Detrusor Underactivity: Presentation and Urodynamic Characteristics

Detrusor Underactivity Clinical Trial

Official title: The Prevalence and Clinical Presentation of Detrusor Underactivity and Its Urodynamic Characteristics

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Detrusor underactivity (DU) is a known disease of the muscles of the urinary bladder that defined as a weak contraction of the muscle resulting in a failure to achieve complete bladder emptying. Recently, DU as a cause of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in both men and women has been increasingly gaining attention. There is a major issue in differentiation of underactive bladder symptoms and other causes of lower urinary tract symptoms such as detrusor hyperactivity and impaired contractility (DHIC), hypersensitive bladder (HSB), detrusor overactivity (DO), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and Dysfunctional Voiding (DV). Urodynamics (UDS) is the standard diagnostic tool, it includes invasive recording of the pressure that is produced when the bladder muscle contracts via pressure sensors introduced in the urinary bladder through special types of urethral catheters. This study aims to determine the prevalence of DU along with its symptomatic and urodynamics (UDS) characteristics of DU in Jordanian population through a retrospective chart review.
