Summary: | The aim was to examine associations of filling cystometric estimated compliance, capacities, and prevalence of bladder instability with data from frequency‐volume charts in a well‐defined group of men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Men with LUTS suggestive of BPH were included if they met the criteria of the International Consensus Committee on BPH, i.e., they voided more than 150 mL during uroflowmetry, their residual volume and prostate size were estimated, and they completed frequency‐volume charts correctly. From the frequency‐volume charts, voiding habits, and fluid intake in the daytime and at night were evaluated. Filling cystometric studies were performed in these men as well. Decreased compliance was an exceptional finding. Cystometric capacity and especially effective capacity (cystometric capacity minus residual volume) corresponded significantly with the maximum voided volume on the frequency‐volume charts. Effective capacity was almost twice as high as the average voided volume. Minimum voided volume on frequency‐volume charts was not related to filling cystometric data. The presence of instability in the supine or sitting position or in both positions was not significantly associated with smaller voided volumes, higher nocturia, or diuria. Filling cystometric capacities were strongly associated with maximal and mean voided volumes derived from frequency‐volume charts. The presence of detrusor instability during filling cystometry did not significantly affect voided volumes, diuria, or nocturia. Neurourol. Urodynam. 21:106–111, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. |
