Background and aims: Stress urinary incontinence is one of the most common diseases which can reduce the quality of life in women. Urodynamic test is a common method of diagnosis of this disease. This study is designed for investigating the necessity of urodynamic test in patients with urinary stress incontinency before transobturator tape (TOT) surgery. Urodynamic test before surgery can affect the quality of life in patients. Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial. The sample size was 48 patients divided into two groups of 24 women in January 2018. Women with urinary incontinence complaints were randomly divided into two groups. For the first group, the urodynamic test was done. Both groups were evaluated one month and six months after TOT surgery based on the results of the I-QOL questionnaire. Results: The mean I-QOL score was 83.9±3.3 in questionnaire group and 81.6±4.6 in urodynamic group one month after surgery with no statistically significant (P=0.052) difference. The quality of life score after 6 months was 87.2±4 in the questionnaire group and 85.4±3 in the urodynamic group with no statistically significant differences with each other (P=0.084). Conclusion: In this study, the urodynamic test only had additional information related to lower urinary tract symptoms and it did not have effects on improving the outcome of the surgery. The test only imposes economic burden. Therefore, the urodynamic test is not required before surgery in patients with urinary stress incontinence

The objective: to investigate the epidemiology of the stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and common lower urinary tract symptoms and the related quality of life among women of different age groups of the selected population by the questionnaire method. Materials and methods. Questionnaires of 49 women of all ages, who were not treated for urologic complaints at the time of the survey, were analyzed. The anamnestic part of the Petros questionnaire and short forms Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were selected for survey. The age distribution is based on qualitative age ranges recommended by WHO. Results. In all, 63% of women surveyed had complaints related with urinary disorders; the most common lower urinary tract symptom was SUI, which worried 41% of all women. The prevalence of SUI among women of different age groups varied: in young and mature women – 35%, significantly increased in middle-aged women and decreased in elderly women. All middle-aged and elderly women had lower urinary tract symptoms. Among the recognized risk factor for SUI was statistically significant cough (p<0.05) with an average association between risk factor and disease. About 61% of patients with urinary incontinence indicated that their symptoms affected quality of life. Conclusions. The analysis of the results of the questionnaire confirmed the feasibility of using UDI-6 and IIQ-7 in epidemiological studies of UI among women. The results of the work performed may be qualified as partial validation of the UDI-6 and IIQ-7 questionnaires in terms of assessing their reliability.

Abstract Background This study aims to assess the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms, and to assess predictors of impaired quality of life among Egyptian adults complain of lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods An observational cross-sectional research was done using an online anonymous poll survey. The survey was implemented through sharing on different social media applications. The survey was posted from June 1, 2020, to June 10, 2020. The overall communities of the Egyptian adults who satisfied the incorporation rules and consented to take an interest in the research were incorporated using convenience and snowball collecting methods (188 adults). A semi-structured questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and Arabic Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) short forms were used. Results Approximately 220 Egyptian adults shared in the research but only 188 fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Approximately 92% of them had at least one symptom of lower urinary tract manifestations. Irritative symptoms presented in 65 (85.5%) of males and 102 (91.1%) of females. Stress symptoms presented in 44 (57.9%) of males and 63 (56.2%) of females with higher statistically significant mean of stress symptoms. Obstruction/discomfort symptoms presented in 51 (67.1%) of males, and 77 (68.8%) of females. Seeking help and duration of the urological problem were statistically significant independent positive predictors of UDI-6-total. The Irritative score, obstruction/discomfort score, and duration of the urological problem were statistically significant independent positive predictors of IIQ-7-total. Conclusions Urological problems are common and have an impact on the quality of life in various domains of physical activity, social relationships, travel, and emotional health.
