The ability of 34 elderly women (79 +/- 6 years, range 71-95 years) with urinary incontinence to perform the 48-h perineal pad test in their home environment was investigated. The mean involuntary urinary loss during the 48-h observation period was 80 +/- 88 g (range (2-411 g). Thirty patients successfully compared the two perineal pad systems commercially available in Sweden (LIC and Mölnlycke). Twelve women considered the systems to be equivalent. Thirteen women preferred the Mölnlycke system while five women preferred the LIC system. There was a good correlation between the patients own weighing of the pads and control weighings at the clinic, performed on a precision weight scale (LIC: n = 15, r = 0.99; Mölnlycke: n = 15, r = 0.99). The 48-h perineal pad test performed in the patients home environment should have a given place in the investigation of urinary incontinence amongst elderly women.
对34名患有尿失禁的老年女性(79±6岁,年龄范围71 - 95岁)在其家庭环境中进行48小时会阴垫试验的能力进行了研究。在48小时观察期内,平均非自愿性尿失禁量为80±88克(范围为2 - 411克)。30名患者成功比较了瑞典市场上两种可用的会阴垫系统(LIC和莫林阿克)。12名女性认为这两种系统相当。13名女性更喜欢莫林阿克系统,而5名女性更喜欢LIC系统。患者自己对垫子的称重与在诊所使用精密秤进行的对照称重之间存在良好的相关性(LIC:n = 15,r = 0.99;莫林阿克:n = 15,r = 0.99)。在患者家庭环境中进行的48小时会阴垫试验在老年女性尿失禁的调查中应占有一席之地。
