Women with chronic lung disease characterised by chronic cough report urinary incontinence. Recently there have been reports of increased urinary incontinence in girls and women with cystic fibrosis. While coughing is a known risk factor for stress incontinence, other risk factors and causes are poorly understood in this population. Treatment of incontinence for patients with chronic lung disease is also poorly addressed, adding to the burden of disease for women with chronic lung disease, carers and the health system. This project will estimate the prevalence of women with CF and COPD compared to healthy age matched controls and will evaluate the effect of a specific treatment and management program for these patients. The results will be disseminated to respiratory health professionals. We hypothesise that women with chronic cough will have a higher incidence of urinary incontinence than healthy controls and that a specific treatment program will result in alleviation of the problems and improved quality of life.
