Prevalence and Treatment of Anal Incontinence (AI) in Primiparous Women
Prevalence and Treatment of Anal Incontinence in Primiparous Women
Traumatic tears of the sphincter ani muscles after delivery may result in symptomatic urinary and anal incontinence, particularly in primiparas.
The efficacy of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) in treating urinary incontinence (UI)is well documented, however, to date there is little evidence to support the efficacy of PFME in treating symptomatic anal incontinence.
This project consists of three separate studies. The prevalence survey/ study (1), investigates the prevalence of symptomatic anal incontinence among primiparas at Ostfold Hospital Trust Fredrikstad, Norway and St Olav's Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital, Norway, and the results in this study will form the basis of the two identical randomized controlled trials (RCT) investigating the treatment efficacy of PFME two groups of postpartum women. Women reporting symptomatic anal incontinence at six months postpartum (2) and women who have sustained a traumatic 3rd or 4th degree tear of the sphincter ani muscles during delivery (3), respectively, are randomized to an intervention group receiving PFME treatment for six months, or a control group. All RCT participants will undergo examination of PFM strength and activity, as well as anal ultrasound prior to randomization and after the intervention period.

Sem intervenção: Control group, RCT2
Participants reporting anal incontinence 6 months postpartum receiving written information only for 6 months.
After 6 months they are offered the same intervention as the intervention group, i.e.
PFMT for 6 months.

Comparador Ativo: Intervention group, RCT 2
Participants reporting anal incontinence 6 months postpartum receiving pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for 6 months (+6 months).
|
6 months of daily pelvic floor exercise treatment with regular follow up by specialist physiotherapist.
|
Sem intervenção: Control group, RCT3
Women with obsteric anal sphincter injury receiving written information only for 6 months.
After 6 months they are offered the same intervention as the intervention group, i.e.
PFMT for 6 months.

Medidas de resultados primários
Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
---|---|---|
Change in Anal Incontinence as Measured on the St. Mark's Score
Prazo: 0 to 24 months postpartum
|
Survey and interview using the questionnaire St. Mark's incontinence score ranging from 0 (no incontinence) -24 (complete incontinence) points for measuring anal incontinence (AI).
The A total of 1069 women responded to the questionnaires at 6 months postpartum and 1031 at 12 months postpartum.
Discrepancies in the number of included and analysed participants in the PFME trials are related to the number of women who did not attend the follow-up appointments as described in the published paper.

---|---|---|
Change in Urinary Incontinence as Measured on ICI-Q UI SF
Prazo: 0 to 24 months postpartum
|
International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire, short form (ICI-Q SF) ranges from 0 (Complete continence) to 21 (Complete incontinence) and measures the frequency of UI, amount of leakage and impact on quality of life. Data have not been analysed. |
0 to 24 months postpartum
|
Fecal Incontinence of Life (FIQL) Scale
Prazo: 0 to 24 months postpartum
|
Change in health-related quality of Life as measured on the fecal incontinence quality of life scale (FIQL).
There is no total scale, only four sub scales ranging from 4 (complete continence, no impact on QoL) to 1 (complete incontinence, severe impact on QoL) Data from the postpartum period has not and will not be analysed due to low numbers.
|
0 to 24 months postpartum
|
Change in Pelvic Floor Muscle Function Test as Measured on the ICS Scale
Prazo: 12 to 24 months postpartum
|
Digital palpation and grading of voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction (1=absent, 2=weak, 3=normal, 4=strong).
|
12 to 24 months postpartum
|
Change in Manometry Measurements
Prazo: 12 to 24 months postpartum
|
manometric measurements of pelvic floor muscle strength and anal sphincter length during voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction
|
12 to 24 months postpartum
