Prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence for post‐stroke inpatients in Southern China
ConclusionsThe prevalence of UI among post‐stroke inpatients is high. Stroke inpatients looked after by health care assistant, hemorrhagic stroke, mixed stroke, parietal lobe lesion, chronic cough, aphasia, and post‐stroke depression were high‐risk groups for UI. These patients should be targeted when planning intervention programs. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Urinary incontinence after ischemic stroke: Clinical and urodynamic studies
ConclusionsIncontinent patients showed a worse functional outcome compared to continent patients. Post‐stroke incontinence may be associated with different urodynamic patterns, each of which may necessitate different treatment strategies. Urodynamic findings in patients with ischemic stroke vary depending upon timing of the study. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A review of post-stroke urinary incontinence.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a debilitating disease which causes urinary incontinence in many patients. As a result, patients have increased rates of hospitalization and disability compared to post-stroke patients without urinary incontinence. The history and physical exam are key in diagnosing the type of urinary incontinence with urodynamic studies being an adjunctive study. Non-pharmacologic treatment, such as behavioral therapy, and pharmacologic agents including antimuscarinics and beta adrenergic medications, are not well studied in the post-stroke patient. Urinary incontinence in stroke patients needs to be further studie...

Urological disturbance and its neuroanatomical correlate in patients with chronic brainstem stroke
ConclusionsThe present study identified a relationship between chronic pontine stroke and detrusor underactivity. Thus, detrusor underactivity might be associated with lesions localized to central portions of the bilateral pons. The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms was also revealed to be high among patients with chronic brainstem stroke. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A questionnaire survey to assess lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with chronic stroke
CONCLUSIONSStorage symptom is associated with not only neurological deficits but also sex and the presence of general diseases, whereas voiding symptom is influenced by physical activity in patients with chronic stroke. Therefore, lower urinary tract symptoms should be carefully monitored and physical rehabilitation should also be considered in patients with stroke.

Managing of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Following Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis comprehensive up-to-date review will synthesise relevant available literature on the topic of post-stroke lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). Topics include epidemiology of LUTD, LUTD as a prognostic indicator for stroke recovery, urinary incontinence and retention, correlations between brain lesion localisation and LUTD, causes of LUTD, medical complications due to LUTD, diagnostics and contemporary management of LUTD in stroke patients.Recent FindingsLUTD frequently occurs after a stroke and is associated with poor overall functional outcome, increased institutionalisation and mortality ...

Neuroanatomical correlates between stroke lesions and urinary disorders: A narrative review.
CONCLUSION: A few cerebral areas damaged by stroke seem to be linked to certain urinary troubles, but new studies with a higher methodological quality are required to confirm this result. PMID: 30527571 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Continence and Complication Rates of Artificial Urinary Sphincter Devices (AMS 800) for Parkinson and Stroke Patients with Incontinence after Prostate Surgery: Retrospective Analysis of a Prospective Database
Conclusion: AUS implantation shows significantly worse continence rates for neurological patients, despite the fact that all patients showed normal UD results and sufficient manual dexterity. Although neurological patients showed worse outcomes for continence, AUS implantation seems to be a safe and viable treatment for patients with a history of neurological disease.Urol Int

Contemporary Evaluation and Treatment of Poststroke Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction
Stroke is an extremely common clinical entity, and poststroke incontinence is a major cause of morbidity for stroke survivors. Although patients can experience a wide variety of lower urinary tract symptoms, detrusor overactivity is among the most common clinical findings following stroke. All forms of lower urinary tract symptoms can negatively impact physical and psychosocial function for affected patients and their caregivers and loved ones. Careful evaluation is critical for successful management. Treatment is tailored to the goals and needs of each individual patient. Improvements in continence status can help to enha...

Vascular risk factors for male and female urgency urinary incontinence at age 68 years from a British birth cohort study
ConclusionMultifactorial mechanisms lead to UUI and vascular risk factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of bladder overactivity in addition to higher BMI. Severe UUI appears to be a distinct presentation with more specific contributory mechanisms than milder UUI.

What characteristics predispose to continence in nursing home residents?: A population‐based cross‐sectional study
ConclusionsAbout 25% of NH residents were continent. Double incontinence and urinary incontinence only were prevalent conditions in NHs, while FI alone was rarer. With the exception of diarrhea as a cause of FI, it appears that FI alone, UI alone, and DI may have common causes and development. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prevalence of urinary incontinence and associated factors in nursing home residents
ConclusionsIt is concluded that UI is a health issue that affects more than half of the institutionalized elderly, and is associated with white race, physical inactivity, stroke, and other geriatric syndromes such as immobility and cognitive disability.

Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Urinary Incontinence in Home Hospice Patients
Publication date: Available online 25 October 2018Source: European UrologyAuthor(s): Bilal Chughtai, Dominique Thomas, David Russell, Kathryn Bowles, Holly PrigersonAbstractUrinary incontinence (UI) is a debilitating and embarrassing condition that is prevalent among aging males and females. Little is known about UI in the home hospice setting. We sought to determine UI prevalence and risk factors in a cohort of 15 432 home hospice patients over 4 yr. Most of the study patients were female (59%) and aged ≥75 yr. This was a retrospective observational study and no patients were excluded. The median length o...
