  • Title: [A questionnaire with a new urge-score and stress-score for the evaluation of female urinary incontinence (author's transl)].
    Author: Gaudenz R.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1979 Sep; 39(9):784-92. PubMed ID: 510907.
    Abstract:
    A questionnaire with a new stress-score and urge-score is being presented, which is designed to differentiate with high statistical significancy between stress-urinary-incontinence (urethral-insufficiency with negative urethral closure pressure on sphincterometry) and urge-urinary incontinence (motor-urge-incontinence with uninhibited detrusor contractions on cystometry). With these scores we expect to facilitate the diagnostic screening, to indicate the way of therapy and to avoid unnecessary surgery for urinary incontinence in cases of motor-urge-incontinence (detrusor instability, unstable bladder), as long as a urodynamic examination is not feasible on every incontinent women.
