Patel earns 2024 Urogynecology Top Cited Article Award

Congratulations to Ushma Patel, MD, Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery fellow! Patel was the lead author on the study "Updated Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence in Women: 2015–2018 National Population-Based Survey Data", published in Urogynecology in 2022. The study received the 2024 Urogynecology Top Cited Article Award!

In the study, Patel and co-authors (including Dobie Giles, MD, MS, MBA and Amy Godecker, PhD) found that more than 60% of adult women in the U.S. experience urinary incontinence, a big increase over past estimates. The study analyzed data collected by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
