ICS-SUFU standard: Theory, terms, and recommendations for pressure-flow studies performance, analysis, and reporting. Part 1: Background theory and practice. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The working group revised the 1997 ICS Standard for pressure flow studies to improve the diagnosis of voiding dysfunction, focusing on both male and female patients without neurological issues.
  • The new standard, developed from May 2020 to December 2022 and released for public discussion in January 2023, includes theoretical summaries and practical recommendations for assessing urethral resistance and detrusor contraction.
  • The conclusion highlights that pressure flow studies are the gold standard for evaluating voiding function, offering guidelines on execution and terminology to enhance understanding in both physiology and psychology of the urinary process.

Article Abstract

Aims: The working group (WG) initiated by the International Continence Society Standardization Steering Committee and supported by the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction has revised the (1997) ICS Standard for pressure flow studies.

Methods: Based on the ICS standard for developing evidence-based standards, the WG developed this new ICS standard in the period from May 2020 to December 2022. A draft was posted on the ICS website in January 2023 to facilitate public discussion and the comments received have been incorporated into this final release.

Results: The WG summarizes the theory and recommends the practice and the terms used for the diagnosis of voiding dysfunction for adult female and male patients without relevant neurological abnormalities, in part 1 of this standard. The WG has also recommended standard principles and parameters for objective and continuous grading of urethral resistance and detrusor voiding contraction on the basis of pressure flow studies in part 2. The recommendations for practice in this part have also the aim to increase the understanding of the physiology as well as the psychology of voiding. The potential effects of the laboratory situation of the test on the voiding as well as the role of the urodynamicist in this regard are discussed. The WG has recommended to use for diagnosis only the voidings that are considered representative by the patient.

Conclusion: A pressure flow study is the gold standard to assess voiding function and to quantify dysfunction. This part of the standard explains the clinical background, gives recommendations for the execution of a pressure flow study and lists relevant terms, parameters, and units of measurements.
