I believe that there have been a number of studies which show that history alone is not a totally reliable indicator of presence or absence of detrussor instability. I would always send for urodynamics but don't have access to urethral pressure profiling.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
