Description
Summary:	To determine the diagnostic utility of the urinary symptoms and physical examination in the urodynamic diagnosis of the type of female urinary incontinence. A descriptive longitudinal study was conducted in 100 women undergoing urodynamic evaluation. The patients were asked about the urinary symptoms and were evaluated by physical examination and cystomanometry. A statistically significant correlation was found for age and clinical type of urinary incontinence. A strong trend was observed for clinical type of urinary incontinence and cystocele grade, and the urodynamic type of incontinence. A low sensitivity was found for the clinical type in relation to the urodynamic type of incontinence. Urinary incontinence clinical data do not permit determination of the urodynamic type of incontinence.
