The pressure transmission ratio is the increment in urethral pressure on stress
(cough) as a percentage of the simultaneously recorded increment in vesical
pressure. For stress profiles obtained during coughing, pressure transmissions
can be obtained at each cough peak along the urethra, by placing two
transmission markers. One marker should be placed at the base of the cough
peak [D] and one at the top of the peak [E].
Calculated: Transmission: [A]/[B] * 100 %
