Assessment and Management of Urinary Incontinence in the Clinic Kathryn L. Burgio, PhD Associate Director for GRECC Research & Patricia S. Goode, MD Associate Director for GRECC Clinical Programs Birmingham/Atlanta Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center – July 27, 2006 Prevalence of Incontinence Prevalence (%) Severity 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Severe Moderate Slight Unknown 20- 25- 30- 35- 40- 45- 50- 55- 60- 65- 70- 75- 80- 85+ 24 29 34 39 44 49 54 59 64 69 74 79 84 Age Hannestad et al., 2000 UI - Treatment Seeking 1,104 Community Dwelling Older Adults with Urinary Incontinence on interview 38% 62% Reported to Provider Not Reported Burgio, et al: JAGS 42: 208, 1994 Reasons for Not Reporting Incontinence to Provider Not aware that can be treated Normal part of aging Personal problem (not medical) Embarrassed Fear of nursing home placement Afraid treatment requires surgery Include Incontinence in the Review of Systems for all geriatric patients. Patient Case 75 year old man Goes to the bathroom every 1-2 hours daytime and 3 times at night. About once a week, on the way to the bathroom, he can’t make it and wets his clothes. Evaluation? Diagnosis? Appropriate treatment? Types of Incontinence Urge Stress Functional Overflow Work-up of Incontinence History Physical Urinalysis Post-void Volume Residual Incontinence History Type Do you leak urine during physical activity such as coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercising? Do you get the urge to go and can’t make it without leaking? Onset Severity Frequency of leakage Need for absorbent products Incontinence History Lower urinary tract symptoms Urgency, frequency, nocturia, dysuria, weak stream, straining to void, etc. Fluid intake – volume and type Previous treatments and effects on incontinence Medical History Medical, neurological, history Surgical history Prostatectomy Review Habits medications including OTC (caffeine, tobacco, alcohol use) Physical Exam Brief Neurologic Exam Gait Lower extremity strength Cogwheel rigidity Sphincter tone and voluntary contraction Rectal (and Pelvic for women) Urinalysis Bacteriuria Pyuria Glycosuria Hematuria Post-Void Residual Volume Measure amount of urine left in bladder after voiding. Ultrasound or catheter Normal: < 50 ml Patient Case 75 year old man Frequent voiding and weekly urge incontinence Work up Hx: Diabetes for 10 years, tries to adhere to diet – drinks about 4-5 diet sodas/day. Insomnia – takes Tylenol PM. Constipation. Physical: hard stool in vault UA: 2+ glucose (and Hgb A1C = 9.8 one month ago) PVR: 200 mL Diagnosis? Treatment Options? Contributors to UI to Treat First Drugs and Diet Infection Atrophic Urethritis Psychological - Depression, Delirium Endocrine - Diabetes, Hypercalcemia Restricted Mobility Stool Impaction Contributors to UI to Treat First Drugs Sedatives including alcohol ACE inhibitors (cough) Antipsychotics (pseudoparkinsonism) Diuretics (bad timing) Alpha Blockers – worsen stress UI Anticholinergics – incomplete emptying Contributors to UI to Treat First Drugs and Diet – Caffeine & Fluids Infection Atrophic Urethritis Psychological - Depression, Delirium Endocrine - Diabetes, Hypercalcemia Restricted Mobility Stool Impaction Patient Case 75 year old man Frequent voiding and weekly urge incontinence Work up Hx: Diabetes for 10 years, tries to adhere to diet – drinks about 4-5 diet sodas/day.

Physical: hard stool in vault UA: 2+ glucose (and Hgb A1C = 9.8 one month ago) PVR: 200 mL Patient Case 75 year old man Frequent voiding and weekly urge incontinence Work up Hx: Otherwise negative Physical: unremarkable UA: normal PVR: 45 mL Diagnosis? Treatment options? First Line Treatments Medications Anticholinergics Oxybutynin – generic, Ditropan XL, Oxytrol patch Tolterodine - Detrol Solifenacin - VESIcare Trospium - Sanctura Darifenacin - Enablex Alpha blocker for BPH Other treatments Behavioral training – try BEFORE or with drug Least Invasive – Use First !! Diet & Fluid Management Behavioral Strategies PFM Training and Exercise Behavioral Approaches Bladder Training Biofeedback Weight Loss Bladder Diaries Behavioral Treatment: Multi-component Program Pelvic floor muscle training Home practice of exercises Increase duration of contraction/relaxation over time Bladder Control Techniques Self-Monitoring w/ bladder diaries When the Urge Strikes – Freeze and Squeeze Stop and stay still Squeeze Relax pelvic floor muscles rest of body Concentrate on suppressing urge Wait until the urge subsides Walk to bathroom at normal pace Burgio et al. Staying Dry: A Practical Guide to Bladder Control. 1989. When to Void Worst Time Best Time Worst Time Calm Period Burgio et al. Staying Dry: A Practical Guide to Bladder Control. 1989. Other Behavioral Strategies Stress Strategy Squeeze before you sneeze (or cough or lift) Post Void Dribbling Strategy Squeeze after voiding RCT Comparing Behavior and Drug Therapy 197 older women with urge incontinence Randomized to 8 weeks of: Behavioral training (biofeedback) Drug therapy (oxybutynin) Placebo control Burgio et al, JAMA, 1998 Reduction of Incontinence 100 % Reduction 80 81% 60 68% 40 39% 20 0 Behavioral Drug Control Patient Satisfaction with Treatment 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Behavior Drug Placebo 78% 49% 28% Completely satisfied Burgio et al. JAMA. 1998; 280:1995-2000 Patient Case 85 year old woman Frequently leaks on the way to the bathroom Work up Hx: Aricept for dementia Physical: Frail, walks slowly, uses a walker UA: normal PVR: 85 mL Diagnosis? Treatment Options? The Patient with Functional Limitations Avoid anticholinergic drugs in pts with dementia Facilitate functional status Mobility devices Physical therapy Bedside commode Urinal for men Prompted voiding – VERY effective Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence 65 yo had radical prostatectomy 1 year ago Leaks when he coughs, sneezes or lifts something heavy Wears a pad in the daytime, dry at night No problem making it to the bathroom Diagnosis? Treatment Options? Behavioral Treatment of PostProstatectomy Incontinence 20 men; 55-87 years old Average 2 ½ years since surgery 8 weeks of biofeedback-assisted behavioral training 78.3% decrease in accidents (range of -12 – 100%) Burgio, et.al., J Urology, 1989 Behavioral Training for PostProstatectomy Incontinence Case Series of 27 men with persistent post-prostatectomy UI Taught pelvic floor muscle exercises without using biofeedback 56.6% reduction in leakage Meaglia et al. J Urol. 1990;144:674 Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence 65 yo considering radical prostatectomy Continent Read that 72% of patients reported incontinence persisting 1 year after surgery and 40% wearing pads What can he do to help prevent incontinence?
