The objective: to investigate the epidemiology of the stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and common lower urinary tract symptoms and the related quality of life among women of different age groups of the selected population by the questionnaire method. Materials and methods. Questionnaires of 49 women of all ages, who were not treated for urologic complaints at the time of the survey, were analyzed. The anamnestic part of the Petros questionnaire and short forms Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were selected for survey. The age distribution is based on qualitative age ranges recommended by WHO. Results. In all, 63% of women surveyed had complaints related with urinary disorders; the most common lower urinary tract symptom was SUI, which worried 41% of all women. The prevalence of SUI among women of different age groups varied: in young and mature women – 35%, significantly increased in middle-aged women and decreased in elderly women. All middle-aged and elderly women had lower urinary tract symptoms. Among the recognized risk factor for SUI was statistically significant cough (p<0.05) with an average association between risk factor and disease. About 61% of patients with urinary incontinence indicated that their symptoms affected quality of life. Conclusions. The analysis of the results of the questionnaire confirmed the feasibility of using UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in epidemiological studies of UI among women. The results of the work performed may be qualified as partial validation of the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 questionnaires in terms of assessing their reliability. Keywords: urinary incontinence among women, stress urinary incontinence among women, lower urinary tract symptoms among women, quality of life, risk factors, questionnaires.

Outcomes of stroke result in long-term disability in most of the patients. It has been confirmed by scientific studies that rehabilitation can improve functional status and quality of life of poststroke patients. The effectiveness of rehabilitation and the outcomes often differ among patients. For effective utilization of the rehabilitation resources, it is important to prognosticate the possible outcomes of the disorder. Recently, studies are performed with the aim to determine and evaluate factors possibly influencing functional recovery in poststroke patients and helping to distinguish patients with good outcome from those with poor outcome. Age, gender, initial severity of the stroke, functional status at admission to hospital, urinary incontinence, impairment in cognitive function, unilateral neglect syndrome are most often analyzed in scientific studies as factors determining the outcomes of the disorder.
