Predictive Value of Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure, Urethral Hypermobility and Urethral Incompetence in the Diagnosis of Clinically Significant Female Genuine Stress Incontinence

Abstract

The best single predictor of clinically significant SUI is urethral incompetence, followed by urethral hypermobility and MUCP. When combining several factors, namely grade II urethral incompetence with grade III hypermobility, grade III urethral incompetence with grades I to III hypermobility and grade IV urethral incompetence with or without urethral hypermobility, all indicated more than a 90% probability of clinically significant SUI.
