Objective: The aim of the study was to compare which test is most sensitive in identifying stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women with pelvic organ prolapse using urodynamics (UDS) as the criterion standard: cough stress test (CST) or pyridium pad test.
Methods: This was a prospective study of women with pelvic organ prolapse stage II or greater who desired surgical management for prolapse. Each patient underwent preoperative urinary testing: UDS, CST, and a 24-hour pyridium pad test.
Results: A total of 84 patients were analyzed. Using UDS as the criterion standard, both the CST and the pyridium pad test showed a fair agreement with UDS outcomes (κ = 0.27 for both tests). There was no statistically significant difference between the CST and the pyridium pad test, with estimated sensitivities of 34.4% versus 40.6% (P = 0.791), specificities of 90.4% versus 84.6% (P = 0.508). The pyridium pad test was found to have a statistically significant difference in identifying the subjective complaint of SUI (38.6%, P = 0.003) compared with other tests. Patients with occult incontinence were identified 42.5%, 17.5%, and 10% of the time during UDS, CST, and pyridium pad testing, respectively.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that the sensitivities of the CST and pyridium pad test for stress incontinence and occult stress incontinence in patients with pelvic organ prolapse are low when compared with UDS as the criterion standard. Urodynamics has an important role in preoperative identification of occult SUI.

Objectives: To study the prevalence of occult stress urinary incontinence (SUI) among Indian women with genitourinary prolapse, and determine the risk of developing SUI after vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair in Indian women with occult SUI.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of 78 women with significant genitourinary prolapse without symptoms of SUI was conducted at Christian Medical College, Vellore, India. Before the surgical intervention, the prolapse was repositioned using a pessary and a Pyridium (Parke Davis, Morris Plains, NJ, USA) pad test was performed to detect occult SUI.

The authors present a case of a healthy 55-year-old woman with a 1-year history of vaginal malodor and perineal dampness. A pyridium (phenazopyridine) pad test revealed a well-defined stain area no greater than 3 cm. Cystoscopic examination revealed multiple multilobulated polypoid neoplasms, which we feel probably represent pedunculated hemangiomas.

This study was undertaken to determine normal values for a modified pad test to be used for testing outcomes of studies addressing therapy for exercise incontinence. Fourteen asymptomatic volunteers who were continent by history completed three similar exercise sessions wearing pre-weighed pads after ingesting phenazopyridine hydrochloride (Pyridium, Parke-Davis, Sandy, UT). The mean pad weight gain for all exercise sessions combined was 3.

Eighteen women with urodynamically proven genuine stress incontinence awaiting surgery and 23 normal, asymptomatic, continent female volunteers took part in a study to compare the accuracy of a qualitative pad test with a quantitative pad-weighing test in detecting urine loss. Each woman took 600 mg of phenazopyridine hydrochloride (Pyridium, Parke-Davis) in three equally divided doses over 18-24 hours and then underwent a standardized, one-hour pad test as described by the International Continence Society. The Pyridium pad test was regarded as positive if there was any orange staining on the pad.
