“…Questionnaires are commonly used to measure patient satisfaction in medical settings. However, there are very few studies in the literature on patient satisfaction following urodynamic investiga-tions, [1][2][3]8,9 with none from Belgium, and no questionnaire that measures satisfaction with urodynamic consultation has been reported so far. Furthermore, measurement scales are specific to the country, the discipline, and the cultural environment.…”

Aims:To develop and validate a scale that is applicable in Belgium to investigate the aspects of female patients' satisfaction with urodynamic consultation, and to use it to measure the impact of a detailed explanatory leaflet on their satisfaction. Materials and Methods: Question items were obtained from a group consensus (Delphi process). Each item was scored on a five-point Likert scale. The satisfaction scale was administered to two groups of patients attending the clinics for urodynamics. One hundred twenty-nine patients were included in the study and randomized in two groups. One group (n = 60) received a detailed explanatory leaflet about urodynamic consultation and the other did not (n = 69). Responses were subjected to a reliability and principal component analysis (PCA) to achieve data reduction and analysis, and to assess the reliability of the new scale. Relevant items were retained to compare both interventions using regression analysis. Results: A 15-item scale was derived from the Delphi process. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a single factor solution with 11 meaningful items. No significant difference was noted in global scores of satisfaction between the two groups (P = 0.051). Conclusions: A short-form patient satisfaction scale with acceptable validity and reliability was developed and used to measure patient satisfaction with urodynamic consultation in this population of Belgian women. This study did not provide support for the effectiveness of explanatory leaflets in improving satisfaction.

“…During AUDS, the patients are not confined to a room and the bladder is filled in a more physiological way, and, therefore, this could help in reproducing patient's symptoms as they are not in a room where the bladder is getting filled with a fluid at a lower temperature with faster speed . Seung‐June et al showed that according to pretest and posttest patient experiences and perceptions that AUDS is a well‐tolerated examination, especially if there is a history of previous urodynamic tests.…”

Objectives To assess the additional value of ambulatory urodynamics (AUDS) monitoring in the management of patients with unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods A retrospective review of the urodynamic data at a tertiary referral center between January 2006 and December 2018. During this period 12,123 urodynamic studies were conducted; 430 patients were arranged to have AUDS monitoring because their symptoms were not reproduced with either standard or video urodynamics (UDS). Results A total of 391 patients were included, (360 females, 31 males). Symptoms were reproduced in 74% of cases. The most common AUDS finding was detrusor overactivity with or without incontinence, followed by urodynamic stress incontinence. In 75.7% of the patients, the additional information from AUDS resulted in a change to patient management. Conclusions Additional UDS findings were made in the majority of patients who underwent AUDS. This helped in setting a new treatment plan for the bothersome urinary findings. AUDS monitoring is a useful additional diagnostic tool and can help to guide patient management where symptoms are not explained by standard or video UDS.

“…Specifically, in 286 women surveyed, 42.3% were not worried about having the test again, 42.7% said they would reluctantly agree to have the test again, and only 15% stated they would refuse to have the test repeated [6] . Furthermore, patients' pre-test anxiety levels remain low on repeated ambulatory testing [13] .…”

Objective: To establish if patient anxiety pre-urodynamic investigation can be reduced by providing more information within the patient information sheet (PIS). Patients and Methods: Two prospective cohorts of consecutive patients (round 1, n = 98 and round 2, n = 94) were asked to complete a visual analogue scale (VAS) quantifying their anxiety prior to urodynamics (UDS) and again after UDS quantifying their anxiety of potentially repeating UDS. Patients in round 1 received the standard hospital PIS. Concurrently with round 1, a parallel group of patients (n = 95) completed a questionnaire regarding their experience of UDS and their post-UDS complications. This information was incorporated into a revised PIS used in round 2. Results: In both rounds, the VAS reduced post-UDS (Wilcoxon matched-pairs test p < 0.001). In females, pre-UDS VAS was significantly higher in round 2 than round 1 (Mann-Whitney U test p = 0.037). In males, pre-UDS VAS was lower in round 2 than round 1, but this difference was not statistically significant (Mann-Whitney U test p = 0.112). Post-UDS VAS was remarkably similar between round 1 and 2. Conclusions: Patients are less anxious about having repeat UDS regardless of the depth of information provided. However, more detailed information before UDS failed to significantly reduce patient anxiety.
