Table 1. Urodynamic inclusion criteria for detrusor underactivity in recent studies.

Study Sample size with DU (n) Age (y) DU urodynamic diagnostic criteria
Abarbanel and Marcus (2007) [29] Male, 82; female, 99 ≥70 Qmax<10 mL/s, PdetQmax <30 cmH2O
Jeong et al. (2012) [9] Male, 632; female, 547 >65 Male: BCI<100
Female: PdetQmax ≤10 cmH2O and Qmax ≤12 mL/s
Hoag and Gani (2015) [8] Male, 25; female, 54 Mean: 59.2 (range, 19–90) BCI<100 and absence of identifiable BOO
Gammie et al. (2016) [16] Male, 129; female, 308 Median: male 63, female 55 Male: BCI<100, BOOI<20, BVE<90%
Female: PdetQmax <20 cmH2O and Qmax <15ml/s
Uren et al. (2017) [15] Male, 29; female, 15 Mean: 64 (range, 27–88) Male: BCI<100 and BOOI <20
Female: PdetQmax of <20 cmH2O and Qmax of <15 mL/s

PdetQmax, detrusor pressure at maximum flow; Qmax, maximum flow rate; BCI, bladder contractility index; BOOI, bladder outlet obstruction index; BVE, bladder voiding efficiency.

BCI=PdetQmax+5Qmax. BOOI=PdetQmax–2Qmax. BVE=(voided volume/total bladder capacity)×100.
