    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Prevalence of urinary incontinence [4 years]

      Assess by self-administered questionnaire and register data. Cross-sectional, measure once. The questionnaire International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence Short form (ICIQ-UI SF) was used to assess urinary incontinence (UI). It consist of six questions, and the score of three of the questions (assessing frequency of UI, volume of leak and bother) sums up to a total score. It ranges between 0-21 where 0 is no incontinence and a higher score indicates more severe symptoms of UI. The inclusion of participants are over a period of four years.

    2. Psychometric validation of ICIQ-UI SF (questionnaire used to assess urinary incontinence) [2 years]

      We investigated the predictive validity, internal consistency, patient-interview agreement, construct validity, test-retest reliability, and sensitivity to change for the ICIQ-UI SF.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Association between urinary incontinence and diabetes [4 years]

      Assess by self-administered questionnaire and register data. Cross-sectional, measure once. The inclusion of participants are over a period of four years.

    2. Participants demographics [4 years]

      Assess by self-administered questionnaire and register data. Cross-sectional, measure once. The inclusion of participants are over a period of four years.

    3. Objective characterization of urinary incontinence in women with and without diabetes [2 years]

      Assess by urodynamics studies. Description of type of urinary incontinence, first sensation (ml), normal desire (ml), urgency (ml), max capacity (ml) and PVR (ml). Measured once for each participants. Data collected over a period of two years.
