Factors Linked to Sexual Function Assessment in Urinary Incontinence Care

The authors aimed to determine the frequency and factors influencing the documentation of sexual function assessments during initial visits for midlife females with urinary incontinence. Their study found that only 53.1% of encounters included such assessments, with lower documentation rates associated with male healthcare providers, older patient age, and unmarried status. The findings suggest a need for standardized sexual function assessments to improve detection and address disparities in care for this population.
