A novel "provoked compliance" calculation may be used to assess the bladder's response to compression. The objective of this study was to quantify provoked compliance in response to bladder compressions using ultrasound (US) – UDT. METHODS: Adult patients undergoing clinically indicated UDT were enrolled. Standard compliance (ΔV/ΔP), demographics, and ICIq-OAB surveys were recorded. Provoked compliance testing was initiated by pausing the pump at 50% capacity (based on 3-day void diary). A transverse US image was captured, serving as a baseline. The bladder was then compressed by the US probe to roughly half of the baseline anterior-posterior diameter for 5 seconds followed by a 5 second pause. This process was repeated 5x with transverse US images being captured during each compression and pause. ImageJ circularity function was utilized to calculate circularity by manually tracing the bladder wall in each captured image. Provoked compliance (Δcircularity/Δpressure) was then calculated by averaging circularity and pressure data across points of max compression. RESULTS: In data analyzed from 44 participants, there was significant association between age and increased provoked compliance, particularly with patients ≥50 years old compared to younger patients (p0.0275 cm-H2O-1 in 10/22 (45.5%) participants ≥50 years old compared to 0/12 (0%) in patients 0.0275 cm-H2O-1) compared to bother scores0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Higher provoked compliance (floppier bladders) during bladder compressions was seen in patients≥50 years old and those with increased bothersome urgency. Additional investigation is required to determine association with OAB and other forms of voiding dysfunction.
