Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the intraindividual variability of uroflowmetric measurement in women with normal lower urinary tract function.
DESIGN: Prospective study.
SETTING: Departure of obstetrics and gynecology University Hospital and Medical Faculty Ostrava.
METHODS: 35 women without lower urinary tract dysfunction were enrolled into the study. Every subject uderwent 3 uroflowmetric examinations. We processed all numeric results.
RESULTS: We assessed maximum and average urine flow rate - Qmax, Qave, voided volume - VV, corrected maximum urine flow and corrected average urine flow rate in every of 105 uroflowmetric´s measurements. We did not find any statistically significant difference for evaluation of intraindividual dispersion in studied parameters.
CONCLUSION: Intraindividual variability of uroflowmetric´s measurement in healthy female subjects is low. One uroflowmetric´s measurement is adequate for assessment of uroflowmetric´s parameters..
KEYWORDS: uroflowmetry, intraindividual variability, lower urinary tract.
