Summary: The objectives of this study were to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different types of absorbent product for people with incontinence. Design: A systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials was performed to compare different types of absorbent products for the containment of urinary and/or fecal incontinence in adults. Conclusions: The data were too few and of insufficient quality to provide a firm basis for practice. However, the data suggest that disposable products are more costly but more effective than nondisposable products in decreasing the incidence of skin problems and that superabsorbent products perform better than fluff pulp products.
