Prevalence and Treatment of Anal Incontinence (AI) in Primiparous Women

2016年8月24日 更新者:Ostfold Hospital Trust

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.

条件

详细说明

The recruitment in RCT ( 2) has been lower than expected (49/72). Due to financial reasons and problems with logistics and preparations for the main hospital (Ostfold Hospital Trust) moving into a new hospital, we were unable to extend the recruitment period in study 1. In RCT (3) AI was not an inclusion criterion. However, as both RCTs had the same outcome measure; anal incontinence, and a joint randomization process, stratified on hospital site and whether the participants had sustained an obsteric anal sphincter injury at delivery or not, the results from these studies will be reported together.

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in Anal Incontinence as Measured on the St. Mark's Score
大体时间: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.
0 to 24 months postpartum

大体时间
Change in Urinary Incontinence as Measured on ICI-Q UI SF
大体时间: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
大体时间: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.
