Clinical evaluation of incontinence severity is based on preservation of voiding, proportion of void/lost urine, absorbable device usage, level of physical efforts that causes urine loss and nocturnal incontinence. Following patients’ characteristics of patients were included in classification system: history of radical prostatectomy, history of pelvic radiation, surgery for prostatic obstruction, neurogenic or non-neurogenic bladder disorders, and urethral strictures and disorders. This MI-CRONS classification system uses five uppercase Latin letters as follows: Male Incontinence — Cancer, Radiation, Obstruction, Neurogenic, Stricture. The classification could be used for stress, urgency, and mixed UI forms.</p></div><div><h3>Results:</h3><p>The new MI-CRONS classification system was applied to 85 of 86 patients evaluated in this retrospective study. Patients were classified by MI-CRONS to estimate an inclusiveness and complicity of proposed classification only. One patient was not classified using the new MI-CRONS classification due to history of bladder exstrophy and augmentation cystoplasty. Most of the men studied had a stress form of urinary incontinence and the most common types were 2 (n = 18) and 3 (n = 17) after radical prostatectomy.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion:</h3><p>The MI-CRONS has demonstrated prompt potential for classifying male incontinence of any type. The classification is a simple tool to describe these patients and could be useful for daily practice and clinical trials. Although further multicenter studies are needed to evaluate the predictive value of this tool. A Delphi consensus would be proposed with international experts for the further development of MI-CRONS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100330,"journal":{"name":"Continence Reports","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100051"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S277297452400005X/pdfft?md5=f613bd39056ae9a946f9fec66a8028b7&pid=1-s2.0-S277297452400005X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140951939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
