Bladder ultrasonography for diagnosing detrusor overactivity: test accuracy study and economic evaluation. Health Technology Assessment 2016; 20(7) Authors' objectives To estimate the reliability, reproducibility, accuracy and acceptability of bladder wall thickness (BWT) in women with overactive bladder (OAB), measured by ultrasonography, in the diagnosis of detrusor overactivity (DO); to explore the role of urodynamics (UDS) and its impact on treatment outcomes; and to conduct an economic evaluation of alternative care pathways. Authors' conclusions There was no evidence that BWT had any relationship with DO, regardless of the cut-off point, nor any relationship to symptoms as measured by the ICIQ-OAB. Bladder ultrasonography has no diagnostic or prognostic value as a test in this condition. Furthermore, despite its greater acceptability, BWT measurement was not sufficiently reliable or reproducible.
