Abstract
An assessment of the Urilos System for quantifying urinary incontinence is presented. There was approximate reproducibility of urine loss measurements between nappies in the same pack but under- and over-recordings of up to 25 and 23%, respectively, were observed; when packs of nappies were compared there were differences of up to 68%. Thus, the Urilos System is not, as yet, sufficiently reliable for quantifying incontinence. Other methods of measuring incontinence objectively are discussed and the use of the daily bladder chart is commended.Keywords
