背景一个可靠的方法记录失禁发作的频率是必不可少的评估治疗结果在临床实践和研究。膀胱日记由患者前瞻性完成，已广泛用于此目的。本研究调查了膀胱日记报告尿失禁频率的连续天数，以获得足够的内部一致性（可靠性）方法。参与者是214名社区居住的妇女，年龄在40至90岁之间，有压力性、急迫性或混合性尿失禁病史，持续至少3个月，每周有两次或两次以上的漏尿。每位参与者均记录14天的膀胱日记，记录每次尿失禁发作的时间和情况。参与者的平均年龄为63.5岁; 16.9%为非洲裔美国人。主要为急迫性尿失禁的女性（n = 138）报告了每日2.1次失禁发作的频率。尽管第1周（每天2.4次发作）和第2周（每天2.0次发作; p
Background. A reliable method of documenting the frequency of incontinent episodes is essential for assessment of treatment outcome in both clinical practice and research studies. Bladder diaries. completed prospectively by the patient, have been widely used for this purpose. This study investigated the number of consecutive days of bladder diary reports of incontinence frequency necessary to obtain adequate internal consistency (reliability)Methods. Participants were 214 community-dwelling women, aged 40 to 90 years, with a history of stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence, persisting at least 3 months with a frequency of two or more episodes of urine leakage per week. Each barticipant kept a 14-day bladder diary documenting the time and circumstances of each incontinence episode.Results. The mean age of participants was 63.5 years; 16.9% were African American. Women with predominantly urge incontinence (n = 138) reported a daily frequency of 2.1 incontinent episodes. Although there was a statistically significant difference between Week 1 (2.4 episodes per day) and Week 2 (2.0 episodes per day; p
