Perineal Color Doppler Ultrasound of Periurethral Vascularization In Women Affected By Urinary Stress Incontinence

This study aimed to assess the vascular parameters of the urethra through an ultrasound assessment using the trans-labialconvex probe (Voluson E8 GE) in women affected by stress incontinence and compare them with women who do nothave the disorder.Patients with USI recruited for the group of cases were 12, and the women not affected by USI were 12. The studycompares patients with a disease (cases) with patients who do not have the disease (controls). The design of the study is acontrolled case-control observational trial. Thus, the data gathered were the resistance index (RI) and the color score ofthe studied area to quantify the degree of vascularization. The semi-quantitative parameter identified through the powerdoppler was the resistance index (RI). The qualitative parameter was the color score of the studied area, obtained throughthe color doppler assessment; these data were used to quantify each patient's vascularization degree.The ANOVA test showed a significant difference between the RI values in group 0 (NO USI) and group 1 (USI). TheROC curve analysis was used, demonstrating that the diagnostic test is adequate and has a high discriminating value foridentifying the true positives and the true negatives.The Doppler, therefore, is an important instrument that helps diagnose the more common vascular disorders in climactericand menopause.
