Implication

May warrant sex-specific urodynamic assessment in older adults with voiding symptoms; hypothesis-generating for isotonic detrusor failure.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1715 patients (1391 women and 324 men) of different age groups, free from overt neurological disease and diabetes.
O
Outcome
Detrusor muscle function (isometric detrusor function, isotonic voiding activity/velocity constant Q*, change in detrusor pressure on initiation of voiding, post-micturition residual urine volume)surrogate

Voiding dysfunction in late life is more marked in women and appears related to a failure of isotonic detrusor function without changes in isometric function.
