    El objetivo de la presente revisión es esclarecer los conocimientos generales de la incontinencia urinaria por deficiencia esfinteriana, su diagnóstico y opciones terapéuticas. La metodología usada para la realización de este trabajo fue revisión de literatura exploratoria y descriptiva. La inconti- nencia urinaria tiene impacto en la calidad de vida de las mujeres en la menopausia, y actualmente se realizan diversas opciones terapéuticas de forma mínimamente invasiva por los nuevos avances tecnológicos. El diagnóstico de la IUE se basa en la realización de manera eficaz y ordenada de un examen ginecológico completo, incluyendo procedimientos técnicos. En el tratamiento, la cirugía de slings es la más usada actualmente, concomitante con las medidas-higiénico dietéticas y las técnicas psicológicas de modificación de conductas; los parámetros de calidad de vida más afectados son la actividad sexual, la urgencia miccional y las infecciones urinarias frecuentes

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
