Diagnostic evaluation of stress incontinence is the summary score of the disease presented in percents. On this basis the classification of the disease has been made. The classification, unlike other classifications, includes all parameters, not only the degree of incontinence. The author investigates the role of every diagnostic parameter and makes comparison between them. The percentage range of every parameter in the diagnostic index of the disease is as follows: anamnesis 0--10%, age 0--5%, constitution 0--5% metabolic diseases 0--3%, clinical valuation of the hormonal hypotrophy of the tissue 0--5%, gynecological examination 0--7%, urethrocystoscopy 0--15%, urethrocystography 0--12%, cystometry and sphyncterometry 0--7%, difference between measures of the pressure in the urinary bladder and the urethra 0--16%, uroinfection 0--15%. According to this evaluation, the complexity of the first stage of disease could reach the score of 15--30%, the second stage 31--55%, and the third stage 56--100%. It was deducible mathematically but more upon the authentication in practice. The examination covered 667 female patients.
