Abstract: HMORN -Selected Abstracts regression model, factors that were statistically significant predictors of UI diagnosis (p<0.01)included UI score (OR 1.28 (95% CI 1.19-1.81)),urine loss behavior (OR 1.12 (95% CI 1.06-1.18)),Charlson Index (OR 2.22 (95% CI 1.52-3.23))and duration of UI symptoms (OR 3.09 (95% CI 1.69-5.64)).The remaining variables (age, age2, marital status, education, BMI, and parity) were not statistically significant or associated with a UI diagnosis.Conclusions: Self-reported UI severity, duration, behavioral change, and comorbidities increase likelihood of UI diagnosis.Understanding symptom and health characteristics of women with UI who seek care allows us to develop better tools to predict, target and potentially prevent UI.
