RESUMOEste estudo objetivou verificar a prevalência da incontinência urinária em pacientes hospitalizados e identificar as associações estatísticas existentes entre os índices obtidos e algumas variá-veis demográficas e clínicas da clientela. Os dados foram colhidos no Hospital Universitário da USP, junto a 77 pacientes internados em três diferentes clínicas. Os resultados indicaram prevalências total de 35% e parciais de 48%, 37% e 22% nas Clínicas Cirúr-gica, Obstétrica e Médica, respectivamente. Correlações estatisticamente significativas foram verificadas entre a prevalência e disúria (r=0,19 e p=0,046), infecções urinárias (r=0,24 e p=0,019), tempo de internação (r=-0,32 e p=0,002) e sexo masculino (r=-0,27 e p=0,008). DESCRITORES Incontinência urinária (epidemiologia). Pacientes internados. ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to verify the prevalence of urinary incontinence in hospitalized patients and identify the statistical associations between the figures gathered and some of the patients' demographic and clinical variables. The data were obtained with 77 inpatients of three different units from the University of São Paulo's Hospital Universitário. The results showed a total prevalence of 35% and partial rates of 48%, 37% and 22% in the Surgical, Obstetric and Clinical Units respectively. Significant statistical correlation were observed between the prevalence and dysuria (r=0.19 and p=0.046), urinary infections (r=0.24 and p=0.019), length of inpatient stay (r=-0.32 and p=0.002) and gender (males: r=-0.27 and p=0.008). KEY WORDSUrinary incontinence (epidemiology). Inpatient.
