“…The function of the pelvic floor muscles is not visualized directly, but indirectly by changes in the topography of the pelvic viscera during voluntary contraction compared to the situation at rest [Jeffcoate and Roberts, 1952;Hodgkinson, 1953;Olesen, 1982]. Application of the method in routine clinical evaluation of urinary incontinence has been debated, as the predictive values for diagnosing stress incontinence and the correlations between grade of incontinence and suspension defect are poor [Fischer-Rasmussen et al, 1986;Klarskov et al, 1988]. Further, intra-and interobserver variations of the test are very high [Fantl et al, 1981;Klarskov et al, 1988;Thind et al, 1991;Mouritsen et al, 1993].…”

HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS,...

“…Summit [19] and Fischer-Rasmussen [20] found a positive cough stress test to be the most predictive for diagnosing stress incontinence. We also considered it as a mean of assessing the severity of GSI by setting up group 2, but the values for pad tests in this group without 'positive' SUPP were not significantly different from those for group 3 patients with 'positive' SUPP.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the possibility of establishing a genuine stress urinary incontinence severity grading from the combination of historical clinical and urodynamic parameters. Four hundred and eighty-three patients underwent complete investigation, including a questionnaire, clinical evaluation and multichannel urodynamic testing. They were then divided into four groups on the basis of the presence of only a SUI history (group 1, n = 65); positive urine loss with a 'continent' stress urethral pressure profile (SUPP) (group 2, n = 61); positive urine loss with an 'incontinent' SUPP (group 3, n = 231); or no urine loss with an 'incontinent' SUPP (group 4, n = 126). Compared to group 1 the severity of incontinence was significantly greater in groups 2 and 3, and maximal urethral closure pressure and pressure transmission ratio were significantly reduced in groups 3 and 4. Otherwise, history, clinical and urodynamic parameters showed no significant differences between the four groups. It was concluded that a scoring severity can be established when considering all the parameters of a woman suffering from GSI.
