Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Geriatrics
  • Urology

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 156 stroke patients from Bispebjerg Hospital.
  • Focus on urinary incontinence (UI) and stroke severity.
  • Data collected from doctors' and nurses' case records from 1988.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the relationship between urinary incontinence and stroke severity.
  • To assess the documentation of UI in patient records.
  • To highlight the perceived priority of UI in stroke care.

Summary:

  • A significant correlation was found between UI and stroke severity indicators (hospital stay, discharge status, mobility).
  • Prevalence of UI: 44% on admission, 26% at discharge.
  • Discrepancy in documentation: nurses recorded UI in 90% of cases, doctors in only 10%.

Impact:

  • Suggests urinary incontinence is under-documented by physicians in stroke patients.
  • Highlights a potential gap in stroke patient care and management.
  • Emphasizes the need for increased physician awareness and documentation of UI.
