported an approximate frequency to this study result as seen in a study conducted in Brazil by Borges et al 32 They have shown that UI prevalence was 43% amongst institutionalised elderly.

Objectives Urinary incontinence (UI), involuntary loss of urine, is a common disorder affecting the elderly population worldwide. UI can be associated with poor quality of life (QOL) in this vulnerable population, as it limits both physical and social activities of daily living (ADLs). Additionally, it has a psychological and economic burden on individuals, healthcare services and society. This study was conducted to measure the frequency of UI amongst the elderly and determine its impact on the overall QOL, physical performance, and ADLs. Participants and methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted in four primary healthcare centres in El‐Obour City. Data collection was performed weekly on randomly chosen days. All elderly individuals aged 60 or above, who attended the centres on those days, were included. Results The overall frequency of UI was 38% amongst the population under study. UI ranged from mild (12.3%) to moderate (57.9%) to severe (29.8%). Amongst incontinent participants, the frequency of UI was 47.4% in men and 52.6% in women. The frequency of stress, urge, mixed and other types of UI were 7%, 33.3%, 40.4% and 19.3%, respectively. Incontinent elderly had significantly lower QOL regarding mental and physical indices than their continental counterparts. UI severity was inversely related to physical performance. Conclusion UI has a high prevalence rate amongst elderly individuals and significantly affects all aspects of QOL, especially physical performance.

“…Care provided for individuals with LUTSn was significantly associated with UI, limited mobility in the bed and requirement for assistance to ambulate but not with patient age [13]. Containment product use at night was common, with one study reporting a 6.7 times risk of UI when wearing such garments [6,14]. Care at night was noted to be affected by both quantity and quality of human resources, deficient bathroom ergonomics and indiscriminate use of geriatric diapers [15][16].…”

Aim: Holistic care of geriatric inpatients involves bladder management at night. The aim of this study was to identify variables that should be included in a concept pool describing the attributable costs of nocturnal bladder dysfunction in the geriatric rehabilitation setting.Design: A scoping review to map the key contributors to cost of care in older people with nocturnal bladder symptoms during hospitalization was conducted using machine learning.Method: Individual and institution attributable cost factors implicated in the care for urinary tract symptoms at night during hospitalization, were identified and charted. A concept pool was developed and inter-relationships explored. Results:The two major health service consequences observed were incontinence-associated dermatitis and falls incidents. From an individual perspective, four health consequences emerged: stress, a fear of falling during the night, interrupted sleep and reduced quality of life. Limited mobility appeared as a contributor to nocturnal Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTSn), incontinence-associated dermatitis and falls. Conclusion:A conceptual framework of characteristics of affected individuals, alongside resource use and healthcare costs associated with bladder dysfunction at night, has been developed. This will provide a structure to evaluate the cost benefit of implementing improved care for older in-patients with LUTSn.

“…It is often overlooked and misdiagnosed, resulting in delayed and costly treatment, while causing significant patient discomfort. In various studies, the prevalence of IAD in hospital patients has been reported to range from 1.44% to 21.3%, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] but is known to be under-reported largely due to misdiagnosis and variation in IAD data collection methods. 11 IAD causes physical, social and emotional impact on patients.…”

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of an intervention on the prevalence and severity of incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD) in six hospitals in one state in Australia. This quasi‐experimental pre‐and post‐study, conducted in 18 wards, was part of a larger implementation science study on incontinence‐associated dermatitis. Skin and incontinence assessments were conducted on patients during February and March 2020 (pre‐intervention) and July and August 2021 (post‐intervention). The intervention comprised continence assessment and management, an education brochure for patients, family and caregivers on IAD, the Ghent Global IAD Categorisation Tool (GLOBIAD) and a skin care regime with patient skin protection measures (three‐in‐one barrier cream cloths, minimisation of bed protection layers, use of appropriate continence aid). A total of 1897 patients were assessed (pre‐intervention = 964, post‐intervention = 933). A total of 343 (35.6%) pre‐intervention patients and 351 (37.6%) post‐intervention patients had incontinence. The prevalence of hospital‐acquired IAD was 6.71% in the pre‐intervention group and 4.27% in the post‐intervention group; a reduction of 36.3% (p = 0.159) despite higher patient acuity, prevalence of double incontinence and the COVID‐19 pandemic in the post‐intervention group compared with the pre‐intervention group. Our multisite best practice IAD prevention and treatment intervention was able to reduce the prevalence and severity of hospital‐acquired IAD, suggesting enduring effectiveness of the intervention.
