title: [Relationship between urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Urinary incontinence affects up to 70% of women and pelvic organ prolapse has a prevalence of 41% in postmenopausal women over 60 years, but most are not clinically affected.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Sought to assess the relationship of pelvic organ prolapse in patients with urinary incontinence diagnosed by urodynamic and which of the sub-types is related to a greater extent.
  
  
  METHODS
  We performed an observational, retrospective, descriptive, in which we reviewed records of patients with symptoms of urinary incontinence undergoing urodynamic study, evaluating a total of 85 patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Prolapse was noted in mixed incontinence by 80%, compared to 46.9% with urge incontinence or stress incontinence 34.9%, p 0.034. 89.5% of women with prolapse had some form of incontinence, associated with an OR = 2.38 (CI 1844-3078, p = 0.023).
