• Urinary and faecal incontinence: point prevalence and predictors in a university hospital 

  Condon, Marie; Mannion, Edel; Molloy, D. William; O'Caoimh, Rónán (MDPI, 2019)

  Incontinence is common and associated with adverse outcomes. There are insufficient point prevalence data for incontinence in hospitals. We evaluated the prevalence of urinary (UI) and faecal incontinence (FI) and their ...
