Urodynamic characteristics of detrusor underactivity in women with voiding dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and hypothesis

Voiding dysfunction has gained interest due to its high prevalence in the elderly. This study characterized bladder dysfunction in women with voiding dysfunction using video urodynamic studies (VUDS) focused on detrusor underactivity (DU).

Methods

We studied 1914 women in which first-line medical treatment failed. Age, comorbidities, and urodynamic parameters were analyzed to determine the association between bladder sensation and contractility.

Results

VUDS were normal in 2.9% (n = 56) of patients and showed DU in 23.1% (n = 443), detrusor hyperactivity and impaired contractility (DHIC) in 12.0% (n = 231), hypersensitive bladder in 17.0% (n = 325), detrusor overactivity (DO) in 2.6% (n = 49) and bladder outlet obstruction in 42.3% (n = 810
