简要总结
Urinary incontinence is an increasing medical and socio-economical problem. 44% of the elderly (>65 years) women and 28% of the elderly men suffer from unwilling urine loss. Moreover, this percentages increase with age. Incontinence is a problem with multiple physical, psychological, and financial effects. In addition incontinence has a important impact on the family and healthcare professionals surrounding the elderly.
The problem of urinary incontinence is complex and multifactorial. Moreover, diagnostic guidelines are inconsistent leading to a high amount of technical interventions to diagnose and to specify the type of incontinence.
Aim of this study is to create a short form of necessary technical investigations to diagnose and evaluate urinary incontinence.

结局指标
主要结局
Decreasing the amount of necessary technical investigations to diagnose incontinence
时间窗: 1 month
Based on international guidelines different technical investigations are used and approved to observe the type of urinary incontinence individually. Nevertheless, based on expert opinion all technical investigations schould be done together. However this combination of different technical investigations (urodynamics, questionaires, voiding dairy and clinical examination) is not evidence based and time consuming. We want to develop a statistical model to decrease the need of technical investigations to obtain a correct diagnose of stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence or mixed incontinence.
