Materials and methods: A retrospective multicenter observational study was performed reviewing the medical records of 430 men who underwent RP due to organ-confined prostate cancer in 9 different hospitals. Two study groups were distinguished: Group A (GA): Patients without urinary incontinence after RP; Group B (GB): patients with any degree of post-surgical urinary incontinence. Results: Average age at surgery was 63.42 years (range 45-73). 258 patients were continent after surgery and 172 patients complaint of any degree of incontinence after RP. A higher percentage of healthy patients was found in group A (continent after surgery) than in group B (p = 0.001). The most common SDg prior to surgery were hypertension, lower urinary tract symptoms, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus and erectile dysfunction, but none did show a greater trend towards post-surgical incontinence. Conclusions: A better health status prior to surgery is associated to a lower incidence of new-onset urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. However, no correlation was found between the most common medical disorders and the development of post-surgical urinary incontinence.}, number={1}, journal={Archivio Italiano di Urologia e Andrologia}, author={Padilla-Fernández, Bárbara and Virseda-Rodríguez, Álvaro Julio and Valverde-Martínez, Lauro Sebastián and Pereira, Bruno Jorge and Coelho, Hugo and Santos-Antunes, Maria Tatiana and Montesino-Semper, Manuel and Müller-Arteaga, Carlos and Álvarez-Ossorio-Fernández, José Luis and Migliorini, Filippo and Lorenzo-Gómez, Ana and García-Cenador, María Begoña and Antúnez-Plaza, Patricia and Silva-Abuín, Juan Miguel and Lorenzo-Gómez, María Fernanda}, year={2017}, month={Mar.}, pages={34–38} }
