          Abstract

          Introducción: El síndrome de Vejiga Hiperactiva (VH) y la Incontinencia Urinaria (IU) tienen un elevado impacto tanto personal como económico. Este trabajo se centra en el análisis detallado de la VH y la IU (sintomatología derivada y tendencias en consulta y consumo de recursos) en una muestra de varones laboralmente activos de entre 50 y 65 años. Material y métodos: El presente trabajo se enmarca en Estudio EPICC de la Asociación Española de Urología (estudio epidemiológico, observacional, multicéntrico y de ámbito nacional) y se centra en el análisis detallado de las características de la muestra de varones laboralmente activos, con edades comprendidas entre los 50-65 años (N=1071) y del subgrupo de sujetos con VH y/o IU (N=55). Resultados: El 0,56% de la muestra presentó IU, el 3,55% VH y el 1,03% ambas patologías. En la muestra de sujetos con IU y/o VH el 45,45% tiene problemas para retener orina y el 16,36% tiene pérdidas a diario; el 45,45% sufre deseos incontrolables de orinar diariamente; el 23,64% no ha consultado al médico, el 65,45% ha consultado al urólogo, el 14,55% desea consultar al especialista en incontinencia; el 40% ha recibido tratamiento, de ellos el 81,82% recibió tratamiento farmacológico. Conclusión: Se presentan datos específicos sobre presencia de VH y IU en la muestra especificada y sobre la magnitud de las afecciones y uso de recursos sanitarios en sujetos con IU y/o VH, con el fin de contribuir a un mejor diagnóstico de estos trastornos y manejo de pacientes y recursos.

          Introduction: The Overactive Bladder syndrome (OAB) and Urinary Incontinence (UI) result in an important personal and economic impact. This work concentrates on the detailed analysis of OAB and UI (derived symptoms and tendencies in medical consultation and resource consumption), in a sample of working men aged 50-65. Material and methods: This study is within the framework of the EPICC study of the Spanish Association of Urology (epidemiologic, observational, multicentric, national study) and concentrates on the detailed analysis of the characteristics of the sample of working men aged 50-65 (N=1071) and of the subgroup of individuals with VH and/or IU (N=55). Results: 0.56% of the subjects presented UI, 3.55% OAB, 1.03% presented both pathologies. Taking into account those individuals with UI and/or OAB, 45.45% had problems to retain urine, and 16.36% suffered leakage daily; 45.45% suffered uncontrollable urge to urinate daily; 23.64% had never sought medical advice, 65.45% had visited an urologist, 14.55% would like to visit an specialist in incontinence; 40% had received treatment, from which 81.82 had received pharmacologic treatment. Conclusion: In this study, specific data about VH and IU in the reported sample are presented, including those referring to the magnitude of these conditions and use of sanitary resources in subjects with UI and/or OAB, aiming at contributing to a better diagnose and handling of patients and resources.

          Risk factors and comorbid conditions associated with lower urinary tract symptoms: EpiLUTS.

          To explore the risk factors and comorbid conditions associated with subgroups of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men and women aged > or =40 years in three countries, using data from the EpiLUTS study, as LUTS are common amongst men and women and increase in prevalence with age. This cross-sectional, population-representative survey was conducted via the Internet in the USA, the UK and Sweden. Participants were asked to rate how often they experienced individual LUTS during the past 4 weeks on a 5-point Likert scale. Eight LUTS subgroups were created. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions within each LUTS subgroup were used to assess the data. The survey response rate was 59%. The final sample was 30,000 (men and women). The voiding + storage + postmicturition (VSPM) group reported the highest rates of comorbid conditions for both men and women, and the fewest were reported in the no/minimal LUTS and the postmicturition-only groups. Increasing age was associated with increasing LUTS in men, but not in women. Comorbid conditions significantly associated with the VSPM group were arthritis, asthma, chronic anxiety, depression, diabetes (men only), heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, neurological conditions, recurrent urinary tract infection, and sleep disorders. Risk factors, such as body mass index, exercise level and smoking, played less of a role, except for childhood nocturnal enuresis, which was significantly associated with most LUTS subgroups. In this large population study, many comorbid conditions and risk factors were significantly associated with LUTS among both men and women. Further longitudinal investigations of the associations noted here would help physicians to understand the pathophysiology of LUTS and comorbid conditions, and provide clinical guidelines for patient management of comorbid conditions sharing common pathophysiological pathways.

            The overlap of storage, voiding and postmicturition symptoms and implications for treatment seeking in the USA, UK and Sweden: EpiLUTS.

            To assess the (i) the overlap between voiding, storage, and postmicturition symptoms; and (ii) the relative effect of bother and implications for treatment seeking within these symptom groups, using data from the EpiLUTS study. This cross-sectional population-representative survey was conducted via the Internet in the USA, the UK and Sweden. Participants were asked to rate the frequency and symptom-specific bother of individual LUTS. Descriptive statistics were used to examine differences in International Continence Society LUTS subgroups. Logistc regressions were used with treatment seeking as the dependent variable and the bother of individual symptoms as predictors. The survey response rate was 59%. The sample included 30,000 participants (14,139 men and 15,861 women); 71% of men and 75% of women reported at least one LUTS, and about half reported LUTS from more than one symptom group. Rates of bother were greatest for those who reported multiple storage, voiding and postmicturition LUTS (men 83%, women 89%). Less than a third of participants with LUTS from all three groups reported seeking treatment. Consistent correlates of treatment seeking across genders included bother due to weak stream, incomplete emptying, perceived daytime frequency, nocturia and urgency. There were also significant associations for several types of incontinence, most commonly stress incontinence in women and leaking during sexual activity in men. Despite high rates of symptom overlap and symptom-specific bother, few participants sought treatment for LUTS. Common conditions such as BPH and OAB are treatable, and clinicians should proactively ask patients about urinary symptoms. Given the many types of LUTS that patients experience, it is imperative that clinicians assess all LUTS to ensure that appropriate treatments are prescribed.

              Prevalence of and risk factors for urine leakage in a racially and ethnically diverse population of adults: the Boston Area Community Health (BACH) Survey.

              Most epidemiologic studies of urine leakage in the United States report on women and White populations. In this study, the authors determined the prevalence of urine leakage across genders and racial/ethnic groups in a population-based sample of 5,506 adults aged 30-79 years and identified factors related to leakage within genders and racial/ethnic groups. The prevalence of weekly urine leakage was 8% overall, 10.4% in women, and 5.3% in men. White women (11.7%) were more likely than Black (9.4%) and Hispanic (7.3%) women to report weekly leakage and to report stress-type (35.4% vs. 9.4% and 14.5%, respectively) and urge-type (13.4% vs. 3.3% and 10.8%, respectively) leakage. Rates and leakage types for men did not vary by race/ethnicity. For women, central obesity, asthma, and arthritis increased the odds of weekly leakage. For men, the odds of leakage increased for Blacks and Whites at ages 50 and 60 years, respectively, and for Hispanics of higher social class. For both genders, various comorbid conditions, including heart disease, asthma, and depression, increased the odds of leakage in varying racial/ethnic groups. The authors conclude that types of and risk factors for urine leakage vary by gender and racial/ethnic group.
