Flaws Related to the Article Entitled “Frailty Predicts Incident Urinary Incontinence Among Hospitalized Older Adults”

We have read the article by Edward Chong et  al1 with great interest. In their article, the authors have studied to determine the utility of identifying frailty status in predicting incident urinary incontinence (UI) and to establish whether UI is an independent predictor of mortality within 12 months of an acute hospital admission among ol der adults. They report that underlying UI, irrespective of frailty status, independently increased the risk of mortality, even up to 12 months following hospitalization.
