Objective To study the incidence, natural history and ated with bacteriuria after urodynamic studies (P= 0.05). Menopausal status, past history of urinary tract symptomatic eCects of bacteriuria after urodynamic studies in women.infection, number of urethral instrumentations required, order number in a session, peak urinary flow Patients and methods In a prospective study in the urogynaecology clinic of a large District General rate and urodynamic diagnosis were not associated variables. Hospital, 214 women (mean age 52.3 years, range 23-81) underwent urodynamic studies. BacteriuriaConclusions In a large series of women presenting to a urogynaecology clinic, urodynamic investigations was detected by semiquantitative culture at 2 and 7 days after the test. Women completed a 7-day diary were associated with a high incidence of transient irritative symptoms but a low incidence of bacteriuria of symptoms and events. Results The incidence of bacteriuria after urodynamic (8%). Infection was asymptomatic in most patients, but its natural history was unpredictable. Transient, studies was 7.9%. Bacteriuria was transient in four of 17 women but persisted in nine and developed late in persistent and late cases of bacteriuria all occurred. In this population, urodynamic studies are associated four; only one of 17 infections gave rise to symptoms. Irritative bladder symptoms after the test occurred in with a low level of morbidity.
