In this paper, we studied the prevalence of long-term urinary incontinence (UI) in post-stroke patients. In addition, we attempted to identify patient characteristics which were associated with higher UI prevalence, higher UI severity, and less UI-associated QoL. Methods: Medical records in a tertiary referral hospital were used to contact patients who had experienced a stroke between 6 to 32 months before the study date. The patients were given the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) questionnaire for determining the presence of UI and its severity. UI-positive patients were then given the I-QOL questionnaire to determine their QoL. Results: The prevalence of UI in our study population (n=189) was 31%. Older age at the time of stroke was associated with higher UI severity (r=0.290) and lower QoL (r=-0.265). Furthermore, the presence of movement limitation was associated with higher UI prevalence (P&lt;0.001, OR=3.89) and severity (P=0.002, d=1.05). Movement limitation also significantly impacted the psychological and social aspects of UI-associated QoL (P=0.035, d=-0.74). Conversely, higher body mass indices (BMIs) were associated with lower UI severity (r=-0.346) and higher QoL (r=0.281). Conclusion: In conclusion, UI continues to be prevalent in stroke survivors long after the cerebrovascular accident (CVA). As a result, these patients require continuous monitoring and UI prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/aim.2023.36","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,23]],"date-time":"2023-08-23T10:54:33Z","timestamp":1692788073000},"page":"234-240","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Prevalence and Features of Post-stroke Urinary Incontinence: A Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3335-1758","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohammad Amin","family":"Sadeghi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6791-2202","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sara","family":"Hemmati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"},{"name":"School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seyede Zahra","family":"Emami Razavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fahimeh","family":"Vahabizad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Sina Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3648-5276","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mir Saeed","family":"Yekaninejad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6860-0403","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohaddeseh","family":"Azadvari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"},{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of medical sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]},"container-title":["Archives of Iranian Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journalaim.com\/PDF\/aim-26-234.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journalaim.com\/PDF\/aim-26-234.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,23]],"date-time":"2023-08-23T10:54:33Z","timestamp":1692788073000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journalaim.com\/Article\/aim-26322"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/aim.2023.36","relation":{},"ISSN":["1029-2977","1735-3947"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1029-2977","type":"print"},{"value":"1735-3947","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Academy of Medical Sciences of I.R.
