title: [Urinary incontinence in the elderly: clinical and urodynamic review of 195 cases].
abstract: One hundred ninety-five male and female patients over 65 years old presenting with urinary incontinence were evaluated by clinical and urodynamics. Urinary incontinence was in the form of urgency-incontinence in 68% of the cases, incontinence at cough in 26%, and urinary incontinence which the patient referred to no specific situation in 6%. Among the different urodynamics data, bladder instability was the most common (73%). Urinary stress incontinence was observed in 35% of the cases. Bladder instability was demonstrated in 77% of the cases with urgency-incontinence and in 69% of the cases with incontinence not referred to a specific situation. All the male patients with lower urinary tract obstruction had urgency-incontinence. Stress incontinence was demonstrated in 60% of the cases with incontinence at cough. Stress incontinence was not observed in male patients without associated diseases. The associated neurological disorder was accompanied by bladder hyperreflexia in 90% of the cases. A prior adenomectomy or hysterectomy was associated with a greater number of cases with stress urinary incontinence, accounting for 62% in both males and females.
