Low Interrater Reliability of Videourodynamic Diagnosis of Detrusor External Sphincter Dyssynergia

Conclusions The IRR to diagnose DESD on VUDS was much lower than expected, even among experts, and was likely multifactorial and partially owing to lack of clinical context and lack of standardized VUDS interpretation of the electromyogram. A high negative predictive value was found among all participants. Further research is needed to evaluate factors contributing to the low reproducibility of DESD diagnosis on VUDS.
