  • Title: The role of urodynamics in evaluating incontinent females.
    Author: Phua SM, Low JJ, Chew SY.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1992 Apr; 33(2):139-42. PubMed ID: 1621116.
    Abstract:
    A total of 84 patients had urodynamic evaluations. Twenty-two patients complained of stress incontinence, 41 patients complained of stress incontinence with other urinary symptoms and 21 complained of other urinary symptoms but not stress incontinence. Of those complaining of stress incontinence alone, 4 (18.2%) had detrussor instability, 11 (50%) had genuine stress incontinence and 7 (31%) had neither condition. Of those complaining of stress incontinence with other symptoms, 16 (39%) had detrussor instability, 19 (46.3%) had stress incontinence and 6 (14.6%) had neither condition. Of those complaining of other urinary symptoms except stress incontinence, 5 (23.8%) had detrussor instability, 3 (14.3%) had stress incontinence and 13 (61.9%) had neither condition. Urinary symptoms were found to have little correlation with the final diagnosis except for enuresis which was associated with detrussor instability.
