INTER-OBSERVER AGREEMENT IN THE ESTIMATION OF BLADDER PRESSURE USING A PENILE CUFF.Inter-Observer Agreement Study • July 3rd, 2002
Contract Type FiledJuly 3rd, 2002We previously reported a non-invasive method of estimating bladder pressure during voiding by inflating a penile cuff to measure the pressure at which flow is interrupted (pcuff,int) (1). The cuff pressure is then released allowing flow to resume and the cycle is repeated until voiding is complete, giving typically 2 or more inflation cycles per void. In this study we determine the agreement between experienced observers in deciding which inflation cycles are suitable for measurement, and in their subsequent estimates of pcuff,int.
