The International Children’s Continence Society (ICCS) has standardized the terminology for normal and abnormal lower urinary tract dysfunctions. The consensus on terminology for normal and abnormal voiding dysfunction was arrived at by members of the ICCS, European Society for Pediatric Urology, the AAP Section on Urology and the Society for Pediatric Urology and was published in the Journal of Urology 176:314-324, 2006.
The dissemination of the terminology and the universal use of its vernacular will provide the basis for standardized patient assessment and outcome analysis.
Attached are commonly used terms defined in the ICCS terminology recommended for use in the assessment of pediatric lower urinary tract function. (This is also Appendix 3 of the PDF, above). The adoption of this terminology will greatly aid in the scientific advancement and enhanced patient care in children with urinary incontinence.
