| Abstract |
A 42-year-old woman presented with urinary incontinence 9 years after the last of four vaginal deliveries. She had also had one Caesarean section. Immediately after the last delivery, she presented with haematuria, which resolved within a few hours, but the drain remained prophylactically for 7 days. Nine years later, she was referred to a specialist hospital. The patient presented with continuous urinary incontinence, and physical examination revealed a loss of urine from the vagina, the latter confirmed by a methylene blue test showing loss of urine from the uterine cervix. Other diagnostic techniques used were cystography, cystoscopy and uro-CT. Based on a literature review of the management options for such patients and the relevant clinical details of our patient, a decision was made to perform a total abdominal hysterectomy and fistula repair. Six months following surgery, the results were entirely satisfactory, with full urinary continence and significant improvement in the patient's quality of life. A discussion about controversial approaches to diagnosis and management is included. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 October 2017.
All research outputs
#15,740,207
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Urogynecology Journal & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
#1,665
of 2,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,111
of 415,447 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Urogynecology Journal & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
#27
of 40 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,900 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 415,447 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 40 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
