Dysfunctional voiding (DV) is a condition characterized by an impaired relaxation of the pelvic floor musculature during voiding, with a poorly understood etiology. In children and adults it is known to cause residual urine after voiding with subsequent UTI’s, and daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) due to an impaired sensation for the filling state of the bladder.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Persisting or relapse of DV from baseline and/or after conservative treatment to adulthood, expressed as the percentage of adults with DV. DV is herein determined according to ICS criteria as the presence of a staccato and/or intermittent urinary flow | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Daytime urinary incontinence in days per week, defined as any form of involuntary leakage of urine. - Post-void residual defined as the volume of urine in milliliter left in the bladder at the end of micturition. - Urinary tract infections , defined as a bacteriuria, with or without fever, with need for antibiotic treatment in the last six months. - Conservative treatment success, as described in the study of Klijn et al. (previous mentioned) and quantified according to the ICCS criteria. | — |
