Usefulness of total bladder capacity and post-void residual urine volume as a predictor of detrusor overactivity with impaired contractility in stroke patients.

Detrusor overactivity (DO) with impaired contractility (DOIC) is a mixed pattern of involuntary contraction and increased post-void residual urine volume (PVR) which occurs in stroke patients. Urodynamic study results obtained from patients with detrusor abnormalities and stroke were analyzed to identify the associations between various urodynamic parameters and DOIC. Between August 2003 and November 2010, 127 patients were selected from 178 patients undergoing urodynamic study due to urinary symptoms.
