Recovery from poststroke urinary incontinence: associated factors and impact on outcome

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that poor recovery from urinary incontinence after suffering a stroke is independently associated with age, with patients aged 75 years and older demonstrating less than optimum recovery outcomes. Patient recovery from incontinence is recommended as a primary goal for stroke professionals, as it is linked to reduced disability and institutionalization rates.
