Abstract
Urodynamic studies which included cough leak point pressure CLPP and pressure flow studies were performed at two visits 2 weeks apart Reproducibility between the two visits and also between the two diagnostic groups urodynamic stress incontinence USI and urodynamic mixed incontinence UMI were analysed Thirtyone women completed both visits of those 14 had USI in both sets of urodynamic studies 11 had UMI on both visits six had USI on one visit and UMI in the other The urodynamic variables of maximum cystometric capacity and CLPP have the most repeatability Analysis in women with USI alone compared to USI with detrusor overactivity DOA showed that the repeatability for pressure flow parameters and CLPP was better in women without DOA of which the CLPP was significantly different p = 0036 Urodynamic variables are inconsistent This may reflect variations in urinary tract behaviour
