However, there has been no standardization of the performance or reporting of CST. A working group of the International Continence Society (ICS) has developed an educational module, comprising a Powerpoint\u2122 presentation and evidence base manuscript, to instruct on the performance, interpretation, and reporting of the CST in a standardized manner: the ICS\u2010Uniform Cough Stress Test (ICS\u2010UCST).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The working group performed a PUBMED literature search of articles (observational\/experimental and reviews) published prior to 2017 that mentioned a CST. The evidence base examined various variables in performing a CST as well as sensitivity\/specificity and positive\/negative predictive values of CST.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The variables involved in performing\/interpreting an ICS\u2010UCST include: patient positioning, degree of bladder filling, number, and forcefulness of coughs, and method of SUI detection. For the ICS\u2010UCST it is recommended that the patient be in a supine\/lithotomy position with 200\u2010400\u2009mL of fluid in the bladder. She coughs forcefully 1\u20104 times and the examiner directly visualizes the urethral meatus for the presence of leakage. Leakage of fluid from the urethral meatus coincident with\/simultaneous to the cough(s) is considered a positive test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This module provides instructions to educate a uniform CST (the ICS\u2010UCST), with the aim of improving the clinical practice of cough stress testing in female patients with urinary incontinence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.23519","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,21]],"date-time":"2018-06-21T11:04:15Z","timestamp":1529579055000},"page":"1849-1855","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["ICS Educational Module: Cough stress test in the evaluation of female urinary incontinence: Introducing the ICS\u2010Uniform Cough Stress Test"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9869-3076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael L.","family":"Guralnick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Wisconsin Milwaukee Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xavier","family":"Fritel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 de M\u00e9decine et Pharmacie Universit\u00e9 de Poitiers Poitiers France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tufan","family":"Tarcan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Montserrat","family":"Espuna\u2010Pons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICGON.
