Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity has a significant impact on female stress urinary incontinence. The weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), a newly explored metric for measuring physical obesity and stress urine incontinence, has not been investigated. METHODS Cross-sectional data were obtained from the 2011 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of participants with complete data for WWI and SUI. The independent connection between WWI and SUI was examined using weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses. Smoothed curve fitting was used to study their relationship. In addition, subgroup analyses were performed, and interaction tests were undertaken. RESULTS In 2,361 female participants over 20, WWI and SUI showed a positive association. Model 3 found that for each one-unit increase in WWI, SUI prevalence increased by 38% [1.38 (1.20, 1.59)]. The prevalence of SUI was 84% higher among participants in the highest quartile of WWI compared to those in the lowest quartile [1.84 (1.32, 2.57)]. Observed nonlinear positive correlation between WWI and SUI was revealed through smoothed curve fitting. In addition, we found that WWI was more strongly associated with SUI than traditional indicators of obesity, including BMI and weight. CONCLUSIONS Females with higher weight-adjusted waist index levels were more likely to develop stress urinary incontinence and have a stronger correlation than traditional indicators of obesity. According to our research, WWI may help detect women's stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and managing obesity through the WWI index may reduce SUI prevalence rates.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing condition within the society and more patients, who have underlying obesity, are presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). The effect of obesity on general health has been well documented, and its impact on the cardiovascular, endocrine, and musculoskeletal systems has been extensively studied. There is now a growing body of evidence on the effects of obesity on the female urogenital system. It seems to influence the prevalence, presentation, assessment, management, and outcome of various types of LUTS and PFD. A holistic approach is needed to assess and manage these patients. A clear understanding of the functions of the pelvic floor and the way it can be affected by obesity is essential in providing holistic care to this group. A frank discussion about patient weight is required in the clinics handling PFD. A multimodal approach to weight loss would help improve PFD symptoms and progression. Patients with obesity should still be offered standard treatment options for all PFDs and should not be forced to lose weight as a prerequisite before starting treatment. However, they should also be made aware of the impediments that being overweight adds to their care and their expectations should be managed accordingly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective reporting of trial results is common. OBJECTIVE To study selective reporting in clinical study reports, company trial registers and publications of quality of life in placebo-controlled trials of antidepressants. METHODS We compared clinical study reports of four antidepressants (fluoxetine, duloxetine, paroxetine and sertraline) obtained from two European drug regulators, data from online company registers, and publications received or retrieved from Eli Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline. Pfizer was also contacted but did not provide any publications. RESULTS We included 15 trials (19,015 pages) and 4717 patients. Six trials had used SF-36, seven EQ-5D and two both instruments. Nine of the 15 CSRs (60%) displayed selective reporting. In the companies' online registers, there was selective reporting for all 15 trials (100%). We received 20 publications from Eli Lilly and retrieved six from the GlaxoSmithKline register. There was selective reporting in 24 of the 26 publications (92%). Despite extensive selective reporting, we found only small differences between placebo and active drugs. CONCLUSIONS Access to the full raw data from clinical trials and to case report forms for all patients are needed to evaluate the effect of antidepressants on quality of life. Regulatory agencies should refuse to approve drugs or new indications based on incomplete reporting.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with a high prevalence of pelvic floor disorders. Patients with obesity present with a range of urinary, bowel and sexual dysfunction problems as well as uterovaginal prolapse. Urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction are more prevalent in patients with obesity. Uterovaginal prolapse is also more common than in the non-obese population. Weight loss by surgical and non-surgical methods plays a major role in the improvement of these symptoms in such patients. The treatment of symptoms leads to an improvement in their quality of life. However, surgical treatment of these symptoms may be accompanied by an increased risk of complications in obese patients. A better understanding of the mechanism of obesity-associated pelvic floor dysfunction is essential.

Abstract
This is a qualitative study seeking to understand Brazilian women's experience of urinary incontinence (UI) and design a representative theoretical model for the experience. Theoretical saturation occurred after analysis of the 18th non-directive interview in accordance with Grounded Theory. Two phenomena emerged: living with the challenges of UI and experiencing the hope and disappointment of rehabilitation from UI. Upon re-alignment of the components, the core category emerged, namely: between suffering and hope - rehabilitation from urinary incontinence as an intervening component. From the analysis in light of symbolic interactionism, pregnancy and vaginal birth were observed to be symbols of women's vulnerability to the suffering from living with the moral and physio-psychosocial challenges of UI. It is also inferred that the lack of consideration of the Unified Health System (SUS) in investing in the process of rehabilitation from UI may be having a negative effect on the incentive programs for promoting vaginal birth. Most of all, it reveals the ongoing suffering of women with UI, most of whom do not have access to rehabilitation due to the lack of programs geared to the real needs of these users of the Unified Health System.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duloxetine was found safe and effective in the treatment of moderate to severe female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in controlled clinical trials; complementary data from routine clinical practice are still wanted. OBJECTIVES To explore the use of various initial duloxetine doses by physicians in the treatment of female SUI in routine clinical practice and its implications on drug safety and patients' subjective impression of effectiveness. METHODS Adult women treated with duloxetine for SUI symptoms were documented as part of an ongoing large-scale observational study in Germany. Data collected at baseline, after 4 and 12 weeks, were evaluated by initial doses. Statistics were descriptive, 95% confidence intervals were calculated for adverse event (AE) rates. RESULTS A total of 7888 adult women were treated with duloxetine; their mean age was 61.4 years, body mass index 27 kg/m(2), incontinence episode frequency (IEF) 14.0 per week. Previous SUI treatments were observed in 52.2%, comorbidities in 60.4% of the patients. A total of 90.7% reported reduced frequency of SUI-episodes, 12.1% any AE; nausea (5.7%) and vertigo (1.6%) were reported most frequently. In all, 52.2% of patients were initiated on a duloxetine dose of 40 mg/day. Only minor differences in patient characteristics, effectiveness and tolerability were associated with varying initial duloxetine doses. CONCLUSIONS Many women received lower duloxetine doses than expected based on evidence-based dosing recommendations. Although SUI patients in this study had a higher health risk because of old age and multiple comorbidities than in previous controlled clinical trials, AE rates were lower, possibly because of the observational character of the study and/or the use of rather low doses. Similar AE rates for varying initial doses possibly reflect sensible dose-adjustment to individual needs.

Abstract
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem among women worldwide. Multiple treatment modalities exist, ranging from physiotherapy to surgery. Numerous reports demonstrate mixed results for efficacy and safety of several oral agents used to treat SUI. Although there are data suggesting reasonable efficacy for several medications, surgery still remains the mainstay of treatment for most women. This article reviews the available oral agents that have been studied and assesses the data supporting their use while highlighting the limitations of each.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this analysis were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of duloxetine at steady state in patients, estimate the variability, identify significant covariates that may influence duloxetine pharmacokinetics and provide appropriate dosing recommendations for patients on duloxetine treatment. METHODS The pharmacokinetic meta-analysis dataset was created from one open-label clinical study and four double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies. Duloxetine concentrations (N = 2002) were obtained from 594 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (n = 223), diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (n = 112), stress urinary incontinence (n = 128) and fibromyalgia (n = 131). Patients were given 20-60 mg/day of oral duloxetine once or twice daily (the highest dose studied was 120 mg/day). A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using a nonlinear mixed-effects modelling method. Covariates including bodyweight, age, sex, ethnicity, smoking status, disease condition, dose, dosing regimen and creatinine clearance were tested for their influence on duloxetine pharmacokinetics. The final model was used to predict steady-state duloxetine concentration-time profiles in various patient subgroups. RESULTS Duloxetine pharmacokinetics in patients were described by a one-compartmental pharmacokinetic model. The interpatient variability in apparent oral clearance (CL/F) was 59% and the interpatient variability in the apparent volume of distribution after oral administration (V(d)/F) was 97%. The residual error was 31%. Sex, smoking status, age and dose had a statistically significant effect on CL/F, whereas the V(d)/F was influenced by ethnicity. CL/F was 40% lower in females than in males and 30% lower in nonsmokers than in smokers. CL/F decreased with increasing dose and age. The V(d)/F in Hispanic patients was twice that of non-Hispanic patients. Simulations showed a considerable overlap in duloxetine exposure between the identified patient subgroups. CONCLUSION Given the clinically insignificant change in the magnitude of duloxetine steady-state exposure and the considerable overlap in duloxetine exposure between the patient subgroups, specific dose recommendations based on sex, smoking status, age, dose and ethnicity are not warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of duloxetine in community-dwelling women > or =65 years with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (S-MUI) versus placebo. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned for 12 weeks to placebo (N=134) or duloxetine (N=131) (20mg twice daily [BID] for 2 weeks and 40 mg BID for an additional 10 weeks), followed by a double-blind 4-week dose de-escalation/discontinuation phase. The primary efficacy variable was the percent change in incontinence episode frequency (IEF) from baseline to endpoint. Other variables included absolute IEF change, responder rate, changes in mean time between voids (MTBV), weekly continence pad usage, the impact of treatment on quality of life, patient's global impression of improvement (PGI-I), and changes in depression and cognition. RESULTS Duloxetine-treated patients had a significantly greater decrease from baseline to endpoint in mean IEF/week than placebo-treated patients (-52.47% vs. -36.70%, P<0.001). The IEF responder rate (> or =50% reduction in IEF/week) was 57.1% in the duloxetine group and 35.2% in the placebo group (P<0.001). Significant benefits of duloxetine were also demonstrated for weekly continence pad usage (P=0.011), MTBV (P<0.001), incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL) scores (P<0.001), and PGI-I ratings (P<0.001). Patients with depressive symptoms and cognitive impairments were few and changes were insignificant. The proportion of patients with > or =1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was similar with both treatments, but dry mouth, fatigue, constipation, and hyperhidrosis were significantly more common in women taking duloxetine. CONCLUSIONS Duloxetine is a safe and effective treatment for elderly women with symptoms of SUI or S-MUI.

Abstract
Obesity is growing at an alarming rate worldwide. It poses a major health problem that in turn places a huge financial burden on health services. Medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus and ischaemic heart disease are commonly associated with obesity but less well documented is the association between obesity and urinary incontinence. This article reviews the current literature to see whether: (1) obesity predisposes to urinary incontinence; (2) weight loss improves urinary incontinence and (3) obesity affects the surgical outcome. It also covers the surgical and anaesthetic implications of obesity. New minimally invasive surgical techniques make surgical risks acceptable for the obese patient but the anaesthetic risks remain high. Obese patients should not be denied surgery but be made aware of the higher risks. Future research should focus on the impact of obesity on surgical outcomes for continence surgery particularly on intraoperative and postoperative complication rates as well as long-term cure rates.
