Subjective assessment of female urinary incontinence

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

The standard 1-hour pad test is a widely used, semiobjective method for assessing female urinary incontinence (UI). Under specific conditions, the woman wears a preweighed pad for 1 hour and then the pad is weighed again. An increase in pad weight of 1 gram or more indicates a positive result. Abdel-fattah et al. have investigated whether subjective assessment by the patient could replace this test in clinical practice.
