BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the relative frequency of abnormal urodynamic findings in new multiple sclerosis (MS) cases without micturition complaints and to find its correlation with the number of MS plaques on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), urinary tract involvement and the number of disease episodes. METHODS In this prospective study, 50 new female case of multiple ...

conclusions patients made various complaints, and several pathologies were diagnosed, which emphasizes the importance of using urodynamic tests for subsequent medical approaches as a non-invasive, accessible, and inexpensive tool. results the mean age of patients in this study was 50.88 years, and most patients were in their third decade (20 - 30 years of age). urinary frequency (28.8%), enures...

Aim: To determine risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) after urodynamic examination by evaluating patients' clinical characteristics and urodynamic parameters. Methods: Two hundred and sixty-one female patients (mean age 58.7±12.3 yrs) from May to December 2011 visited tertiary care hospital who had lower urinary tract symptoms or needed definite diagnosis before pelvic floor reconstr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the urodynamic changes immediately after the first session (acute effect) and after the last session of parasacral TENS in children with idiopathic OAB. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed urodynamic evaluation immediately before and after the first session of parasacral TENS and immediately after the last session (7 weeks later). Only children with idiopathic isolated OA...

Purpose: Children with no obvious anatomic or neurological abnormalities who present with various urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency, incontinence or urinary tract infection (UTI) are often diagnosed as having dysfunctional voiding. However, it is likely that dysfunction voiding represents a spectrum of abnormalities with different etiologies. The purpose of this study is to correlate ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between early treatment and urodynamic improvement in pediatric and adolescent patients with neurogenic bladder. METHODOLOGY Retrospective longitudinal and observational study (between 1990 and 2013) including patients with neurogenic bladder and myelomeningocele treated based on urodynamic results. The authors evaluated the urodynamic follow-up (bladder ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the quality of life in women with urinary incontinence (categorised by urodynamic findings). DESIGN Prospective cohort study on patients. SETTING Urogynaecology unit of a university teaching hospital in Hong Kong. PATIENTS. Female patients presenting to our clinic from July 2008 to December 2009 and having their urinary incontinence categorised by urodynamic study. ...

Maximum bladder volume could be a simple surrogate measure to screen for detrusor overactivity (DO) which manifests with a frequency and small volume voids. Urodynamic traces from 577 women were reviewed. Maximum bladder volume was obtained from bladder diary. The urodynamic traces were reviewed for data and were categorised as normal, urodynamic stress incontinence, mixed incontinence and DO. ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the value of ambulatory urodynamic monitoring in the assessment of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study including patients who underwent both conventional urodynamic and ambulatory urodynamic assessment at our Center between December 2002 and February 2013. The ambulatory urodynamic studies were interpreted in a standardi...

PURPOSE Urodynamic studies are commonly performed as part of the preoperative work-up of patients undergoing surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We aimed to assess the extent to which these urodynamic parameters influence patient selection and postoperative outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients presenting with SUI were randomly assigned to two groups: one undergoing office evalu...
