“…Even though UI prevalence rates vary according to the definition and characteristics of the studies and target populations 15 , it is estimated that 8 to 58% of adult women 1 have symptoms of incontinence 16,17 . Estimates show that OB affects approximately 40% of the women who seek medical treatment for UI 18 . In Brazil, almost 10% of women who visit the gynecologist have urine loss as the main complaint 15 .…”

Objectives: To compare the impact of the type of urinary incontinence on women's quality of life. Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on the medical records of 77 incontinent women who underwent physical therapy treatment between February 2005 and October 2006. Based on the urodynamic test data, the women were classified into three groups: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), overactive bladder (OB) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). The subjects' history was taken, the women provided demographic data and they answered the King's Health Questionnaire, which is a specific questionnaire for assessing the quality of life among individuals with urinary incontinence. Results: Most of the patients (44%) had MUI. The patients affected by OB were significantly older than the patients in the other groups. The negative impact of incontinence on quality of life (General Health Perception domain) and lifestyle was significantly greater among the women affected by MUI than among the patients in the other groups. Conclusion: This study indicated that the negative impact of incontinence on quality of life was greater among patients with MUI.Key words: urinary incontinence; quality of life; women's health.

“…Some measures are genderand condition-speci¢c, such as the prostate-speci¢c module of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 core questionnaire [Joly et al, 1998], the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), a 7-item self-reporting instrument designed to assess the impact of urinary incontinence (UI) in males [Moore and Jensen, 2000], and the Urge-Incontinence Impact Questionnaire [Brown et al, 1999], Urge Impact Scale (URIS) [DuBeau et al, 1999], and Urogenital Distress Inventory [Shumaker et al, 1994], which are speci¢c to females and condition. Still others measure speci¢c areas of impact: the Dowell-Bryant Wilcoxon signed ranks, P ¼ 0.00.…”

“…Regardless of its cause, incontinence usually has a signi¢cant adverse e¡ect on health-related quality of life. Because a primary goal of treating urinary incontinence is to improve quality of life, there are a number of condition-, gender-, and age-speci¢c clinical outcome measures in the literature [Lee et al, 1995;Joly et al, 1998;Brown et al, 1999;Dowell et al, 1999;DuBeau et al, 1999;Moore and Jensen, 2000]. However, there is a need for a broad, uniform quality of life score validated across a diverse patient population, including both genders, all age ranges, and those treated either medically or surgically.…”

“…Although it is defined as DO in the absence of a definite cause, some authors have reported on the presence of neurological signs (7). Despite the fact that not all individuals with idiopathic overactive bladder require treatment, the condition has been shown to significantly impact on patient quality of life; often leading to isolation and depression (8,9).…”

Detrusor overactivity in diabetic and non-diabetic patients: is there a difference?

ARTICLE INFO _________________________________________________________ ___________________Purpose: To compare urodynamic characteristics in patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO) with those of an age matched cohort with diabetes mellitus (DM) and detrusor overactivity (DO). Secondly, to determine whether urodynamic features could help distinguish these two groups of patients. Materials and Methods: Urodynamic data was collected on 58 female patients; 29 with IDO and 29 with DM and detrusor overactivity. Eight urodynamic parameters were selected for analysis: amplitude of the first overactive contraction (AOFC), the volume at the first contraction, cystometric capacity, maximal detrusor pressure, maximal flow rate, voiding pressure at maximal flow, voided volume and postvoid residual (PVR) urine volume. Finally, sensitivity analysis for distinguishing urodynamic parameters between studied groups was performed. Results: AOFC, volume at AOFC and maximal detrusor pressure were statistically greater in diabetic patients, compared with the non-diabetic group of women (16.00 cm H 2 O versus 9.00 cm H 2 O, 309.00 mL versus 167.00 mL and 76.48 cm H 2 O versus 55.41 cm H 2 O respectively). A specificity of 72.41% and positive predictive value of 71.43% were achieved for AOFC with cutoff value of 12 cm H 2 O. These parameters were further improved with cutoff value of 258 mL for volume at AOFC and were 75.86% and 73.08% respectively. Conclusions: Certain urodynamic parameters in diabetic female patients with DO are shown to be significantly different than those in women with IDO. Further prospective study should provide additional information about the pathogenesis and progression of DO in diabetic patients as well as the validity of diabetic screening in patients with IDO.

Urge Incontinence: New Health‐Related Quality of Life Measures

Abstract: The newly developed Urge-Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and Urge-Urinary Distress Inventory are reliable, and evidence of validity was found in a diverse population. These instruments are available for use in trials of new therapeutic interventions for urge incontinence.
