Association between urinary incontinence and frailty: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Purpose: Urinary incontinence (UI) and frailty are common geriatric syndromes.

Methods: A systematic search in major databases was undertaken until 15th March 2018 for studies reporting the association between UI and frailty. The prevalence of UI in people with frailty (vs. those without) was pooled through an odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with a random-effects model. The other outcomes were sum…
