`Report No.1 96-0682
`
`Despite the prevalence of urinary incontinence (U1), the condition is widely underdiagnosccl and underreported. Many
`
`health care providers remain uneducated about this condition, and individuals are often ashamed or embarrassed to
`
`seek professional help. Furthermore, Ul diagnostic and treatment practices as well as associated medical costs vary
`
`widely. These factors prompted the selection of Ul in adults as a topic for guideline development. A panel of experts
`
`used an extensive review of scientific literature as well as expert judgment and group consensus to develop this
`
`guideline. Findings and recommendations are presented for (1) prevention, identification, and evaluation of U1; (2) use
`
`of behavioral. pharmacologic, and surgical treatment as well as supportive devices; (3) long—term management of
`
`chronic intractable UI; and (4) education of health professionals and the public. The panel found evidence in the
`
`literature that the treatment of U I can improve or "cure" most patients. They concluded that all patients with U] should
`
`have a basic diagnostic evaluation and that behavioral and pharmacologic therapies are usually reasonable lirst steps in
`management. in addition, vigorous efforts should be made to educate the professional and lay public.

`
`Guideline Development and Use
`
`Guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health
`care for specific clinical conditions. This guideline update was developed by a private-sector panel convened by the
`
`Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (Al-ICPR). The panel employed an explicit. ‘science-based methodology
`and expert clinical judgment to develop specific statements on patient assessment and management for the clinical
`condition selected.
`
`lixtcnsivc literature searches were conducted and critical reviews and syntheses were used to evaluate empirical
`
`evidence and significant outcomes. Peer review and field review were undertaken to evaluate the validity, reliability,
`
`and utility ofthe guideline in clinical practice. The panel's recommendations are primarily based on the published
`
`scientilic literature. When the scientific literature was incomplete or inconsistent in a particular area, the
`
`recommendations reflect the prolbssional judgment of panel members and consultants.
`
`Guidclinc updates are a result ofperiodic review of the state of scientific information and technology. Updates reflect
`new research findings, experience, or technologies and provide specific recommendations in the field.
`
`"We believe that the Al-ICPR-assisted clinical practice guidelines will make positive contributions to the quality of care
`
`in the United States. We encourage practitioners and patients to use the information provided in this Climb-of i’raclic-c
`tiuideline Update. The recommendations may not be appropriate for use in all circumstances. Decisions to adopt any
`
`particular rccornmendation must be made by the practitioner in light ofavailable resources and circumstances
`
`presented by individual patients.

`
`Foreword
`
`Urinary incontinence (Ul) affects approximately 13 million Americans in community and institutional settings.
`Despite its prevalence. and an estimated annual cost ofmore than $15 billion, most affected individuals do not seek
`
`help for incontinence, primarily because of'embarras'sment or because they are not aware that help is available. When
`
`individuals do seek help, evidence exists that practitioners are hesitant or ill prepared to discuss, diagnose, or treat the
`problem.
`
`A ‘number of Federal and private organizations have provided research funding for the study of U I. Data from these
`
`studies indicate that treatment of U1 is effective in most people, but there is an increased need for efforts to inform and
`
`educate the public and health care providers about the condition. Furthermore, there are wide variations in the actual
`
`costs and methods of providing care for U1, in the actual costs per procedure, and the charges within each diagnostic
`group.
`
`it is expected that Ul will continue to be a signilic-ant health care problem in the elderly and institutionalized
`
`populations, and will increase as the population of America continues to age.
`
`This ('l:‘rz.r'ca[ Practice Guideline Update addresses major evaluative, diagnostic, treatment, and management issues of
`
`U1. It was developed under the sponsomhip of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), Public
`
`Health Service, U.S. Department ofl-lealth and Human Services. To develop the guideline, AHCPR convened a
`multidisciplinary, e..‘<pcrl panel of physicians, nurses, other allied health care providers, and consumers. The panel lirst
`undertook an extensive and interdisciplinary clinical review ofcurrent needs, therapeutic practices and principles, and
`
`emerging, let.'hnologies for diagnosis and treatment of U]. Second, the panel conducted a comprehensive review of the
`
`lield to define the existing knowledge base and critically evaluate the assumptions and common wisdom in the field.
`
`Third. the panel initiated peer review ofguidelinc drafts with intended users in clinical sites. Comments from these
`
`reviews were assessed and used in developing the guideline.

`
`Executive Summary
`
`Urinary incontinence (Ul) plagues 10-35 percent of adults and at least halfofthe 1.5 million nursing home residents in
`the United States. Because of the social stigma of‘ U1, many sufferers do not even report the problem to a health care
`provider. in addition, when it is reported, many physicians and nurses, who need to be educated in this area, fail to
`
`pursue investigation ofUl. As a result, this medical problem is vastly underdiagnosed and undcrrcpotted.
`
`The prevalence oflll, its toll on physical and psychological health, large variations in U] care practices and costs, and
`the urgent need to educate health care providers and the public about this condition prompted the selection ol‘U| as a
`clinical guideline topic.
`
`The purpose otthis guideline is to improve reporting, diagnosis. and treatment of U1; reduce variations in clinical
`
`practice; educate health care providers and consumers about this condition; and, finally, encourage further biomedical,
`
`clinical. and cost research on Ul. The guideline should help clinicians, caregivers, patients, and patients‘ families
`
`understand the assessment, management, and treatment of U1 in adults. Specific reimbursement issues are not
`addressed.
`
`The guideline recommendations apply to the diagnosis and treatment of acquired incontinence in ambulatory and
`nonambulatnry patients in outpatient, inpatient, and long—term care settings. Not addressed are extraurethral Ul, which
`
`is involuntary loss of urine through channels other than the urethra, U] in children, and U l due to no-uropathic
`conditions.
`
`To develop and update the guideline AHCPR convened a multidisciplinary. private—seetor panel ofphysicians. nurses,
`
`allied health professionals, and health care consumers. The panel conducted extensive literature reviews of U1 in
`
`adults, heard public testimony at national hearings, and examined information gathered from consultants. It studied the
`
`cttcctivcness and appropriateness ufdiagnostie and treatment procedures for U1, how they affect outcomes important
`
`to patients, their benefits and adverse consequences, and costs incurred from their use.
`
`The panel "found evidence in the literature that the treatment of Ul can improve or "cure“ most patients. It determined
`
`that U1 in the adult requires a comprehensive approach by health professionals in the initial evaluation -and treatment
`
`with behavioral and pharrnacologic interventions and requires specialists for further diagnostic evaluation and surgical
`intervention.
`
`The guideline provides practice recommendations in three areas:
`
`- Prevention, identification, and evaluation. Specific risk factors For incontinence can be both identified and
`
`remediated with targeted interventions and prevention programs. The identification and documentation of'Ul
`
`can be improved with more thorough medical history taking, physical examination, and rccordkeeping. Routine
`
`tests. oflower urinary tract function should be performed For initial identification of Ul. Situations that require
`further evaluation by qualified specialists include uncertain diagnosis, lack of correlation between symptoms
`
`and clinical findings, failure to respond to adequate therapeutic trial, hematuria without infection, presence of
`
`other comorbid conditions, and confirmation of diagnosis of incontinent patients being considered for surgical
`
`therapy. The specialized tests recommended for further diagnosis are detailed.
`
`- Selection of appropriate therapy. The guideline provides an informed framework for selecting appropriate
`behavioral, pharmacologic, and surgical treatments and supportive devices that can be used to manage U]. The
`
`panel concluded that behavioral techniques such as bladder retraining and pelvic muscle rehabilitation arc

`
`effective. |ow»risl-; interventions that can reduce incontinence significantly in varied populations. The guideline
`outlines ‘what drugs can be used effectively for certain types of incontinence, including dosages and possible
`
`side effects. The panel recognizes the effectiveness ofsurgical interventions in well-selected cases. Behavioral
`
`and pharmacologic treatments may reduce the need for surgical interventions and may be considered in the
`
`initial management. A new chapter on long—term management of chronic intractable Ul has been added to the
`
`updated chapters from the 1992 guideline. Specilic recommendations on management of patients with this
`condition are provided.
`
`- Education of health professionals and the public. Finally, the guideline calls for continued efforts to educate
`
`health care providers about this condition so that they are sufficiently knowledgeable to diagnose and treat it. it
`recommends that the public be advised to report incontinence problems once they occur and be informed that
`
`incontinence is not inevitable or shameful but is a treatable or at least manageable condition.
`
`This is an update of the guideline, Urinary Incorzlinence in Adulis first published in March i992. This update reflects
`
`new research findings and experience with emerging technologies and innovative approaches for Ul assessment and
`
`relief. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and the guideline development panel welcome comments and
`
`suggestions regarding the current guideline. Please address written comments to: Director, Office oi‘ the Forum For
`Quality and }'£t'feclivencss in Health Care, Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, 6000 Executive Boulevard,

`
`1 Overview
`
`incidt-me-c and Prevalence
`
`Ul affects approximately 13 million Americans, with the highest prevalence in the elderly in both community and
`institutional settings (National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Advisory Board, 1994). The high prevalence of U1 and
`its significant adverse physical, psychological, and financial effects clearly justify more aggressive efforts to identity,
`evaluate, ‘and treat U1 in all settings. Growing evidence indicates that appropriate management can reduce the
`morbidity and cost of U1, particularly in institutionalized populations (0uslander, Palmer, Rovner, at al., 1993).
`
`Although the prevalence of U1 increases with age. Ul should not be considered a normal part of the aging process.
`Rt:poI‘led prevalence rates oftll vary considerably. depending on the population studied, the definition of U1, and how
`
`the information is obtained (Diokno, Brock, Herzng, et al., 1990). Among the population between 15 and 64 years of
`
`age, the prevalence of U] in men ranges from 1.5 to 5 percent and in women from 10 to 30 percent (Burgio, Matthews,
`
`and lingel, |99|; Harrison and Mcmel, I994). Although Ul is usually regarded as a condition affecting older
`mulliparous. women, it is also common in young, nulliparous women, particularly during physical activity (Bo,
`
`Maehlum, Oseid, et al., 1989; Nygaard. Thompson, Svengalis, ct al., 1994)
`
`For noninstitutionalized persons older than 60 years of age, the prevalence of U1 ranges from 15 to 35 percent, with
`
`women having twice the prevalence of men. Between 25 and 30 percent of those identified as incontinent have
`frequent incontinence episodes. usually daily or weekly (Burgio, Matthews, and [Inge], I991; Diokno. Brock, Brown,
`t-:tal.. I986).
`
`Survey data from caregivers of the elderly show that approximately 53 percent of the homebound elderly are
`incontinent (Noelker, 1987). A random sampling of hospitalized elderly patients identified‘ l
`I percent as having
`
`persistent Ul at admission and 23 percent at discharge (Palmer, McCormick, Langford, ct al., 1992).
`
`U1" is generally recognized as one ofthe major causes of institutionalization ofthe elderly. Among the more than 1.5
`
`million nursing, facility residents, the prevalence of U1 is 50 percent or greater, with the majority ofnursing home
`residents having frequent Lil (Ouslander, Kane, and Abrass, I982; Palmer, German, and Ouslander, 199] ). The annual
`
`incidence of U] in nursing home residents who are admitted continent was recently reported to be 27 percent and is
`
`higher in males; it is strongly associated with dementia, fecal incontinence, and inability to walk and transfer
`
`independently (()uslander, Kane, and Abrass, 1982; Palmer. German, and Ouslander, 1991). Additional information
`
`about the prevalence ol'Ul in nursing home residents and homebcund persons is provided in Chapter 4.
`
`Quality of Life
`
`lll imposes a significant psychosocial impact on individuals, their families, and caregivers. Ul results in a loss ol'self-
`
`esteem and a decrease in ability to maintain an independent lifestyle. Dependence on caregivers for activities of daily
`
`life increases as incontinence worsens. Consequently, excursions outside the home. social interaction with friends and
`
`family, and sexual activity may be restricted or avoided entirely (Crrimby. Milsom, Molander, et al., 1993', Harris,
`
`1986; Noelker. I987). Quality—of—life and symptom distress questionnaires for women with U1 have been validated for
`use (Shumaker, Wyman, Uebersax, et al., 1994; Uebersax, Wyman, Shurnaker, et al., 1995).
`
`Unclerreportinglundertreatment
`
`Fewer than half ofindividuals with U1 living in the community consult health care providers about the problem
`
`(Burgio, Ives. Lochcr. et al., 1994). The reasons for this could be the availability ofabsorbent products, low

`
`expectations of benefit from reporting the condition to health care providers, and lack of information regarding
`
`management options. There is a lack "of understanding about U1, especially among men, those age 85 or older, and
`those with lower levels of education Branch, Walker, Wetle, ct a!., I994}.
`
`Studies show significant variation in perfonnance of adequate examination. assessment, and management of U]. U l is
`
`often undetected and underreported by hospital and nursing home personnel, masking its true extent and clinical
`impact and reducing the opportunity for effective management. Assessment tools with cue words for continence Status
`
`significantly improve identification of U] in nursing homes andincreasc the opportunity for effective management
`(Palmer, McCormick, Langford, et al.. I992).
`
`Risk Factors and Prevention
`
`The incidence of incontinence is su fficicntly high that the development of an effective prevention program would
`
`reduce new cases of incontinence in community-dwelling women alone by approximately 50,000 cases annually (Siu,
`
`Beers. and Morgenstern, I993). There is good evidence that specific risk factors for incontinence can be both
`
`identified and remediated with targeted interventions. However, no controlled clinical trial data exist showing that
`
`these interventions reduce incontinence incidence, severity, or prevalence. Table 1 provides a summary ofrisk factors
`associated with incontinence that have been documented in the literature. Some of the risk factors for U1 are discussed
`
`further in Chapter 2. Only one reference has been listed for each risk factor, although in most cases multiple studies
`have described the same factor. Several ofthe studies described interventions that have moditied these risk factors
`
`successfully.
`
`Costs
`
`A recent estimate of the direct costs of caring for persons of all ages with incontinence is $1 1.2 billion annually in the
`
`community and $5.2 billion in nursing homes (based on I994 dollars) Hu, 1994). This cost estimate is more than 60
`
`percent greater than a previous estimate (Irlu, I990), an increase greater than that for the cost of services in the medical
`care sector. Data show that costs of providing care for U1 vary widely (Baker and Blue, 1995; Hu, Gabelko, Weiss, et
`21].. I994).
`
`The guideline does not address specific reimbursement issues, which are being evaluated by other groups (National
`Kidney and Urologic Diseases Advisory Board, 1994.).
`
`Purpose and Scope
`
`The original (.’/iru't'r.'l' !’r'acrice Gm'n'ct'l'ne on Urinarjv fm.'(m!i'nerIce in /ldu/t.s' was published in March i992. The
`purpose and scope ofthe I992 guideline and the methodology for its development are outlined below. The process
`used for updating the original guideline, which resulted in the publication of this Clirt-that Pr'¢ic't:'ce Guide-line Update
`on Urinary Incontinence in Adults: Acute and Chronic Management is also outlined.
`
`1992 Guideline
`
`The original U1 guideline panel defined Ul as involuntary loss ofurine that is sufficient to be a problem. The panel
`agreed that the guideline. which sought to improve the care of incontinent adults, should be directed toward acquired
`incontinence in ambulatory and nonambulatory patients in outpatient, inpatient, home care, and long-term care
`
`settings. Extraurethral Lil, which is involuntary loss of urine through channels other than the urethra, was not
`addressed in the document. The guideline was targeted to all practitioners who encounter U l, with the primary
`outcome ofelimination or reduction of Ul.
`
`The original panel also agreed on the components of the evaluation and management of U1, which were considered to
`
`be the management model for the guideline. The original guideline made seven broacl—based recommendations, as

`programs.
`
`The original panel conducted an extensive literature review on Ul in adults, heard public testimony at a national
`
`hearing. and reviewed information from consultants. It also sought further evidence of the costs of U1, variations in
`
`practice and payments, the prevalence of incontinence in hospitals. and the incidence of U] in outpatient,
`
`rehabilitation, and home settings. Previous research data and expert opinions helped to provide insight into the
`
`problem within communities, acute care facilities, and nursing homes. The draft guideline was also extensively peer-
`
`reviewed by individual experts and representatives of the various professional and public organizations, and many of
`
`their recommendations were incorporated into the document.
`
`The panel Found evidence that treatment ofLll is effective in most people; however, the condition was underreported,
`
`services were improperly or poorly documented, and major variations in diagnosis and treatment were identified as
`
`significant problems.
`
`The original Ul panel also recommended that review of the guideline respond to new developments in Ul research,
`
`training, product developments, practice, and patient participation. Because ofthe magnitude of literature produced
`each year, the panel recommended that the guideline be updated annually.
`
`Updating the Guictel-lne
`
`Because the recommendations were so broad—based, AHCPR recommended updating the guideline to include recent
`
`literature and to provide specific recommendations for managing Ul in adults. AHCPR Ptovidcd the general
