Subjects were kept blind that report and graph was of same patient. Of the 85 results correct diagnosis was made in 40% and 34% based on report and graph respectively. Qmax was considered in 98.8% of results. Other parameters were less frequently considered. On cross tabulation of report and graph the correct diagnosis was 27%. It can be concluded that interpretation of the uroflowmetry is not easy. Majority of the clinicians have difficulty in interpreting it. It is recommended that final diagnosis be given with the uroflowmetry graph.</p> <p><strong>Key words</strong>: uroflowmetry, Qmax, Urological residents.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Annals of King Edward Medical University}, author={Khan, Muhammad Safdar and Mannan, A and Tasneem, R A}, year={2010}, month={Feb.}, pages={252} }
