Objective: To determine the effects of prompted voiding on fecal continence in nursing home residents.
Design: Prospective, uncontrolled trial of prompted voiding for urinary incontinence.
Participants: One hundred sixty-five nursing home residents who completed a 9 to 10-week trial.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of pyuria and its relationship to bacteriuria in a representative sample of chronically incontinent nursing home residents.
Design: Prospective, descriptive case series.
Setting: Six nursing homes.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of rapid urine screening tests in detecting bacteriuria among incontinent nursing home residents.
Setting: Six nursing homes.
Participants: 214 chronically incontinent, but otherwise asymptomatic, nursing home residents who were enrolled in a clinical intervention trial for urinary incontinence.
Objective: To determine if oxybutynin, a bladder relaxant medication, adds to the effectiveness of prompted voiding (PV) in the management of urinary incontinence among nursing home residents.
Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, dose-adjusted, crossover trial of oxybutynin added along with PV.
Setting: Seven nursing homes in Los Angeles County, California.
Objective: To determine the effects of eradicating otherwise asymptomatic bacteriuria on the severity of chronic urinary incontinence among nursing home residents.
Design: Residents were categorized as nonbacteriuric or bacteriuric on the basis of urine cultures. Bacteriuric residents were then randomly assigned to immediate and delayed treatment groups.
