title: Correlation between history and urodynamics in neurologically normal incontinent women.
abstract: We compared the history of 100 consecutive women complaining of incontinence with their urodynamic findings. The real urodynamic situation proved unpredictable on the basis of the medical history. A good correlation between history and urodynamics was found in 80% of the women complaining of stress incontinence. The importance of a uroflowmetry to screen voiding difficulties in all patients is demonstrated. To get to a proper diagnosis in most women complaining of incontinence, technical urodynamic investigation seems mandatory.
