Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Urethral hypermobility, which can be assessed with Q-tip test, has been considered to be partly responsible for pathogenesis of women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Nonetheless, Q-tip test has lost favor due to patient discomfort. Thus, the purpose of this study was to search a surrogate for assessment of urethral hypermobility by correlating the Q-tip angle and the urodynamic variables in women with SUI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All women with SUI and underwent Q-tip testing were reviewed. Patient characteristics, degree of prolapse determined by Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system, Q-tip angle, the results of urodynamic studies, the Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) Questionnaire and Incontinence Impact (IIQ-7) Questionnaire were reviewed from their medical records. Spearman correlation test, and univariate and multivariate backward stepwise linear regression analysis were performed as appropriate.

Q-tip test

A Q-Tip lubricated with anesthetic gel is inserted into the urethra, woman is then asked to cough and strain, and the angle of the Q-tip rotates is recorded.
