Predictive factors of adherence to urinary self‐catheterization in older adults

Abstract

Obesity, low PP test score, and important SUI are factors of poor adherence to CISC at 1 month in older adults. Necessity of more than three CISC per day is in favor of treatment continuation, possibly due to absence of spontaneous voiding in these patients. Long-term adherence to CISC in older adults in this study remains close to adherence to other treatments prescribed in urinary disorders, and thus shows that CISC could be an easily purposed therapeutic option in this population, either on a long-term or transitory basis.
