Correlation between history and urodynamics in neurologically normal incontinent women

We compared the history of 100 consecutive women complaining of incontinence with their urodynamic findings. The real urodynamic situation proved unpredictable on the basis of the medical history. A good correlation between history and urodynamics was found in 80% of the women complaining of stress incontinence. The importance of a uroflowmetry to screen voiding difficulties in all patients is demonstrated. To get to a proper diagnosis in most women complaining of incontinence, technical urodynamic investigation seems mandatory.
