dc.description.abstract | Background: Preoperative urodynamic testing is recommended by experts, but evidence for clinical benefit is limited. Aims: To determine whether urodynamic stress incontinence could be confirmed in women presenting with a history of stress incontinence. Methods: History and urodynamic diagnoses of 444 women presenting to a general unit between June 2003 and July 2007 are described. Results: Urodynamic Stress Incontinence (USI) or mixed USI and detrusor overactivity were observed in 61% reporting any stress incontinence. 15% who reported no stress incontinence had USI. Compared with a normal urodynamic diagnosis, incontinence occurred more frequently in all other diagnostic categories (P < 0.0001) and was worst in the USI and mixed groups (P < 0.0004). Conclusions: Urodynamic Stress Incontinence is a more severe entity than stress incontinence diagnosed by history. It is yet to be established if this information benefits patients. | - |
