[Management of urinary incontinence in a geriatric rehabilitation department : Global urinary incontinence assessment incorporating the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnare - Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF)].
Zeitschrift Für Gerontologie und Geriatrie 2018 April

To incorporate the multiple aspects into the daily routine, we developed a global urinary incontinence assessment at the Clinic for Geriatric Rehabilitation of the Robert Bosch Hospital including the validated International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnare - Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), a symptom score and results of a comprehensive geriatric assessment for mobility and cognition. In the years 2013-2015 this strategy was pursued for 728 geriatric patients and individually adapted interventions were initiated depending on the triggering cause. The experiences are presented.
