Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are a series of conditions related to weakening and or tears of pelvic muscles and endopelvic fascia, that are generally poorly tolerated, negatively affecting women's quality of life. Among all PFDs, bladder‐related symptoms tend to be the most reported; however, urinary symptoms do not necessarily correlate with an underlying pathology and instrumental findings. Urodynamics is the milestone for the assessment of lower urinary tract dysfunctions but, despite its usefulness, its role has been recently questioned and several attempts have been made to develop models to predict urodynamics findings based on clinical data. Unfortunately so far, predictive models resulted in unsatisfactory performances. Our study aims to evaluate, in a large cohort of patients, the agreement between lower urinary tract symptoms and corresponding urodynamic diagnosis and build predictive models.

Abstract

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are a series of conditions related to weakening and or tears of pelvic muscles and endopelvic fascia, that are generally poorly tolerated, negatively affecting women's quality of life. Among all PFDs, bladder‐related symptoms tend to be the most reported; however, urinary symptoms do not necessarily correlate with an underlying pathology and instrumental findings. Urodynamics is the milestone for the assessment of lower urinary tract dysfunctions but, despite its usefulness, its role has been recently questioned and several attempts have been made to develop models to predict urodynamics findings based on clinical data. Unfortunately so far, predictive models resulted in unsatisfactory performances. Our study aims to evaluate, in a large cohort of patients, the agreement between lower urinary tract symptoms and corresponding urodynamic diagnosis and build predictive models.
