Abstract

Cathryn Glazener and colleagues1 found a remarkably high rate of urinary incontinence 12 months after radical prostatectomy and certainly after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on the basis of two subjective questions on the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire—Urinary Incontinence Short Form. With this in mind, one must be cautious about the clinical relevance of this questionnaire. Any positive response to either of two screening questions was defined as incontinence, which means that a patient losing a few drops less than once a week is regarded as incontinent.
