Brief Summary

In the last decade, several authors proposed ultrasound measurement of Bladder wall thickness (BWT) for the screening of the voiding dysfunction and of the detrusor overactivity (DO). The aims of the investigator prospective study were:

• to compare the ultrasonographic measurement of BWT in women with DO vs women with other urodynamic diagnosis in a very large population.
• to verify whether the BWT in women with DO can be different in the clinically or urodinamically different forms of DO.

Conditions

Detrusor Overactivity

Study Arms (1)

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

all women with urinary dysfunction

You may qualify if:

• All women referred to our Urogynecology Unit from January 2005 to December 2008 for symptoms of OAB, stress urinary incontinence or mixed incontinence and sottoposte a prove urodinamiche complete were included in this prospective study

You may not qualify if:

• The investigators excluded women with documented recurrent urinary tract infections
• Previous antimuscarinic treatment
• Previous pelvic surgery
• Neurological disease
• Vaginal prolapse \> I stage
• Symptoms or clinical and/or urodynamic signs of voiding dysfunction
• Patients included in other ongoing clinical trials during the same study period.
