[Intraindividual variability of uroflowmetry in women]
Objective:
The objective of this study was to determine the intraindividual variability of uroflowmetric measurement in women with normal lower urinary tract function.
Design:
Prospective study.
Setting:
Departure of obstetrics and gynecology University Hospital and Medical Faculty Ostrava.
Methods:
35 women without lower urinary tract dysfunction were enrolled into the study. Every subject uderwent 3 uroflowmetric examinations. We processed all numeric results.
Results:
We assessed maximum and average urine flow rate - Qmax, Qave, voided volume - VV, corrected maximum urine flow and corrected average urine flow rate in every of 105 uroflowmetric´s measurements. We did not find any statistically significant difference for evaluation of intraindividual dispersion in studied parameters.
Conclusion:
Intraindividual variability of uroflowmetric´s measurement in healthy female subjects is low. One uroflowmetric´s measurement is adequate for assessment of uroflowmetric´s parameters..
Keywords:
uroflowmetry, intraindividual variability, lower urinary tract.
