Objective To explore the current status of urinary incontinence and its influencing factors among type 2 diabetes inpatients, and to provide reference for developing targeted preventive measures. Methods A total of 273 type 2 diabetes inpatients were investigated using the general information questionnaire and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UISF). Results Totally 135(49.5%) patients encountered urinary incontinence, 9(6.7%) of them were mild, 100(74.1%) were moderate, 24(17.8%) were severe, and 2(1.5%) were extremely severe;and 13(9.6%) of them were stress urinary incontinence, 89(65.9%) were urgency urinary incontinence, and the other 33(24.4%) were mixed urinary incontinence.Logistic regression analysis showed that, age, glycosylated hemoglobin, peripheral neuropathy, stroke, retinopathy and constipation were the major influencing factors of urinary incontinence among type 2 diabetes inpatients (P＜0.05,P＜0.01). Conclusion The incidence of urinary incontinence in type 2 diabetes inpatients is high. Medical staff should focus on those patients with higher age, poor glycemic control and coexisting microvascular complications, in order to recognize and prevent urinary incontinence early.
