The aim of this study is to verify the prevalence of urinary incontinence in hospitalized patients and identify the statistical associations between the figures gathered and some of the patients' demographic and clinical variables. The data were obtained with 77 inpatients of three different units from the University of São Paulo's Hospital Universitário. The results showed a total prevalence of 35% and partial rates of 48%, 37% and 22% in the Surgical, Obstetric and Clinical Units respectively. Significant statistical correlation were observed between the prevalence and dysuria (r = 0.19 and p = 0.046), urinary infections (r = 0.24 and p = 0.019), length of inpatient stay (r = -0.32 and p = 0.002) and gender (males: r = -0.27 and p = 0.008).
本研究的目的是核实住院患者尿失禁的患病率，并确定所收集数据与部分患者人口统计学和临床变量之间的统计学关联。数据来自圣保罗大学医院三个不同科室的77名住院患者。结果显示，总体患病率为35%，外科、产科和临床科室的部分患病率分别为48%、37%和22%。观察到患病率与排尿困难（r = 0.19，p = 0.046）、泌尿系统感染（r = 0.24，p = 0.019）、住院时间（r = -0.32，p = 0.002）和性别（男性：r = -0.27，p = 0.008）之间存在显著的统计学相关性。
