Management of Urinary Incontinence in the Elderly
Abstract
URINARY incontinence in the elderly is prevalent, morbid, costly, and neglected. It affects 5 to 15 per cent of elderly people living in the community,1 and its prevalence increases to approximately 40 per cent in hospitalized patients2 , 3 and to over 50 per cent in institutionalized populations.4 , 5 Neurologic impairment, immobility, and female sex are independent risk factors for incontinence, but neither advanced age nor chronic bacteriuria seem to be.6 , 7 The costs of incontinence are medical (cystitis, urosepsis, pressure sores, perineal rashes, and falls), psychosocial (embarrassment, isolation, depression, and predisposition to institutionalization), and economic. Over $8 billion per year8 is devoted to . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
