Objective: Children with neurological and non-neurological lower urinary tract dysfunction normally undergo video urodynamics. One reason is to try to diagnose 'dangerous' bladders. Currently, bladder compliance is used to predict 'dangerous' bladder... Read More about Trying to predict 'dangerous' bladders in children: The area under the curve concept.
