Pdf Summary

This study aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between urethral hypermobility (UH) and the severity of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms. The study involved 252 women diagnosed with SUI, and data was collected between January 2012 and November 2016. The Q-Tip test was used to measure urethral hypermobility, and patient symptoms were measured using the PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 questionnaires. The study found no correlation between the degree of urethral hypermobility and patient-reported symptoms of SUI. The results did not show a dose-response relationship between UH and SUI symptoms. The study also controlled for comorbidities and prior pelvic surgery. The study was determined to be adequately powered with a 96% power to detect a true correlation of 0.3 or better. Overall, the results support the null hypothesis that there is no correlation between the degree of urethral hypermobility and patient symptoms of SUI. The study suggests that the relationship between urethral hypermobility and SUI symptoms is complex and individualized.
