It is paramount that new data be incorporated into diagnostic and treatment algorithms. We found that the rate of preoperative urodynamic testing decreased after publication of a randomized-controlled trial demonstrating that these studies did not change procedural decision-making. Future studies that identify instances of over-testing may have the ability to positively impact patient care and contain costs.
