Behavioural treatment of urinary incontinence in geriatric patients

S K Sogbein et al. Can Med Assoc J. .

Abstract

Urinary incontinence and a program to treat it were studied in a geriatric hospital. Of 161 men, 58 (36%) were incontinent. The most common probable causes were cerebrovascular accident and organic brain syndrome. Evaluation by cystometry (after treatment of infections) in 30 patients showed 24 (80%) to have detrusor hyperreflexia. Twenty patients with hyperreflexia completed a timed-voiding routine, which benefited 17 of them (85%).
