Background: The 2007 National Institutes of Health incontinence consensus panel emphasised the need for classification and identification persons at risk faecal (FI). Objectives: To explore prevalence FI; to characterise severity 'bother'; identify factors associated with FI in a large sample community-dwelling women. Design, setting, participants: A cohort US women ≥ 45 years old was surveyed via an internet-based questionnaire between September 2009 April 2010. Main outcome measure:...
Accidental bowel leakage (ABL) is associated with negative impact on quality of life (QoL) and many women do not seek care.To assess current perspectives QoL among ABL; to identify factors severe condition-specific QoL; describe care-seeking for ABL.Sub-analysis 1096 ABL identified through an internet-based, self-administered survey 5817 US ≥ 45 years old.Severe was defined as response 'affects very much' or 'greatly' any seven domains within Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire.QoL data were...
In Brief Objective The aim of this study was to characterize factors associated with care seeking among women accidental bowel leakage (ABL). Methods A secondary analysis 938 ABL identified in a community-based Internet survey 5817 US 45 years or older performed. Demographics, medical history, incontinence severity, quality life, coping, and were assessed using questions derived from validated questionnaires.

In this article, we address the limitations of existing implicit bias interventions as a strategy for achieving maternal health equity. We then focus on how institutionally sanctioned racial stereotyping harms Black and marginalizes key group in fight equity—Black physicians. Finally, provide strategies to perinatal care structural barriers impeding physicians' success.
<h3>Background:</h3> More than half of older adults experience urinary (UI) or fecal incontinence (FI), but the majority have never discussed symptoms with health care providers. Little is known about primary providers9 (PCPs9) screening for UI and FI. <h3>Methods:</h3> We conducted a cross-sectional electronic survey PCPs within Midwest academic institution to ascertain compare PCPs9 beliefs, attitudes, behaviors regarding treatment FI; determine factors associated identify potential...

The aim of this study was to describe real-world outcomes in women treated for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with pessary or surgery over 36 months. We report patients a multicenter, prospective registry who opted treatment POP either (discontinuation retreatment rates and subjective improvement) (retreatment improvement). Among 1,153 patients, follow-up available 248 (84%), 123 (42%), 98 (33%) the group 717 (93%), 407 (53%), 331 (43%) at 12, 24, months, respectively. In group, discontinuation...
