This is the first report of the International Continence Society (ICS) on the development of comprehensive guidelines for Good Urodynamic Practice for the measurement, quality control, and documentation of urodynamic investigations in both clinical and research environments. This report focuses on the most common urodynamics examinations; uroflowmetry, pressure recording during filling cystometry, and combined pressure-flow studies. The basic aspects of good urodynamic practice are discussed and a strategy for urodynamic measurement, equipment set-up and configuration, signal testing, plausibility controls, pattern recognition, and artifact correction are proposed. The problems of data analysis are mentioned only when they are relevant in the judgment of data quality. In general, recommendations are made for one specific technique. This does not imply that this technique is the only one possible. Rather, it means that this technique is well-established, and gives good results when used with the suggested standards of good urodynamic practice.read more

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: This report contains a recommendation for a provisional standard method for defining obstruction on the basis of pressure-flow data and more detailed analyses of Pressure-flow relationships, described below, are advisable to aid diagnosis and to quantify data for research studies.

TL;DR: This report recommends standards for measure-ment methodology to facilitate communication betweeninvestigators and to improve the quality of clinical practice and research and suggests that the urethral pressure is similarto an ordinary £uid pressure, i.e., is a scalar quantity with a single value at each point along the length of the Urethra.
