Fecal and urinary incontinence in older men with hip fracture: a geriatric syndrome with prognostic significance.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2026. 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
purposeHip fracture in older men is associated with disproportionately poor outcomes compared to women, yet the prevalence and prognostic significance of incontinence in this population remain understudied. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) in older men with hip fracture, evaluate their association with 1-year mortality, and identify factors linked to UI at post-fracture out-patient comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA).
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed data from 644 men aged ≥65 with first hip fracture (2007-2019) at Seinäjoki Central Hospital, Finland. Cox proportional hazards regression assessed associations of baseline UI (yes/no) and FI (yes/no) with 1-year mortality (n=549). Binary logistic regression identified baseline and CGA-derived factors associated with UI at 6-month post-fracture (n=331).
resultsMean age was 81,4±7,8. Pre-fracture, 45% of men had UI and 12% had FI. One-year mortality was 34%. In multivariable-adjusted Cox regression, FI independently predicted mortality (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.15-2.58), while UI did not. Other independent predictors included age, polypharmacy, non-independent mobility, poor nutritional status, and delayed urinary catheter removal. At CGA, 47% had UI. Cognitive disorder (OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.63-6.35) and non-independent mobility (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.58-5.97) were independently associated with UI, as were CGA deficits in cognition, function, and physical ability.
conclusionPre-fracture FI is independently associated with increased 1-year mortality in older men with hip fracture, while UI is closely linked to cognitive and functional decline, emphasizing the syndromic nature of incontinence in these patients. Incontinence assessment including both UI and FI may help identify patients at highest risk of adverse outcomes.
