We informed and educated visitors about LUTS by means of a uroflowmetry test on the festival toilets. Herein, we describe the uroflow parameters collected on festival toilets of adult volunteers.
About the abstract:
Participants voided voluntarily and at their discretion on a portable uroflowmeter (Minze Uroflowmeter) placed on festival toilets. We classified the uroflow curves using (i) the ICS descriptors, (ii) ratio of Qave and Qmax and (iii) ratio of time to Qmax and flow time. A Qmax vs. Vvoid plot was created and compared to the Liverpool nomograms for women and men.
A portable, toilet-based uroflowmeter can be used as an engaging informational and screening tool for LUTS. The majority of uroflow parameters of adult volunteers collected on festival toilets was normal but with fairly large voided volumes. 21.0% of measurement had a Vvoid larger than 600ml, of which no Qmax vs Vvoid normal values exist today. Our data suggests that the relationship between Qmax and Vvoid at these larger volumes follows a different trend.
Looking forward to seeing you at the #EAU2023 in Milan this week! Please visit us at booth B-65.
Besides showcasing our products our colleague Lola Bladt will present this very interesting abstract (A0812) called “Uroflow measurements on festival toilets of adult volunteers”.
It is part of the Abstract session 44: E-Health, instruments and disposables in urology and affordable medicine at Sunday 12 March 2023 from 17:30 – 19:00. Good luck presenting Lola!
2.3 billion people worldwide have from Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). However, only few seek care because of several barriers, such as embarrassment, anxiety and unawareness. Minze Health organized a taboo-breaking LUTS awareness campaign at Nerdland, a popular Belgian science festival.
