“…The design of OPT as described by ICS has, however, recently been questioned. Although Klarskov and Hald [15] claimed good reproducibility, the importance of a standardized urinary load has been stressed by several authors [20][21][22], When this study was planned, however, the OPT recommended by ICS was the test of choice.…”

Thirty-three women with urinary stress incontinence were treated with the Α-adrenoceptor-stimulating agent, norfenefrine (Nevadral Retard). Treatment was administered during 3–24 weeks at a daily dosage of 90 mg. Judged by a 1-hour pad weighing test, a significant effect could be demonstrated. With the exception of 1 case of allergic reaction and 1 case of recurrent vomiting, a simultaneously performed tolerability test revealed only minor side effects.

“…We have used the 1-h pad test as recommended by the International Continence Society [17]. However, a number of studies have reported poor reproducibility for the 1-and 24-h pad test [24][25][26][27]. In a study by Simons et al, the test-retest reliability of the 1-h pad test was shown to be inadequate, with the first and second tests differing by −44 to +66 g, despite the women having similar bladder volumes [27].…”

Effects of Macroplastique® Implantation System for stress urinary incontinence and urethral hypermobility in women

A study was carried out to evaluate efficacy of Macroplastique® (MPQ) Implantation System (MIS) in women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urethral hypermobility after an unsuccessful conservative treatment. This is a prospective randomized controlled trial in women without previous incontinence surgery. Twenty-four women received MPQ. Twenty-one controls underwent a pelvic floor muscle exercises home program. Follow-up was at 3 months and the MPQ group also at 12 months. At 3 months, pad usage decreased significantly more in the MPQ group than in the control group (p= 0.015). According to physician and patient self-assessment, respectively, 71% and 63% women in the MPQ group were considered cured or markedly improved. This was significantly higher compared to controls. There was a significant higher increase of Incontinence Quality-of-Life questionnaire score in the MPQ group compared to controls (p= 0.017). Improvements in MPQ group at 3 months are sustained to 12 months. Adverse events were mild and transient. MIS is an acceptable option for women with SUI and urethral hypermobility.

“…Several investigators have questioned the reproducibility of the ICS test and have also reported false negative results of 15±38% [Versi and Cardozo, 1986;Lose et al, 1986Lose et al, , 1988Christensen et al, 1986;Mouritsen et al, 1989;Thind and Gerstenberg, 1991]. It has even been claimed that the ICS test is not suited for scienti®c purposes and modi®cations have been suggested [Lose et al, 1986]. For example, Lose et al [1988] ®lled the bladder with a standardized volume of water to increase the reproducibility of the test.…”

We assessed the reproducibility and feasibility of a rapid perineal pad-test designed for evaluation of stress urinary incontinence treatment. In an experimental study, we included 34 women with genuine stress incontinence, 13 with urge incontinence and 10 non-incontinent volunteers for a repeated pad-test with a standardized bladder volume (300 mL) and a standardized physical activity during one minute. The pad was weighed before and after the exercise to estimate the volume of any leaked urine. In order to find out the percentage of unselected, incontinent women who had been able to perform a preoperative pad-test, we identified all 120 women operated on for stress incontinence during a one-year period in a separate retrospective analysis. In another retrospective analysis, we compared the subjective outcome of laparoscopic colposuspension with the outcome of the test performed before and after the procedure among 93 women with genuine stress incontinence. Among stress incontinent women, the median of the differences in leakage between the first and the second test was 8.5 mL (range 0-60 mL) and the repeatability coefficient was 33.6 mL. None of the 13 women with urge incontinence leaked during the tests. One of the 10 controls leaked (during both tests). Of the unselected women, 104/120 (87%) were able to perform the test. Reduction of leaking after surgery was significantly associated with subjective report of outcome (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, the described pad-test has an acceptable reproducibility and feasibility making it suitable for follow-up studies.
