Uroflowmetry is the most widely used non-invasive urodynamic tool for most patients with suspected lower urinary tract dysfunction. Home uroflowmetry can produce multiple representative flow readings in adequate privacy condition when patients feel a normal desire. Because of its advantages of decreasing variability, describing circadian rhythms and combating problems inherent to clinic-based measurements, it can improve diagnostic accuracy and predictive value. Further studies are required to confirm quantitative data of patient's preferences and to measure cost-benefit of home uroflowmetry.
尿流率测定是大多数疑似下尿路功能障碍患者最广泛使用的非侵入性尿动力学检查方法。家庭尿流率测定可以在患者感觉有正常排尿意愿时，在充分私密的条件下产生多个具有代表性的尿流读数。由于其具有降低变异性、描述昼夜节律以及解决基于临床测量所固有的问题等优点，它可以提高诊断准确性和预测价值。还需要进一步的研究来确认患者偏好的定量数据，并衡量家庭尿流率测定的成本效益。
