Normative noninvasive bladder function measurements in healthy women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To conduct an evidence synthesis of normative reference values for bladder function parameters in women.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting bladder function parameters obtained from noninvasive tests in healthy women. Seven databases were searched for relevant studies from inception through December 2018, with manual searching of reference lists. We included English language articles that provided quantitative data on urination frequency, voided and postvoid residual volumes, and uroflowmetry results in women without lower urinary tract symptoms. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were undertaken by at least two independent reviewers. Random-effects meta-analytic models were used to derive study-level poo
