Abstract

Objectives

Uroflowmetry (UFM) is the first-line noninvasive screening test employed in the diagnosis of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). The purpose of this study was to determine normal UFM values in healthy Turkish children among our local population.

Methods

A total of 100 healthy girls and 62 healthy boys aged 5–15 years, who applied to İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center Pediatrics Polyclinic between February 2021 and January 2022, were included in the present study. The UFM parameters, including maximum flow rate (Qmax), average flow rate (Qavg), voided volume (VV), time to maximum flow, and voiding time, were measured using the Inoflow Smart System UFM Device and the resulting urine flow curve was recorded. The children were compared in terms of the UFM parameters based on their gender and age groups (5–10 years and 11–15 years).

Results

The mean Qmax value in healthy female children aged 5–15 years (21.8 ± 8.6 mL/s) was significantly higher than in male children (17.98 ± 6.1 mL/s) (p = .003). VV, Qmax, and Qavg values of the children in the 11–15 age group were significantly higher than those in the age group of 5–10 years (p > .05 for each). VV, Qmax, and Qavg values were directly proportional to age (p = .0001, for each).

Conclusions

We believe that this study adds to the limited knowledge base regarding normal flow patterns in healthy children.

5-15岁健康儿童的尿流量测定参数岁

目的：尿流量测定法（UFM）是诊断下尿路功能障碍（LUTD）的一线无创筛查方法。本研究的目的是确定我们当地人口中健康土耳其儿童的正常UFM值。方法：共有100名5-15岁的健康女孩和62名健康男孩年，他们在2021年2月至2022年1月期间申请了伊恩努大学图尔古特Özal医学中心儿科综合诊所，被纳入本研究。使用Inoflow智能系统UFM设备测量UFM参数，包括最大流速（Qmax）、平均流速（Qavg）、排泄量（VV）、达到最大流量的时间和排泄时间，并记录所得尿流量曲线。根据儿童的性别和年龄组（5-10 11-15岁结果：5-15岁健康女性儿童的平均Qmax值年（21.8± 8.6 mL/s）显著高于男性儿童（17.98 ± 6.1 毫升/秒）（p = .003）。11-15岁年龄组儿童的VV、Qmax和Qavg值显著高于5-10岁年龄组年（p > .05）。VV、Qmax和Qavg值与年龄成正比（p = .0001）。结论：我们认为这项研究增加了关于健康儿童正常血流模式的有限知识库。

期刊介绍： LUTS is designed for the timely communication of peer-reviewed studies which provides new clinical and basic science information to physicians and researchers in the field of neurourology, urodynamics and urogynecology. Contributions are reviewed and selected by a group of distinguished referees from around the world, some of whom constitute the journal''s Editorial Board. The journal covers both basic and clinical research on lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD), such as overactive bladder (OAB), detrusor underactivity, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), painful bladder syndrome (PBS), as well as on other relevant conditions. Case reports are published only if new findings are provided. LUTS is an official journal of the Japanese Continence Society, the Korean Continence Society, and the Taiwanese Continence Society. Submission of papers from all countries are welcome. LUTS has been accepted into Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) with a 2011 Impact Factor.
