Abstract
Members of the International Continence Society (UK section) were randomised to receive a scenario comprising clinical and urodynamic data of a woman with urodynamic stress incontinence, including a one-hour pad loss of either 42 g (large loss) or 7 g (small loss). Members were asked to indicate their initial management choice from a list of four options. Three hundred and fifteen of 440 (72%) members responded. Gynaecologists and urologists were significantly more likely to choose surgical treatment for patients with a large pad loss (24% vs 8%; difference 15.8%, 95% CI 2.9-28.7), despite published data demonstrating the poor reproducibility and reliability of the pad test.
