The Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence and Use of Incontinence Aids in 85-year-old Men and Women
2016Co-Authors: Lisbeth Hellstrom, Peter Ekelund, Ian Milsom, Dan MellstromAbstract:The prevalence of urinary Incontinence and the use of Incontinence Aids was investigated in 85-year-old men and women resident in the city of Goteborg. The overall prevalence of urinary Incontinence was 37.2%. Urinary Incontinence was more prevalent (p < 0.001) in women (43.2%) than men (24.0%), and in residents of a nursing home or hospital (83.9%) than in men and women living at home (29.4%). Urinary Incontinence was more commonly encountered in men with neurological (p < 0.001) and respiratory (p < 0.05) illnesses, and in women suffering from cardiovascular (p < 0.05), neurological (p < 0.001) and urogenital (p<0.01) illnesses. Incontinence Aids were used more often (p < 0.001) by incontinent women (67.9%) than men (42.9%) living in the community, and were used by 86.4 % of the incontinent men and 91.5 % of the incontinent women living in an institution. Pads were the commonest form of Incontinence Aid used, irrespective of whether the men and women lived in the community or in an institution. Indwelling urinary catheters were used by only 2 % of the 85-year-old men and women

Quality of Life and Functional Outcomes in High- vs. Low/Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer after Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy - Longitudinal Analysis in a Large, Multicentre, Prospective Database
2024Co-Authors: Devlies WoutAbstract:Background: There is insufficient knowledge about the quality of life and functional outcomes after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in high-risk prostate cancer. Insights on the effect of the cancer risk group (high vs. low/intermediate) on quality of life and functional outcomes are crucial for the pre-and post-operative counselling of patients treated with RALP. Objective: To determine whether prostate cancer risk group is predictive of worse functional outcomes and quality of life after RALP. Design, Setting and Participants: The Be-RALP database is a prospective multicentre database that covers 9235 RALP-cases from 2009 until 2016. Of these 9235 patients, 2071 high-risk prostate cancer patients were matched with low/intermediate risk prostate cancer patients using coarsened exact-matching. These pairs were analysed at 1, 3, 12 and 24 month(s) after RALP, using longitudinal modelling to assess the post-operative functional outcomes and quality of life. Intervention(s): Patients were treated with RALP. In a subgroup of patients, post-operative radiotherapy and/or hormonal treatment (20%) was administered. Outcome Measurements and Statistical Analysis: In this study, quality of life (i.e. global, physical, emotional and cognitive), urinary function (i.e. urinary symptoms, Incontinence Aid and Incontinence Modular Questionnaire–Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ)) and erectile function (sexual activity, sexual functioning and IIEF-5) were compared between the two study groups. Longitudinal analysis quantified the effect of prostate cancer risk group on functional outcomes and quality of life. The effect of the duration of follow-up and post-operative treatment was also assessed. Results and Limitations: Risk group was not significant in predicting quality of life (all p>0.47), erectile function (all p>0.52) or urinary function (all p>0.08) after RALP. Post-operative treatment (hormonal- and/or radiotherapeutic treatment) was significant in predicting Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and sexual activity (all p0.05) in an interaction term with time. Conclusions: Risk group is not linked with functional outcomes and quality of life after RALP. The observed functional outcomes and quality of life are in favour of considering RALP for high-risk prostate cancer. Post-operative treatment was the main predictor of functional outcomes (lower sexual activity, lower functioning and worse IIEF-5, increased ICIQ-score and increased urinary symptoms), but not of the quality of life. Patient summary: This study compares the quality of life, urinary- and erectile function in high-risk vs. low/intermediate risk prostate cancer. The observed functional differences are not related to risk group, but instead to duration of follow-up and post-operative treatment received. This study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov, ref. NCT03790995status: Unpublishe
