THE DYSFUNCTIONAL VOIDING SCORING SYSTEM: QUANTITATIVE STANDARDIZATION OF DYSFUNCTIONAL VOIDING SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The Dysfunctional Voiding Symptom Score appears to provide accurate and objective, that is, numerical, grading of voiding behaviors of children. Comparative research studies of dysfunctional voiding diagnosis and response to therapy as well as objective measurements of treatment efficacy and outcomes analysis should be aided greatly by this system.
