- Abstract
Purpose: We evaluated the accuracy and reliability of a new smartphone-based acoustic voided volume (VV) measurement application compared to VV estimation based on the measurement of urine volume in a bladder by ultrasound bladder scan. Patients and methods: A total of 53 subjects from 01/2021 to 09/2021 were prospectively enrolled. Bladder scan-based VV estimation is based on the difference in the volume of urine in a bladder measured before urination and volume measured after urination. The acoustic VV measurement is based on smartphone-based acoustic VV measurement mobile application. VV estimates for the same void were compared between two techniques. Urinary measures were obtained from 49 male subjects resulting in a total of 245 measurements for analysis. VV measures were compared using Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC), evaluation of observed versus predicted VV measures using linear regression fit indices, and Bland–Altman method. Results: VV between the two techniques revealed strong correlation (PCC 0.811, p < 0.001). Means of the number of measurements per patient and inpatient days for measurements analyzed are 5 and 2.7, respectively. In 245 measurements, VV measured by bladder scan is 238.69 ± 122.32 mL, VV measured by mobile application is 254.69 ± 119.28 mL, and their difference of two measurements is 16 ± 74.29 mL. Conclusion: Through the comparison with VV estimated by ultrasound bladder scan, which is a technology to measure the urine volume in a bladder, it was confirmed that the smartphone-based acoustic VV measurement application proudP® is accurate.
