Background/aim: Numerous risk factors have been reported to influence the development of urinary incontinence (UI). In this study, we took a closer look on the different forms of UI and tried to identify differences in regard to potential risk factors. Of special interest was the onset of UI symptoms and its relation to menopausal status.
Patients And Methods: This was a hospital-based analysis of patients who presented with urinary incontinence in the outpatient ward of a tertiary hospital. The diagnosis of urinary incontinence was based on the subjective complaints of patients. Data concerning menopausal status, hormone replacement therapy, prior hysterectomy were assessed.
Results: The mean age was 53.8 years in the SUI group, 62.7 years in the MUI group and 66.1 years in the UUI group, respectively (p<0.001). The proportion of patients with UUI was higher in the postmenopausal group, whereas the proportion of SUI was higher in the premenopausal group (p<0.001). The mean age in which complaints occurred was significantly lower in the SUI group (45.4 years) compared to the MUI (51.0 years) and UUI groups (54.7 years) (p<0.001). There was no correlation between menopausal status and onset of urinary incontinence (p=0.143).
Conclusion: Additional anamnestic information help further characterize the different types of urinary incontinence that can lead to an optimization of treatment options. Younger age and premenopausal status were accompanied by milder forms of UI while menopausal status itself had no influence on the onset of UI symptoms indicating that age-related changes may lead to different types of incontinence.

Restoration of postoperative urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is affected by diverse factors. We compared the pad-free and positive margin rates of patients who underwent RARP with or without bladder neck sparing (BNS) for prostate cancer. During this systematic review and metaanalysis, we performed an electronic search of the Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed to find original articles comparing RARP with and without BNS for prostate cancer.

Introduction: Overactive bladder is a major public health concern that negatively impacts a patient's quality of life, and it is highly prevalent in menopausal women. Acupuncture has been suggested as a viable therapeutic approach. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of thread-embedding acupuncture in postmenopausal women with overactive bladder.

Purpose: To evaluate two primary outcomes in elite female athletes (EFAs) with severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) 24 months post-intervention: return to elite-level competition and improvement in SUI symptoms. Clustering analysis was conducted to identify subgroups within the patient population and explore treatment efficacy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 183 EFAs with severe SUI who underwent treatments including pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), vaginal and urethral erbium laser (Fotona Laser), and mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent among women, often occurring alongside anterior vaginal wall prolapse. This study compares the efficacy and safety of an improved vaginal wall repair technique with pubocervical fascia fixation versus standard anterior colporrhaphy for treating SUI in women with anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
Methods: A single-centre, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial was conducted between September 2021 and June 2024.

Division of Epidemiology, Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics, Perelman School of Medicine.
Importance: There is limited understanding of the relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and types of overactive bladder/urgency urinary incontinence (OAB/UUI) treatments.
Objectives: Our objective was to determine if OAB/UUI treatment type differs by SDOH, including insurance and estimated median household income (EMHI).
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study of adult patients assigned female at birth with OAB/UUI, identified from 2017 to 2022 within a tertiary academic health system.
