An assessment of the Urilos System for quantifying urinary incontinence is presented. There was approximate reproducibility of urine loss measurements between nappies in the same pack but under- and over-recordings of up to 25 and 23%, respectively, were observed; when packs of nappies were compared there were differences of up to 68%. Thus, the Urilos System is not, as yet, sufficiently reliable for quantifying incontinence. Other methods of measuring incontinence objectively are discussed and the use of the daily bladder chart is commended.
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.
