Trial of Void Protocol After Surgery
A trial of void protocol is a catheter-removal decision with a pass number, not a checklist: thresholds, methods, and the surgery-by-surgery retention map.
Detrusor Overactivity: Diary First, Then Urodynamics
Detrusor overactivity is a UDS finding, not OAB. The bladder diary triages most cases before urodynamics; subtype changes which prescription works.
ICIQ-OAB: Item-by-Item Interpretation for the 4Is Workup
The ICIQ-OAB scores OAB symptom severity 0 to 16. The four items map to four IPC 4Is workup paths. How to read it, score it, and pair it with the diary.
Post-Void Residual: The Voiding-Impairment Gate-Check
Post-void residual is the singular gate-check on the Voiding axis: cutoffs, measurement pitfalls, the kegel caution, and the practical urology algorithm.
Underactive Bladder & Detrusor Underactivity (N31.2, N31.8)
Underactive bladder and detrusor underactivity (N31.2, N31.8): the diary plus PVR shows which bucket the patient sits in before urodynamics. Workup guide.
Differential Diagnosis of Polyuria: Diary-First Workup
Differential diagnosis of polyuria, anchored to the IPC 4Is framework: how a 3-day bladder diary triages four patterns before the endocrine workup runs.
Nocturnal Polyuria Index (NPi): Formula and 33% Threshold
Calculating the nocturnal polyuria index from a bladder diary: age-stratified thresholds, the 4Is gateway, and the PT-led workup before any drug.
Frequency Volume Chart (FVC): The 4 Numbers to Read
A frequency volume chart is the ICS-formal name for the volumetric core of a bladder diary. The chart that produces 24hVV, MVV, AVV, and NPi at the desk.
