The standardization of terminology of female pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor dysfunction

Introduction and hypothesis Next to existing terminology of the lower urinary tract, due to its increasing complexity, the terminology for pelvic floor dysfunction in women may be better updated by a female-specific approach and clinically based consensus report. Methods This report combines the input of members of the Standardization and Terminology Committees of two Inter

Hypothesis / aims of study During urodynamics testing, the quality of transmission of pressure is tested by the patient coughing regularly [1]. The high frequency of this pressure signal acts as a test, both for the presence of air bubbles and equal pressure response from intravesical and abdominal pressure sensors. The most quoted reference for what constitutes as acceptable quality for pressure transmission states that the lower signal needs to be greater than 70% of the higher signal [2]. However, this value of 70% was empirically derived. This study aimed to assess whether this figure is justified for use in urodynamics quality control.

The assessment of pressure transmission.

Dear Professor Chapple, Did you notice that Paul Abrams, for his letter answering Jerry Blaivas, did not report any conflict of interest over the preceding 2 years? How seriously do you take the need to declare COI? Have you investigated whether Paul has infringed your COI reporting guidelines? If he has in fact infringed the guidelines, what sanctions do you intend to apply? And finally: Where do you report your COI as the EIC? Should it be under each of your Editorials, as it given under each letter to the Editor or full paper?

Long term clinical experience with coaptite TM urological bulking agent

Hypothesis / aims of study Analysis of a large patient database has shown that signs and symptoms can be used to distinguish men and women patients with detrusor underactivity (DU) from patients with normal pressure flow studies (PFS), and further distinguish between DU and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) [1]. That analysis, however, excluded patients with detrusor overactivity (DO), yet in a normal clinic, patients can present with both DU and DO. This combination has been termed detrusor hyperactivity with impaired contractility (DHIC) [2]. We have run additional analyses to determine what difference the inclusion of DO makes to the signs and symptoms, and to determine the prevalence of both conditions in the database analysed.

What is the additional burden for patients with detrusor underactivity when they also have detrusor overactivity

Dieses Kapitel soll dem Kliniker zeigen, inwieweit die urodynamischen Untersuchungen in der Lage sind, zur Verbesserung von Diagnose und Therapie beizutragen. Dies ist prinzipiell auf 4 verschiedenen Wegen moglich: 

1.

Im individuellen Fall kann die urodynamische Untersuchung im Rahmen der klini-schen Abklarung dazu dienen, objektive Kriterien zur Grundlage einer therapeutischen Entscheidung zu machen.




2.

Durch Analyse bestimmter Patientengruppen konnen im Laufe der Zeit nicht nur Fortschritte im Verstandnis der Pathophysiologie verschiedenster Erkrankungen erzielt werden, sondern auch in der Patientenselektion fur die unterschiedlichen therapeutischen Modalitaten.




3.

Behandlungsergebnisse lassen sich durch urodynamische Untersuchungen vor und nach Therapie objektivieren.




4.

Urodynamische Untersuchungen dienen letztlich der kontinuierlichen klinischen Forschung.
