Abstract

Objective: To find out the data of the micturitions in healthy young people with the remote & mobile voiding diary monitoring system.

Methods: Twenty healthy young people were studied and ten of them were female. The ages ranged from 22 to 35 years (the mean age: 27.4 years). The females were 22-33 years old (the mean age: 26.4 years ) and the males 24-35 years old (the mean age: 28.4 years). With the remote & mobile voiding diary monitoring system, their voiding information was collected. Through bluetooth, the voiding information was sent to the patient's intelligent cell phone from the collector, then stored directly by intelligent cell phone and wirelessly transmitted to the workstation in the hospital. All of them completed the voiding diaries for 7 days and the data were analyzed.

Results: The average micturition of the young healthy people was 5.6 times (3.4-7.4) per 24 hours,in which 5.3 (3.4-7.3) times were in the daytime and 0.3 (0-1.3)times in the night. The functional voiding volume was 318 mL (66-642 mL). The mean voiding volume in 24 hours was 1 724 mL (1152-2 415 mL), in which 1 289 mL (786-2 039 mL) was in the daytime and 435 mL (292-805 mL) in the night. The mean drinking volume was 1 022 mL (453-1 721 mL) in the daytime and 7 mL (0-43 mL) in the night. The nocturia index (Ni) was 1.03, the nocturnal polyuria index (NPi) 26%, and the nocturnal bladder capacity index (NBCi) 0.27.

Conclusion: The remote & mobile voiding diary monitoring system can help us get the objective voiding information from young health people for the first time. It is reliable, maneuverable and can be widely used in clinical diagnosis.
