The comparison of urodynamic findings ?n women with various types of urinary ?ncontinence

Abstract

ARTICLE INFO ______________________________________________________________ ______________________Purpose: We aimed to determine the differences of the urodynamic findings of mix urinary incontinence (MUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and to evaluate the urodynamic findings in different groups by using bladder sensitivity index (BSI). Materials and Methods:The data of 99 patients who underwent urodynamic testing related to the suspicion of SUI, UUI or MUI were analysed. This analysis included a retrospective evaluation of patients' cards, voiding diaries, and urodynamic reports. At filling cystometry, the parameters of first sensation of bladder filling (FSBF), first desire to void (FDV), strong desire to void (SDV), and bladder capacity (V max ), which were related to the bladder sensation, were determined. Subsequently, uroflowmetric findings were recorded during bladder emptying. BSI was defined as the ratio of V max / FDV. These results were statistically compared among the goups. Results:The sample included 35(35.5%) MUI, 33(33.3%) UUI and 31 (31.1%) SUI. The mean ages were similar in all groups (P = 0.868). The mean FSBF, FDV, SDV and Vmax values were significantly different among groups (p = 0.004, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001 respectively). Nevertheless, there was no statistically significant difference among the mean daily voiding accounts (P = 0.005). Although the mean maximum flow rate (Q max ) values were similar (P = 0.428), the mean maximum detrusor pressure (Pdet max ) values were significantly different (P = 0.021). The mean BSI values showed no significant differences (P = 0.097).Conclusions: It was concluded that while the use of urodynamic testing could contribute to the management of urinary incontinence, the indexes including BSI requere more detailed and comprehensive studies.

Comparative Study Between Bladder Diary and Urodynamic Study to Identify Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

“…Normal bladder filling sensation or sensation is defined by the ICS when the person is aware of the filling of the bladder and the increase of sensation, until the strong urge to urinate 9 . The UDS is the standard technique for assessing bladder sensation 23 , but the BD has shown good reliability for assessing this data 24 , since the UDS does not reproduce the behavior of the bladder during daily life, as bladder filling is a continuous and increasing perception 25 .…”

Estudo Comparativo Entre Diário Vesical E Estudo Urodinâmico Para Identificação De Sintomas Do Trato Urinário Inferior

“…A sensibilidade ou sensação normal de enchimento da bexiga é definida pela ICS quando a pessoa tem a ciência do enchimento da bexiga e do aumento da sensação, até o forte desejo de urinar 9 . O EU é a técnica padrão para avaliar a sensação da bexiga 23 , porém o DV vem demonstrando boa confiabilidade para avaliar esse dado 24 , uma vez que o EU não reproduz o comportamento da bexiga durante a vida diária, dado que o enchimento da bexiga é uma percepção contínua e crescente 25 Além do desconforto e dos custos, a dor e a ansiedade com a realização do EU também apareceram em um estudo conduzido na Turquia, no qual os pesquisadores avaliaram os efeitos da musicoterapia na redução dessas variáveis durante o exame. A redução da dor e da ansiedade não foi estatisticamente significativa, porém o uso da musicoterapia aumentou a disposição dos pacientes em realizar o procedimento novamente, caso houvesse a necessidade 10 .…”
