Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of ambulatory urodynamic monitoring compared with conventional urodynamic studies for the detection of exercise-induced urinary incontinence in the female soldier. Fifty active duty female soldiers with exercise-induced urinary incontinence and 10 asymptomatic control soldiers underwent conventional multichannel cystometry and then ambulatory monitoring during work or exercise. Ambulatory monitoring detected a greater number of abnormalities than conventional multichannel urodynamic studies in exercise-induced urinary incontinence. This greater sensitivity is valuable in formulating more effective treatment. Behavioral interventions were effective in treating exercise-induced urinary incontinence in this population. Test results normalized after behavioral intervention. It is neither cost-effective nor efficacious to require sophisticated urodynamic testing before instituting behavioral interventions.
