“…In our study, both women with and without SIBE noted equally high degrees of bother from storage and incontinence symptoms with lower bother from voiding symptoms, but similar bother scores overall. This is in line with previous data that have demonstrated that objective voiding dysfunction may have less of an impact on quality of life than OAB symptoms in women 13 . Similarly, urinary incontinence is associated with a high degree of bother and impact on quality of life 14–16 …”

Introduction/Background: Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying (SIBE) has been shown to be correlated with an elevated post-void residual (PVR) in men, however, the significance of this symptom and whether it correlates with an elevated PVR in women is less clear. In this study, we assessed if SIBE in women is correlated with an elevated PVR and determined the relationship of SIBE to other lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods/Materials: Women ages ≥18 with lower urinary tract symptoms were eligible. SIBE was defined by a response "sometimes", "most of the time", or "all of the time" to the question "How often do you feel that your bladder has not emptied properly after you have urinated?" on the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire. Frequency and bother of other lower urinary tract symptoms were also assessed to compare their relationship to SIBE. Elevated PVR was defined as ≥100 ml via ultrasound. Results: We prospectively evaluated 95 women, 59% of whom reported SIBE.Compared to women without SIBE, women with SIBE reported more urinary hesitancy (51% vs. 18%, p = 0.002), intermittency (56% vs. 16%, p < 0.001), weak stream (36% vs. 5%, p < 0.001), dysuria (29% vs. 5%, p = 0.004), and straining (25% vs 5%, p = 0.013). However, there was no difference in elevated PVRs between women with and without SIBE [5/56, 9% vs. 4/39, 10%, (p = 0.99)]. All women, regardless of SIBE, reported higher bother from storage and incontinence symptoms versus voiding symptoms with no difference in overall bother scores.Conclusion: SIBE is a common complaint in women with lower urinary tract symptoms. While women with SIBE reported more voiding symptoms, they were more bothered by storage symptoms. Importantly, most of these women emptied their bladder well and were not more likely to have an elevated PVR than women without SIBE.

Abstract: There is no evidence of an association between increasing quality of life impairment and voiding parameters in this cohort.
