Of 1914 women, the diagnoses included bladder outlet obstruction (BOO, n\u2009=\u2009810, 42.3%), bladder dysfunction (n\u2009=\u20091,048, 54.8%) and normal tracings (n\u2009=\u200956, 2.9%). Anatomic BOO (n\u2009=\u200949) included cystocele (n\u2009=\u200919) and urethral stricture (n\u2009=\u200930). Common functional BOOs included dysfunctional voiding (n\u2009=\u2009325, 17.0%) and poor relaxation of the external sphincter (n\u2009=\u2009336, 17.6%). Common bladder dysfunction subtypes included detrusor underactivity (n\u2009=\u2009337, 17.6%), detrusor hyperactivity with impaired contractility (n\u2009=\u2009231, 12.1%), and bladder oversensitivity (n\u2009=\u2009325, 17.0%).
