“…There is limited evidence in the literature on how AUDS impacts on medical practice management. There are also a few standardization reports of how this test should be performed and interpreted . This study reflects how AUDS could be performed and how it contributes to additional information when a decision is being made in the treatment of LUTS.…”

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.

“…However, although morbidities such as urinary tract infection and urinary symptoms after conventional urodynamic studies6,7 and AUM8 have been studied, no report exists in the literature to date concerning the emotional aspects of urodynamic studies. In the present study, we attempted to obtain detailed data enabling the quantitative evaluation of a patient's experience with conventional urodynamic studies and AUM using a questionnaire including a VAS.…”

“…In contrast to conventional urodynamic studies, AUM allows the patient to be more independent than is possible with a fixed urodynamic apparatus. Therefore, this method allows the patient to perform those activities that he or she knows will reproduce the troublesome urinary symptoms 6. Moreover, bladder filling occurs in a natural way and is not artificially influenced.…”

We assessed several emotional variables in patients experiencing conventional urodynamic and ambulatory urodynamic monitoring (AUM) to verify the hypothesis that AUM is tolerated as well as conventional urodynamics. A total of 33 women and 7 men from 23 to 72 years of age who were undergoing both procedures were prospectively included in this study. Prior to and immediately after the procedures, each patient completed a self-administered questionnaire. Answers were given on a visual analogue scale. The degree of anxiety was higher for conventional urodynamics than for AUM (p = 0.045), while the degree of boredom experienced during AUM was higher than that during conventional urodynamics (p = 0.013). There was no significant difference in the degree of shame or bother experienced by the patients during the two procedures. In general, patients tolerated both examinations extremely well. The examiner-rated degree of intolerance during conventional urodynamics was influenced by the subjective pain score (p = 0.001), while all other emotional variables except bother were not significantly related with the degree of intolerance during AUM (p = 0.007). A total of 74.4% and 84.6% responded that they were willing to repeat conventional urodynamics and AUM, respectively, which were not significantly different. Although AUM produced a significantly higher level of boredom than conventional urodynamics, our data demonstrates that patients are as tolerant of AUM as they are of conventional urodynamic procedures.

“…A limitation of our study is its short duration (the average durations were 88 and 94 min for our first and second studies). The ICS specifications for AM9 do not establish a minimum time of measurements, only indicating the necessity of stating the estimated duration of the study (planned duration of recording).…”

“…The patients underwent two AM studies 24 hr apart. Both studies were performed in accordance with the specifications of the International Continence Society (ICS)9 and the recommendations of good urodynamic practice 10. The study was performed during a single micturition cycle.…”
