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.

NHS Evidence - women's health is holding its second Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on Female Urinary Incontinence from Monday 1 February.

Specific topics include: sacral neuromodulation for urinary storage and voiding dysfunction; pharmacotherapy for stress urinary incontinence; the use of botulinum toxin in the management of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), and conservative management of stress urinary incontinence.

The 2010 Annual Evidence Update on Male Urinary Incontinence is also being launched that day, in advance of the publication of the NICE guidelines on the Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men later this year. This AEU updates the high-quality evidence and commentaries presented in early 2009 on: post-prostatectomy and urinary incontinence; Botulinum Toxin A; conservative management; male and female quality of life studies; stress urinary incontinence and surgery; stress urinary incontinence and drug treatment; urgency urinary incontinence and surgery; and urgency urinary incontinence and drug treatment. We also present the RCTs and lower level evidence published in 2009 on Botulinum Toxin A and male urinary incontinence.
