Morbidity of urodynamic investigation in healthy XXXX .

@entity1 @entity293 @entity793
The morbidity of diagnostic catheterization in healthy @entity1 has never been described. In order to further elucidate the natural history of @entity793 we studied a group of healthy @entity1 without lower urinary tract symptoms. Thirty female volunteers aged 39-72 years underwent urine sampling prior to and at day 3 after invasive urodynamic evaluation. One case of asymptomatic @entity793 was detected among pretest samples. On post-test sampling 10 of 29 cultures were positive. With a cut-off level of >10(5) CFU/ml only 2 cases could be classified as significant @entity793 . Only 1 was symptomatic. The remaining 29 @entity1 had no symptoms following the examination. Thus the incidence of @entity293 was 3.3% following repeated diagnostic catheterization. We concluded that although @entity793 is common after diagnostic catheterization, it is essentially asymptomatic.
