摘要：
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common medical problem affecting 25% to 50% of women in the United States.∈This article reviews the literature on the current systems- and population-based costs of management of SUI in women. A PubMed search was conducted to seek studies examining the cost of various management options.∈Both nonsurgical and surgical management can effectively improve symptoms of SUI at a wide spectrum of costs. Over $12 billion are spent annually, an amount that continues to grow. Patients pay out-of-pocket for 70% of conservative management, amounting to a significant individual financial burden.∈Systems-based cost of SUI management continues to rise with the aging population.∈Costs to both individuals and systems may be mitigated if more patients are treated with intent to cure and as surgical management transitions from inpatient to outpatient procedures. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
