Abstract: | The aim of this study was to identify factors in patients with symptoms of urgency/frequency or urge incontinence that predict
that the postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) will be elevated. A restrospective chart review was carried out of all patients
new to our urogynecology practice between June 1998 and May 1999, with symptoms of urgency, frequency and/or urge incontinence.
Demographic variables, symptoms and physical findings were correlated with the presence of an elevated PVR (>100 ml) using
logistic regression analysis. An elevated PVR was found in 10% (33/336) of patients with urge incontinence (UI), and in 5%
(3/57) of patients with urgency/frequency without UI. In patients with UI the presence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) ≥stage
II, symptoms of voiding difficulty and the absence of the symptom of stress incontinence, predicted 82% of patients with an
elevated PVR. |
