Brief Summary

Urethral hypermobility, which can be assessed with Q-tip test, has been considered to be partly responsible for pathogenesis of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Nonetheless, Q-tip test has lost favor due to patient discomfort. Thus, the purpose of this study was to search a surrogate for assessment of urethral hypermobility by correlating the Q-tip angle and the urodynamic variables in women with SUI.

Conditions

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Correlations of Q-tip angle with pressure transmission ratio

  Correlations of Q-tip angle with pressure transmission ratio at maximum urethral pressure during stress urethral pressure profile testing

  Between 2014 and 2020

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Correlations of Q-tip angle with the other parameters of urodynamic studies

  Between 2014 and 2020

• Correlations of Q-tip angle with pad weight

  Between 2014 and 2020

• Correlations of Q-tip angle with symptoms

  Between 2014 and 2020

Interventions

Q-tip test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A Q-Tip lubricated with anesthetic gel is inserted into the urethra, woman is then asked to cough and strain, and the angle of the Q-tip rotates is recorded.
