    Author: Mommsen S, Foldspang A, Elving LB, Lam GW.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1994 May 02; 156(18):2755-8. PubMed ID: 8009717.
    Abstract:
    In a cross-sectional study, 85% of 3114 women responded to a questionnaire on urinary incontinence and a history of abdominal, gynaecological and urological surgery. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was 17%; 63% had undergone surgery, mainly gynaecological, and almost one-third of the respondents had had more than one operation. Bivariate and multivariate analysis showed stress urinary incontinence to be associated with previous exposure to surgery.
