Patient's histories of urinary incontinence and results of several standard clinical tests, were correlated with final diagnosis obtained by multichannel urodynamic testing. One hundred and thirty one histories of women with urinary incontinence who were in the Urogynecology Clinics of the Instituto Nacional de Perinatología in the period from july to december 1992, were evaluated including dates of standardized questionnaire and structural clinical examination with the urodynamic testing to obtain a final diagnosis. Although the objective urinary loss and the cystocele II-III were significantly associated with genuine stress incontinence and mixed incontinence, in patients with detrusor instability did not. Women with complaints of urinary incontinence, especially those for whom surgery is contemplated, should undergo complete urodynamic evaluation.
