Detrusor wall thickness as a test for detrusor overactivity in women

Abstract

There is a statistically significant association between detrusor wall thickness and detrusor overactivity (P < 0.001). However, ROC analysis demonstrated that detrusor wall thickness as measured by translabial ultrasound is of little use as a diagnostic test for detrusor overactivity, giving an AUC of only 0.606. Measurement of detrusor wall thickness should therefore not be used as a diagnostic parameter for detrusor overactivity in women.
