Overview

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Study of choice

There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of Urinary incontinence, but stress incontinence can be diagnosed based on stress test and urodynamics.[1]


The comparison of various diagnostic studies for [disease name]

Test Sensitivity Specificity
stress test 83% [2] 90%[3]
one-hour pad test + stress test 90% [4] 65% [5]

stress test is the preferred investigation based on the sensitivity and specificity

Diagnostic results

The following finding on performing stress test is confirmatory for stress incontinence:

  • Urine leaks with the onset of the cough and stops when the cough is stopped.[1]


Sequence of Diagnostic Studies

The various investigations must be performed in the following order:

Name of Diagnostic Criteria

There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of Urinary incontinence.
