Table 1. Previously proposed urodynamic criteria for diagnosing detrusor underactivity in the literature.

Study Target population Diagnostic criteria Byname in the present study
Abrams (1999) [4] Male BCI <100 BCI criteria
Nitti et al. (2002) [5] Male AG number<20 and free uroflow Qmax<12 mL/s AG number criteria
Abarbanel and Marcus (2007) [6] Male PdetQmax<30 cmH2O and PFS Qmax<10 mL/s PdetQmax 30 criteria
Gammie et al. (2016) [8] Male BCI<100 and AG number<20 and BVE%<90 BVE criteria
Groutz et al. (1999) [7] Female Qmax<12 mL/s with ≥100 mL voided or PVR volume>150 mL on 2 or more free flow readings Qmax/PVR criteria
Abarbanel and Marcus (2007) [6] Female PdetQmax<30 cmH2O and PFS Qmax<10 mL/s PdetQmax 30 criteria
Gammie et al. (2016) [8] Female PdetQmax<20 cmH2O and PFS Qmax<15 mL/s and BVE%<90 and absence of clinical obstruction BVE criteria

BCI, bladder contractility index; AG number, Abrams-Griffith number; Qmax, maximum flow rate; PdetQmax, detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate; PFS, pressure-flow study; BVE, bladder voiding efficiency; PVR, postvoid residual.
