Urodynamic Characterisation of Women with Naive Urinary Incontinence: A Population-Based Study in Subjectively Incontinent and Healthy 53–63 Years Old Women

The Effect of Age on Lower Urinary Tract Function: A Study in Women

“…Nevertheless, the baseline characteristics for each age group reflect the typical, cognitively intact, functionally independent, American female, with a body mass index of about 27, a typical age-related creatinine clearance, and typical numbers of pregnancies in each age group. Furthermore, the values of the urodynamic and bladder function parameters (PVR, maximum flow rate, MUCP, functional urethral length, detrusor pressure at maximum flow, cystometric bladder capacity, and micturition frequency) are consistent with previously published results from Great Britain, 13,28 Austria, 2 Denmark, 29,30 Belgium, 31,32 Sweden, 33 and Japan. 4 There were significant differences between the groups in mean numbers of pregnancies and vaginal deliveries, but inclusion of these variables had no effect on the interpretation of the regression models.…”

Risk factors for stress urinary incontinence recurrence after single‐incision sling

“…Authors concluded that in women with SUI lower detrusor pressures may be related to reduced urethral resistance. More recently, Teleman et al found a trend in lower detrusor opening pressure and detrusor pressure at maximum flow in incontinent women compared to controls. Authors conclude that in these women there is a more efficient urethral opening mechanism and/or a lower urethral resistance.…”

Risk factors for stress urinary incontinence after native‐tissue vaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse

“…These authors concluded that the urethral opening mechanism in women with incontinence is more efficient and/or the urethral resistance is diminished. This could be explained by weakness of the urethral connective tissue, which could lead to passive opening of the bladder neck during straining . This mechanism could also contribute to the development of POSUI.…”
