Do urodynamics provide a better understanding of voiding disorders in women over 80?
CONCLUSION: Usefulness of urodynamics to manage LUT dysfunction in women older than 80 y is greatly dependent on their neurological status. In non-neurological women this is non debatable but proposed treatment needs to take into account existing co-morbidities. In neurological women the main usefulness is to unmask DU and to propose the best management in order to avoid complete retention.
