This report focuses on the most common urodynamics examinations; uroflowmetry, pressure recording during filling cystometry, and combined pressure–flow studies.Abstract:
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

Repeated injections of botulinum toxin-A for idiopathic detrusor overactivity.
TL;DR: BTX-A appears to be effective and safe after repeated administration in patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity and certain patients will benefit from dose optimization to improve efficacy or prevent voiding dysfunction.

Botulinum Toxin-A Injections Into Neurogenic Overactive Bladder—To Include or Exclude the Trigone? A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial
TL;DR: In the short term all parameters improved significantly in each arm and the superiority of including rather than excluding the trigone was significant.

Risk factors for failure of retropubic and transobturator midurethral slings
R. Marijn Houwert,Pieter L. Venema,Annelies E. Aquarius,Hein W. Bruinse,Jan-Paul Roovers,Harry A.M. Vervest +5 more
TL;DR: Women with previous incontinence surgery or a low MUCP might benefit more from a retropubic sling, whereas a transobturator procedure might be preferable in women with MUI or DO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of the stress incontinence surgical treatment efficacy trial (SISTEr)
TL;DR: This is the first large, multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing these two standard-of-care procedures for stress incontinence and an evaluation of the prognostic value of preoperative urodynamic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between the ICIQ-SF score and urodynamic findings.
TL;DR: IC IQ-SF scoring is a practical and reliable method for baseline and post-treatment evaluation of patients with urge incontinence and significant correlation exists between ICIQ-SF score and urodynamic parameters.

Standardization of terminology of lower urinary tract function: pressure-flow studies of voiding, urethral resistance, and urethral obstruction
Derek Griffiths,Klaus Höfner,Ron van Mastrigt,Harm J. Rollema,Anders Spångberg,Donald M. Gleason +5 more
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.
