The costs of stress urinary incontinence.
SUI affects individuals' quality of life. It also has resource implications for individuals, health services and society in general. Quantification of these costs can aid decision making by illustrating the size of the problem and identifying conditions and groups for whom large costs are incurred. However, comparatively little is known about these costs as few costing studies have been carried out in the UK and no studies have identified costs by types of urinary incontinence.
