Factors associated with booster seat use among Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Objective: Booster seat use among the general population remains relatively low, despite their effectiveness in preventing injury among children when involved in motor vehicle collisions. Given the prevention of injuries that booster seats provide, understanding the factors that hinder or facilitate the use of these seats is critical, particularly in communities that are often overlooked when conducting general population studies. To date, no studies have examined the prevalence and predictors of booster seat use among Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Antecedent history as a predictor of surgical cure of urgency symptoms in mixed incontinence.

Objective: To determine the cure rate of urge incontinence after Burch colposuspension in patients with mixed incontinence diagnosed urodynamically, to determine if cure rates were different when the onset of urge symptoms antedated or postdated the symptoms of stress incontinence, and to propose appropriate preoperative counseling of patients based on this information.

Methods: Forty-six women with urodynamically diagnosed genuine stress incontinence and detrusor instability underwent Burch colposuspension. History of chronologic onset of stress incontinence or urge incontinence was recorded.
