Its true prevalence remains under\u2010estimated and a matter of debate. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of anal incontinence among the collaborators of a tertiary hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An anonymous survey was distributed to all collaborators of a tertiary hospital using a standardized electronic questionnaire, incorporating Jorge\u2013Wexner and LARS scores and items covering different definitions of anorectal incontinence, along with demographic characteristics and specific medical history.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 14,270 collaborators, 2535 filled the questionnaire. This sample was comparable to the total hospital staff concerning age, gender and occupation. Anorectal incontinence (defined by a Jorge\u2013Wexner score \u2265\u20093) was present in 20.9% of participants. However, only 2.3% fulfilled the strict Rome IV criteria for faecal incontinence. The presence of anorectal incontinence was higher in women (16.2% vs. 4.7%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001), but the Rome IV criteria were comparable. In women, vaginal delivery was not associated with anal incontinence in univariate and multivariate analyses or with Rome IV criteria after adjustment. Diabetes was markedly associated with the presence of Rome IV criteria (OR: 3.3, 95% CI: 1.09\u201310.08,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.035). History of proctological procedure was also substantially associated with anorectal incontinence and Rome IV criteria (OR: 4, 95% CI: 1.86\u20138.6,\n
