在年轻患者中，尿失禁的评估越来越多地基于复杂的尿动力学检查的结果。然而，这种技术在老年人中的价值尚未得到证实。根据100例老年女性尿失禁患者的临床和尿动力学检查结果，设计了一种管理此类患者的算法方法。一项回顾性研究将算法结果与标准尿动力学评估结果进行了比较，结果表明，该方法可以避免60%的侵入性检查，且诊断准确性损失最小。
In young patients the assessment of urinary incontinence is based increasingly on the results of complex urodynamic investigations. The value of such techniques in the elderly, however, is as yet unproved. Based on the clinical and urodynamic findings in 100 incontinent elderly women an algorithmic method for managing such patients was devised. A retrospective study comparing the algorithmic outcome with the results of standard urodynamic assessment showed that 60% of invasive investigations could be avoided by this method with minimal loss of diagnostic accuracy.
