Popis: Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of urethral catheterization on the accuracy of EMG uroflowmetry in children with non-neurogenic voiding disorders during pressure-flow (PF) studies compared to the non-invasive EMG uroflowmetry test. Methods A retrospective study of children undergoing a urodynamic evaluation at our institution between 8/2018 and 7/2022 was employed. Urination curves and pelvic floor muscle activity were compared between PF studies and non-invasive EMG uroflowmetry test. The non-invasive test was selected as the standard benchmark. Results 104 children were tested, with 34 children (33%) being able to urinate only in a non-invasive EMG uroflowmetry. The percentage of boys unable to urinate with a catheter was significantly higher than girls (54% vs. 13%, p-value
