However, the usefulness of peak urinary flow rate is limited unless volume voided and age also are considered, since we have defined previously the clinical and mathematical relationship of male peak urinary flow rate as a function of volume voided and age. An accurate method of adjusting peak urinary flow rate to a single value that incorporates age and volume voided is reported herein. This adjusted peak flow rate has been tested clinically by comparison of preoperative and postoperative voidings of prostatectomy patients, and its accuracy has been affirmed. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByGupta D, Sankhwar S and Goel A (2018) Uroflowmetry Nomograms for Healthy Children 5 to 15 Years OldJournal of Urology, VOL. 190, NO. 3, (1008-1014), Online publication date: 1-Sep-2013.PERNKOPF D, PLAS E, LANG T, DAHA K, KUBIN K, TREU T and PFLÜGER H (2018) UROFLOW NOMOGRAM FOR MALE ADOLESCENTSJournal of Urology, VOL. 174, NO. 4 Part 1, (1436-1439), Online publication date: 1-Oct-2005.GUREVITCH E, KELLA N, GAPIN T and ROEHRBORN C (2018) URINARY FLOW RATE RECORDING: THE IMPACT OF A SINGLE DOSE OF A DIURETIC ON CLINIC LOGISTICS AND FLOW RATE PARAMETERSJournal of Urology, VOL. 161, NO. 5, (1509-1512), Online publication date: 1-May-1999.Witjes W, Rosier P, de Wildt M, van Iersel M, Debruyne F and de la Rosette J (2018) Urodynamic and Clinical Effects of Terazosin Therapy in Patients with Symptomatic Benign Prostatic HyperplasiaJournal of Urology, VOL. 155, NO. 4, (1317-1323), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1996.Masumori N, Tsukamoto T, Kumamoto Y, Miyake H, Rhodes T, Girman C, Guess H, Jacobsen S and Lieber M (2018) Japanese Men Have Smaller Prostate Volumes But Comparable Urinary Flow Rates Relative to American Men: Results of Community Based Studies in 2 CountriesJournal of Urology, VOL. 155, NO. 4, (1324-1327), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1996.DuBeau C, Sullivan M, Cravalho E, Resnick N and Yalla S (2018) Correlation Between Micturitional Urethral Pressure Profile and Pressure-Flow Criteria in Bladder Outlet ObstructionJournal of Urology, VOL. 154, NO. 2, (498-503), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1995.Girman C, Panser L, Chute C, Oesterling J, Barrett D, Chen C, Arrighi H, Guess H and Lieber M (2018) Natural History of Prostatism: Urinary Flow Rates in A Community-Based StudyJournal of Urology, VOL. 150, NO. 3, (887-892), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1993.Grino P, Bruskewitz R, Blaivas J, Siroky M, Andersen J, Cook T and Stoner E (2018) Maximum Urinary Flow Rate by Uroflowmetry: Automatic or Visual InterpretationJournal of Urology, VOL. 149, NO. 2, (339-341), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1993.McGuire E (2018) The Role of Urodynamic Investigation in the Assessment of Benign Prostatic HypertrophyJournal of Urology, VOL. 148, NO. 4, (1133-1136), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1992.Golomb J, Lindner A, Siegel Y and Korczak D (2018) Variability and Circadian Changes in Home Uroflowmetry in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Compared to Normal ControlsJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 4, (1044-1047), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1992.Mebust W (2018) Editorial CommentsJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 4, (1047-1047), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1992.Nanninga J (2018) Editorial CommentsJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 4, (1047-1047), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1992.Schoenberg H (2018) Editorial CommentsJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 4, (1047-1047), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1992.Graversen P, Gasser T, Wasson J, Hinman F and Bruskewitz R (2018) Controversies About Indications for Transurethral Resection of the ProstateJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 3 Part 1, (475-481), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1989.Layton T and Drach G (2018) Comparison of 2 Methods of Adjustment of Maximum Urinary Flow RatesJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 2, (388-388), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1988.Di Scipio W, Smey P, Kogan S, Donner K and Levitt S (2018) Impromptu Micturitional Flow Parameters in Normal BoysJournal of Urology, VOL. 136, NO. 5, (1049-1051), Online publication date: 1-Nov-1986.Drach G and Steinbronn D (2018) Clinical Evaluation of Patients with Prostatic Obstruction: Correlation of Flow Rates With Voided, Residual or Total Bladder VolumeJournal of Urology, VOL. 135, NO. 4, (737-740), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1986.
