The role of the frequency-volume chart in the differential diagnostic of female urinary incontinence

Objective. To investigate the differential diagnostic capacity of the frequency-volume chart in 132 women with urinary incontinence. Material and method. For each patient, the readings of two 24-h frequency-volume charts were compared to the urodynamic diagnosis which was used as the gold standard in 73 genuine stress incontinent women, in 23 urge incontinent women, and in 36 women with mixed incontinence. Results. The total voided volume, the mean voided volume, the largest single voided volume, and the smallest single voided volume were statistically differentiating single parameters among the three groups (p
