Abstract

Urinary incontinence is one of the most common, disruptive and often disabling conditions affecting frail older people living in community.

The prevalence of incontinent patients with bladder catheter was 38.1%. Incontinent patients with indwelling bladder catheter did not show significant difference for age and comorbidity while they showed a significant higher level of physical and functional impairment, as expressed by higher score in activities of daily living (ADL) scale (6.5 +/- 1.3 vs. 5.5 +/- 2.2, P < 0.001) and higher prevalence of ...Continue Reading
