urgency
sudden and compelling desire to pass urine that is difficult to defer
Incontinence
‘the complaint of involuntary loss of urine’
stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
the complaint of involuntary leakage on effort or exertion or on sneezing or coughing
urgency urinary incontinence (UUI)
complaint of involuntary leakage accompanied by or immediately preceded by urgency (sudden and compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer)
OAB syndrome
‘urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology ( stones cancer metabolic)

preop UDS in SUI
Preoperative UDS in women with uncomplicated clinically demonstrable SUI does not improve outcome of surgery for SUI
No evidence that preoperative DO is associated with surgical failure of MUS in women
Preoperative DO may be associated with persistence of urgency post operatively
NICE indications for UDS 4
Urge predominant MUI or UI in which type unclear
Symptoms suggestive voiding dysfunction
Anterior or apical prolapse
History of previous surgery for SUI
24 hour and 1 hour pad test
1 hour pad test using a standardised exercise protocol and a diagnostic threshold of 1.4g shows good specificity but lower sensitivity for SUI and MUI
24 pad test with threshold of 4.4g is more reproducible but difficult to standardise with activity level
1 hour pad test protocol
drink 500mls fluid
within 15 mins series of standardised exercises lasting one hour
increase in pad weight 1 g or more diagnostic of UI
