Fecal incontinence in palliative care settings #424

Article indépendant

HABIB, Muhammad Hamza | ARNOLD, Robert M.

Fecal incontinence (FI) is the loss of control on bowel function resulting in involuntary loss of solid or liquid feces. It is common among patients with serious illness, afflicting 40%–50% of home hospice patients and nursing home residents. FI has been linked to social distress, isolation, embarrassment, caregiver distress, health care costs, and reductions in quality of life (QOL). It may even correlate with a worse prognosis in older populations. This Fast Fact assimilates the published evidence on FI to describe risk factors and management options for patients with serious illness.
