Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: To determine the correlation between lower urinary tract symptoms and urodynamic findings in early pregnancy. SETTING: The termination clinic and gynaecology ward at King's College Hospital. DESIGN: Observational study. SUBJECTS: 47 women before termination of pregnancy at between 6 and 15 weeks. INTERVENTIONS: Women filled in symptom questionnaires and then had urodynamic investigations, consisting of uroflowmetry and subtracted provoked cystometry. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The occurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms and their association with urodynamic findings. RESULTS: Lower urinary tract symptoms were fairly common but there was poor correlation with the urodynamic findings. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that lower urinary tract symptomatology alone is insufficient to study lower urinary tract dysfunction in pregnancy.
