Annual Evidence Update on Urinary Incontinence: 31 January - 4 February 2011

An update of the evidence on this topic from NHS Evidence - kidney diseases and male urogenital disorders and NHS Evidence - women's health.

The Kidney Diseases and Male Urogenital Disorders Specialist Collection and the Women's Health Specialist Collection have identified and reviewed new evidence on the diagnosis and management of urinary incontinence published during the last 12 months. The Kidney Diseases and Male Urogenital Disorders Specialist Collection presents evidence published since the release of the NICE guideline on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms which has been reviewed by urologists from the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, and the Women's Health Specialist Collection provides an update on the latest evidence on the management of female urge urinary incontinence/overactive bladder and the pharmacotherapy, surgical and conservative management of female stress urinary incontinence.

We know it is very difficult for busy health professionals to keep up-to-date with the huge volume of literature that is published each year and so the specialist collections are here to do this for you.
