OBJECTIVES: The aim of this prospective study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of
detrusor wall thickness (DWT), free uroflowmetry, postvoid residual urine, and prostate …

PURPOSE: Many methods have been suggested for diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction,
as defined by the gold standard of pressure flow studies. Difficulty arises when comparing …

PURPOSE: We attempted to improve the method of objective clinical evaluation of patients
with benign prostatic enlargement and lower urinary tract symptoms. MATERIALS AND …

Context Several noninvasive tests have been developed for diagnosing bladder outlet
obstruction (BOO) in men to avoid the burden and morbidity associated with invasive …

PURPOSE: We estimated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound detrusor thickness
measurement for BOO and investigated whether this method can replace PFS for the …

Purpose: The objective of the study was to investigate specificity and sensitivity of bladder
wall thickness in the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction. Materials and Methods: The …

Purpose: We evaluated the accuracy of detrusor wall thickness and intravesical prostatic
protrusion, and the association of each test to diagnose bladder prostatic obstruction in …

Detrusor wall thickness decreases continuously while the bladder fills to 50% of its capacity
and then remains constant until 100%. Therefore, detrusor wall measurements were …

PURPOSE: The severity of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic
enlargement correlates poorly with bladder outlet obstruction. Since urodynamic studies are …

Objective To determine whether it is possible to predict the presence of bladder outlet
obstruction (BOO) by non‐invasive clinical variables in patients with lower urinary tract …
