This article reviews the literature on pad weighing tests composed to measure urinary incontinence. The tests can be divided into short-term tests (one to two hours) performed in a clinic or laboratory, or long-term tests (12 to 48 hours) performed by the patient at home. The short-term tests, apart from practical disadvantages, have low negative predictive value and require retrograde filling of the bladder to reach acceptable reproducibility. The long-term tests have practical advantages, better sensitivity and acceptable reproducibility. Pad weighing tests have no value for the purpose of differential diagnosis. The validity of the long-term test as a measure of the symptom of urinary incontinence is obvious whereas it is unclear what the short-term test measures.
本文综述了用于测量尿失禁的尿垫称重试验的相关文献。这些试验可分为在诊所或实验室进行的短期试验（一至两小时），或由患者在家中进行的长期试验（12至48小时）。短期试验除了存在实际缺点外，阴性预测值较低，并且需要膀胱逆行充盈以达到可接受的重复性。长期试验具有实际优势、更好的敏感性和可接受的重复性。尿垫称重试验对于鉴别诊断没有价值。长期试验作为尿失禁症状测量方法的有效性是显而易见的，而短期试验测量的是什么尚不清楚。
