| Annotation | Urinary incontinence (UI) after stroke is a common problem associated with a poor outcome. Results from the Royal College of Physicians' National Sentinel Audits of Stroke 1998-2004 reflect this association. In the audits, plans to promote urinary continence were more likely to occur in stroke units, and that likelihood increased in units meeting higher organisational standards. The 2004 audit highlights a disproportionate use of catheters to manage UI. The influence of UI on discharge destination has also altered little. Stroke unit care is more strongly associated with management planning for UI in stroke. (RH). |
