Is 40 cm H₂O detrusor leak point pressure cut‐off reliable for upper urinary tract protection in children with myelodysplasia?

Abstract

Present study showed that more than half of the children with myelodysplasia had normal UUT function even with a DLPP of 40 cm H₂ O and over. Thus, DLPP, is not the sole decision making parameter to rely for more invasive therapies in children with myelodysplasia. On the other hand, a DLPP cut-off value of 20 cm H₂ O showed a higher sensitivity to predict UUT damage instead of 40 cm H₂ O. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:759-763, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
