Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and urodynamic parameters to investigate the characteristics of mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: The subjects were 318 women with MUI and 128 women with SUI. Data were collected retrospectively from electronic medical records including Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms-Scored Form (BFLUTS-SF), Incontinence Quality of Life Instrument (I-QOL), voiding diaries, and urodynamic parameters. Results: Compared with the SUI group, the MUI group was older and showed lower I-QOL and more severe urinary tract symptoms. The MUI group had more urinary frequency, more nocturia, and a higher urgency score than the SUI group. In the correlation analysis, the greatest difference between the two groups was that urgency was associated with Qmax, maximal cystometric capacity, and detrusor overactivity only in the MUI group (r = -.175, p= .004; r = -.281, p< .001; r= .232, p< .001, respectively). Conclusion: As a result of this study, we propose that a customized management program that emphasizes the control of urgency for the MUI group, and one that effectively strengthens the weak pelvic floor for the SUI group.

복압 측정을 위한 기존의 카데터 방법은 배뇨압에 영향을 줄 수 있는 많은 오차를 유발할 수 있으며 환자에게 불편함을 야기한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 표면 근전도를 이용하여 비침습적으로 복압을 측정할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 개발하였다. 연구 결과, 기존 직장 카테터를 이용하여 측정된 복압과 복압측정 알고리즘을 이용하여 추정된 복압 간의 상관계수는 $0.79{\pm}0.06$이었으며, 두 신호간의 오차는 $0.10{\pm}0.07$이었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 복압추정 알고리즘을 이용하면 휴대용 요역동학 검사 시 편리하게 간접적으로 복압을 측정할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
