Meta-analysis shows bladder wall thickness cannot diagnose detrusor overactivity in women, suggesting limitations of ultrasound measurements.
Meta-analysis has demonstrated that measurement of bladder wall thickness using ultrasound cannot be used to diagnose detrusor overactivity and can therefore not replace urodynamics in the investigation of women with lower urinary tract symptoms. The results of this meta-analysis must be viewed with the understanding that studies included showed significant heterogeneity despite efforts to reduce large variation in data.
