The questionnaire shows positive reliability and validity when used for pediatric neurogenic bowel patients. The questionnaire differentiates between normal and neurogenic patients. Larger studies are necessary to conduct further validation.
Home manometry less than 20 cm water provides a reliable measurement of safe pressures. A bladder pressure/volume diary is feasible and can aid in monitoring pressures at home without the additional cost and morbidity of urodynamics. A bladder pressure/volume diary may be a useful tool to help identify patients who would benefit from urodynamic testing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
