HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projec...

“…2 Este sintoma acomete mulheres de várias faixas etárias, tendo maior prevalência em idosas, gestantes, pacientes com predisposição genética, obesas, mulheres com infecção urinária, pacientes neurológicos e pacientes submetidas ao parto normal, sendo responsável por causar inúmeros transtornos à qualidade de vida. 3 Especificamente em relação à etiologia da IU no envelhecimento, postula-se que estaria relacionada ao próprio processo fisiológico, visto que esta é uma etapa da vida composta por maior vulnerabilidade às doenças, podendo influenciar diretamente em disfunções nas vias urinárias inferiores, contribuindo com o surgimento da IU e aumentando sua prevalência entre os idosos. 4 Desta forma, a IU irá ocasionar impacto altamente negativo no desempenho desses pacientes, causando diversos transtornos físicos, econômicos, psicológicos, emocionais, sexuais e sociais, refletindo na condição de saúde e interferindo diretamente no bem-estar social e na qualidade de vida.…”

ResumoA incontinência urinária (IU) é definida como qualquer perda involuntária de urina. Acomete mulheres de várias faixas etárias e apresenta alta incidência em idosas, afetando de forma significativa a qualidade de vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de IU em idosas institucionalizadas e verificar sua influência na qualidade de vida. A amostra foi composta por 40 idosas institucionalizadas dos municípios de Petrolina e Juazeiro que tinham idade igual ou superior a 60 anos. Inicialmente, foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas, ginecológicas e sobre a presença de IU. Em seguida, as idosas que relataram perda de urina responderam ao questionário específico King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). A análise de dados foi feita por meio de estatística descritiva. A presença de IU foi referida por 47,50% das idosas. O domínio do KHQ que sofreu maior interferência na qualidade de vida foi o de percepção de saúde com 51,31%; nos outros domínios, o impacto da IU foi considerado baixo, mas na escala de sintomas as idosas relataram que a IU afeta mais ou menos ou muito sua vida. Foi possível concluir que é elevada a prevalência de IU em idosas institucionalizadas, e observar que muitas vezes essas mulheres convivem com estes sintomas como algo intrínseco ao envelhecimento, não percebendo o quanto afetam sua qualidade de vida. AbstractUrinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine. It affects women of all ages and has high incidence in elderly women, significantly affecting the quality of life. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of UI in institutionalized elderly women and verify their influence on the quality of life. The sample consisted of 40 institutionalized elderly women in the municipalities of Petrolina and Juazeiro who

“…UI is a significant health problem in modern society, and it affects more than 50 million people worldwide, mainly women 12 , at a rate of 2 women for every man 14 . Even though UI prevalence rates vary according to the definition and characteristics of the studies and target populations 15 , it is estimated that 8 to 58% of adult women 1 have symptoms of incontinence 16,17 . Estimates show that OB affects approximately 40% of the women who seek medical treatment for UI 18 .…”

“…Some of the predisposing factors are menopause because of the reduction in female hormones; pregnancy and vaginal delivery, which suggest neuromuscular trauma to the pelvic floor muscles (PFM); deficiency or inadequate function of PFM 16 ; neurological or biochemical changes frequently associated with the aging process; presence of predisposing diseases such as diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, dementia, depression, obesity, bladder cancer, lithiasis, chronic urinary infections and Parkinson's disease. The influence of those factors is not yet well defined 3,19 .…”

Objectives: To compare the impact of the type of urinary incontinence on women's quality of life. Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on the medical records of 77 incontinent women who underwent physical therapy treatment between February 2005 and October 2006. Based on the urodynamic test data, the women were classified into three groups: stress urinary incontinence (SUI), overactive bladder (OB) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). The subjects' history was taken, the women provided demographic data and they answered the King's Health Questionnaire, which is a specific questionnaire for assessing the quality of life among individuals with urinary incontinence. Results: Most of the patients (44%) had MUI. The patients affected by OB were significantly older than the patients in the other groups. The negative impact of incontinence on quality of life (General Health Perception domain) and lifestyle was significantly greater among the women affected by MUI than among the patients in the other groups. Conclusion: This study indicated that the negative impact of incontinence on quality of life was greater among patients with MUI.Key words: urinary incontinence; quality of life; women's health.
