Improving Uroflowmetry: Do Pre-Procedure Reminders Help Women Undergoing Urodynamics

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study compares a prospective reminder intervention to a historical control to see if reminders improve patient satisfaction, preparedness, and anxiety before urodynamics. It uses a patient reminder system as the intervention and measures rate of successful procedure completion. Participants are women 18 or older scheduled for urodynamics at OSU clinics who meet eligibility criteria. Outcomes include patient experience and procedural success. The design leverages existing clinical workflows at OSU Wexner Medical Center.

2. Patients with structural causes of urinary retention/incomplete bladder emptying (defined as a post-void residual \>150ml) or a positive point-of-care urinary tract infection on the day of the procedure.
3. Men are excluded as the population of interest is the female urogynecology population in both urology and obstetrics and gynecology.
