Quantifying female incontinence with particular reference to the Urilos System.
An assessment of the Urilos System for quantifying urinary incontinence is presented. There was approximate reproducibility of urine loss measurements between nappies in the same pack but under- and over-recordings of up to 25 and 23%, respectively, were observed; when packs of nappies were compared there were differences of up to 68%. Thus, the Urilos System is not, as yet, sufficiently reliable for quantifying incontinence. Other methods of measuring incontinence objectively are discussed and the use of the daily bladder chart is commended.
