Urinary incontinence among Jordanian women: Prevalence, types, and associated factors.

Objective: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent condition with a negative impact on women's quality of life. Data about UI among Jordanian women are lacking; therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence, types, and associated factors.

Methods: A cross sectional nationwide survey was conducted between 1 March 2020 and 15 April 2020.

Protocol for a Series of Systematic Reviews and Network Meta-analyses of Randomized Controlled Trials of Medications for Patients with Overactive Bladder Symptoms.

Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have examined first-line pharmacological agents such as anticholinergics and β3 agonists for the management of overactive bladder symptoms (OAB). Although earlier systematic reviews and (network) meta-analyses aimed to summarize the evidence, a substantial number of trials were not included, so a comprehensive and methodologically rigorous evaluation of the comparative effectiveness of all first-line pharmacological treatments is lacking. We aim to conduct a series of systematic reviews and network meta-analyses (NMAs) for a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness and safety of first-line pharmacological treatments for OAB.

Which patients are at risk of developing symptom diagnoses that persist for more than a year in primary care? Development and external validation of a prediction model.

Objectives: To train, test and externally validate a prediction model that supports General Practitioners (GPs) in early identification of patients at risk of developing symptom diagnoses that persist for more than a year.

Methods: We retrospectively collected and selected all patients having episodes of symptom diagnoses during the period 2008 and 2021 from the Family Medicine Network (FaMe-Net) database. From this group, we identified symptom diagnoses that last for less than a year and symptom diagnoses that persist for more than a year.

Trends in C reactive protein testing: a retrospective cohort study in paediatric ambulatory care settings.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate C reactive protein (CRP) testing practices in paediatric ambulatory care across British primary care and accident and emergency (A&E) departments.

Design, Setting, Participants: This retrospective cohort study included children <18 years old having ≥1 CRP test at primary care or A&E departments in Oxfordshire between 2007 and 2021.

Outcomes: We estimated the frequency and annual changes in CRP testing in both settings and evaluated referral and admission patterns based on CRP levels: low (<20 mg/L), intermediate or high (≥80 mg/L).

The association of fecal incontinence, constipation, and pelvic pain with the course of lower urinary tract symptoms in community-dwelling men and women.

Background: Fecal incontinence, constipation, and pelvic pain are common pelvic floor symptoms (PFS), and frequently coexist with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). However, their association with the longitudinal trajectory of LUTS have not been well described. Our objective was to investigate the association between PFS and the course of LUTS in community-dwelling men and women.
