Adverse Social Determinants of Health and Urinary Incontinence Among Older Adult Women in Home Health Care.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo leverage secondary data extracted using a natural language processing algorithm to examine relationships between adverse social determinants of health and urinary incontinence (UI) among older adult women in home health care.
designCross-sectional study. SETTING AND
participantsWe analyzed home health care episode data from 2015 to 2017 for women ≥65 years old with UI identified based on federally mandated assessments.
methodsAdverse social determinants of health were identified a priori (food insecurity; low education/literacy; problems with the social environment, physical environment, economic circumstances, and health care access) and extracted from clinical notes using natural language processing. We used multivariable logistic regression models to estimate the relationship of adverse social determinants of health with UI.
resultsIn total, 51,422 home health care episodes reflecting 38,311 patients (mean age 82 years) were included. Episodes with documentation about each adverse social determinant of health had significantly higher odds of UI compared with those without such documentation, notably problems with physical environment [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.38, 95% CI 1.31-1.45], problems with economic circumstances (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.28-1.47), and food insecurity (aOR 1.22, 95% CI 1.10-1.35). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Adverse social determinants of health, including problems with the physical and social environment, economic circumstances, health care access, low education/literacy, and food insecurity, were each associated with increased odds of UI. These factors may be key targets for interventions aimed at reducing disparities and improving UI and related outcomes for older adult women.
