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.

Various urodynamic studies have been used in patients with bladder outlet obstruction in order to evaluate the degree of obstruction, the results of therapy and postprostatectomy conditions. Radionuclide urodynamic study was performed in 27 patients with bladder outlet obstruction and 30 normal controls. The parameters evaluated were voiding time, 50% voiding time, average flow rate, peak flow rate, corrected peak flow rate, ejection fraction of the bladder and residual urine. Voiding time, 50% voiding time and residual urine of patients were significantly larger than controls and average flow rate, Peak flow rate, peak corrected flow rate and ejection fraction were significantly lower in patients. This method was noninvasive procedure for determining of voiding parameters and it avoids the extraexamination needs to determine the residual urine.
