Cramer’s V = 0.336 (p < 0.001). Pearson’s contingency coefficient: C = 0.558 (p < 0.001)

When SNM is successful in patients with a history of storage dysfunction, there is a significant association between the conventional-UDS-based and the ambulatory-UDS-based diagnoses (C = 0.767, p < 0.001). If SNM is not successful, no relation is seen

a-UDS ambulatory urodynamic study, c-UDS conventional urodynamic study, OAB overactive bladder, DO detrusor overactivity

aOAB consists out of OAB-dry and OAB-wet

bThe seven patients with OAB with DO are amongst the 11 OAB patients

cOf the 18 patients of hypocontractile on ambulatory-UDS, ten were only hypocontractile and the eight others had also filling phase contractions. In patients with a history of voiding dysfunction, no significant association is seen, independent of successful SNM
