Aims: To evaluate the reproducibility of cystometry and pressure flow studies in women. We wanted to explore any clinically relevant effect of repeated, same-session cystometry. Methods: Thirty healthy women with a mean age of 52 years were investigated with repeat medium-fill water cystometry and pressure-flow micturition studies in a single session. Results: Large test-retest variability was noted, with wide limits of agreement. Of statistical significance was an increase of first desire (FD) and normal desire (ND), and a decrease in bladder opening pressure. Maximum cystometric capacity was unchanged. Conclusions: Although the nature of the conditioning effect of the first fill remains to be explored, the phenomenon could possibly be used for improved urodynamic diagnosis. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
