Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition, affecting 16% of Americans, few patients continue on to advanced therapies. Furthermore, procedural therapies like intravesical onabotulinum toxin-A (BTX-A), which require ongoing repeat treatments, have discontinuation rates ranging from 25% to 51%. OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate factors associated with dis-continuation of BTX-A injections for idiopathic OAB among a diverse urban population. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective review of adults 18 years and older who underwent BTX-A injection for idiopathic OAB. Patient demographics, past medical history, symptoms, and postprocedural outcomes such as subjective improvement, urinary retention, and incidence of urinary tract infection were compared between groups. RESULTS Onabotulinum toxin-A injections were administered to 246 patients who met study criteria, of whom 211 (85.7%) were women. One hundred (40.7%) patients discontinued BTX-A therapy. Patients discontinuing BTX-A therapy were more likely to have developed postprocedural urinary retention (18.4% vs 9.7%, P < 0.05) and had a higher median income by zip code ($59,000 vs $50,000; P < 0.01). Patients were significantly more likely to continue BTX-A therapy if they reported preprocedural nocturia (57.2% vs 36.8%, P < 0.01) or urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) (78.1% vs 64.6%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Adverse outcomes, such as postprocedural urinary retention, are associated with discontinuation of BTX-A therapy. Patients who reported nocturia and UUI before injection were more likely to continue BTX-A suggesting more severe OAB is more responsive to this therapy. Given the large proportion (>40%) of patients who discontinued BTX-A treatment, further research is needed to identify barriers to continuation of care.

[PMID: 38276531 PMCID: PMC10819285 DOI: 10.3390/toxins16010007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Manifestations of OAB can considerably diminish the quality of life. Botulinum toxin has emerged as a valuable treatment option in diseases whose symptoms cannot be controlled adequately with other available therapies. The aim of the present study was to compare the subjective quality of life of patients with OAB before the injection of botulinum toxin and three and six months after the intervention. METHODS This study was based on a diagnostic survey with three validated questionnaires, ICIQ-OAB, ICIQ-OABqol, and ICIQ-LUTSqol, and an additional questionnaire developed by the authors to collect sociodemographic characteristics and selected medical data. RESULTS This study demonstrated significant differences between pre-treatment scores and those at three and six months post injection. At three and six months after the intervention, mean scores for all three instruments (ICIQ-OAB, ICIQ-OABqol, ICIQ-LUTSqol) were significantly lower than the respective pre-treatment values, implying a significant attenuation of OAB symptoms and their lower impact on the quality of life. However, the severity of OAB symptoms and their impact on the quality of life at six months post intervention were significantly higher than at three months, except for the social interaction domain. CONCLUSIONS Botulinum toxin is an effective treatment for OAB.

Toxins (Basel) 2023; 15:toxins15050338. [PMID: 37235372 DOI: 10.3390/toxins15050338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the treatment patterns and long-term efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA injections in a clinical setting. This single-center retrospective study was conducted on patients with refractory overactive bladder (OAB) aged 18 years or older who received onabotulinumtoxinA 100 IU administered between April 2012 and May 2022. The primary endpoint was the treatment pattern, including the retreatment rate and OAB medication prescription pattern. The duration and effectiveness of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment were analyzed using the overactive bladder symptom score and voiding diaries. A total of 216 patients were enrolled in this study, and the overall patient satisfaction rate was 55.1%. After the first injection, 19.9% received a second treatment, and 6.1% received three or more injections. The median duration until the second injection was 10.7 months. Among the patients, 51.4% resumed OAB medications after 2.96 months. The presence of urodynamic detrusor overactivity was observed only in female patients (odds ratio, 23.65; 95% CI, 1.84 to 304.40), which was associated with a good response. In contrast to clinical trials, the degree of improvement and retreatment rate did not meet expectations. Our findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of onabotulinumtoxinA injections in patients with refractory OAB symptoms in real-world practice.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to determine risk factors for delayed response in patients with neurogenic and idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) after intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxin A injection. Subjects and Methods This is a retrospective study that included 87 patients who underwent onabotulinumtoxin A intradetrusor injection from October 2011 to November 2019. Patients were followed up at 2, 4, and 12 weeks post intervention in the outpatient clinic and over the phone. The data of patients with early response were compared with those with late response using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The study included 87 patients. The mean age was 41 ± 15.3 standard deviation, and 69% of the participants were female. Fifty-one percent were diagnosed with neurogenic OAB. A median response time to onabotulinumtoxin A injection of 7 days was demonstrated, and patients who responded during the first 7 days post procedure were considered early responders. Independent predictors for late response include diabetes (Relative risk: 3.89, P = 0.018, and 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.26-11.98), >1 BTX-A session (Relative risk: 4, P = 0.011, and 95% CI: 1.38-11.6), and wet OAB (RR: 9.94, P = 0.002, and 95% CI: 2.31-42.17). Conclusions The median time of onset post intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin A was found to be 7 days. Diabetes mellitus, wet OAB, and <1 Botox sessions were independent risk factors for late onset of response.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intravesical botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections for the treatment of pediatric overactive bladder (OAB) by exploring the differential treatment outcomes in children with different OAB etiologies and those who received additional intrasphincteric BoNT-A injections. We performed a retrospective review of all pediatric patients who received intravesical BoNT-A injections between January 2002 and December 2021. All patients underwent a urodynamic study at baseline and three months after BoNT-A administration. A Global Response Assessment (GRA) score of ≥2 at three months after BoNT-A injection was defined as successful treatment. Fifteen pediatric patients (median age, 11 years), including six boys and nine girls, were enrolled in the study. A statistically significant decrease in detrusor pressure from baseline to three months postoperatively was observed. Thirteen (86.7%) patients reported successful results (GRA ≥ 2). The cause of OAB and additional intrasphincteric BoNT-A injections did not affect the improvement in urodynamic parameters and treatment success. The study demonstrated that intravesical BoNT-A injection is effective and safe for the treatment of neurogenic and non-neurogenic OAB in children refractory to conventional therapies. Additionally, intrasphincteric BoNT-A injections do not provide additional benefits in the treatment of pediatric OAB.

Intravesical Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A in Men without Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Post-Deobstructive Prostate Surgery. Toxins (Basel) 2023; 15:toxins15030221. [PMID: 36977112 PMCID: PMC10057732 DOI: 10.3390/toxins15030221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: A significant proportion of men without bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) have been reported to have overactive bladders (OAB). This article aimed to review the specific group of reports on the use of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections into the bladder wall. Materials and methods: Original articles reporting men with small prostates without BOO were identified through a literature search using the PubMed and EMBASE databases. Finally, we included 18 articles that reviewed the efficacy and adverse effects of BTX-A injections in men. Results: Of the 18 articles screened, 13 demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of BTX-A injections in men. Three studies compared BTX-A injection response between patients without prior prostate surgery and those undergoing prior prostate surgery, including transurethral resection of the prostate and radical prostatectomy (RP). Patients with prior RP experienced better efficacy and had a low risk of side effects. Two studies focused on patients who had undergone prior surgery for stress urinary incontinence, including male sling and artificial urethral sphincter surgery. The BTX-A injection was a safe and effective procedure for this specific group. OAB in men was found to have a different pathophysiology mechanism from that in female patients, which may decrease the efficacy of BTX-A injection in men. However, patients with small prostates and low prostate-specific antigen levels demonstrated better efficacy and tolerability after BTX-A injection. Conclusions: Although intravesical injection of BTX-A was a good option for controlling refractory OAB in men, the evidence-based guidelines are still limited. Further research is necessary to better understand the role of BTX-A injections on various aspects and histories. Therefore, treating patients using strategies tailored to their individual conditions is important.

Abstract
Background: Urinary incontinence is a prevalent form of pelvic floor dysfunction, with a non-negligible impact on a patient’s quality of life. There are several treatment options, varying from conservative to invasive. The aim of this study is to predict treatment outcomes of pure or predominant urge urinary incontinence (UUI) in women to support shared decision-making and manage patient expectations. Methods: Data on patient characteristics, disease history, and investigations of 512 consecutive women treated for UUI in three hospitals in the Netherlands were retrospectively collected. The predicted outcome was the short-term subjective continence outcome, defined as patient-reported continence 3 months after treatment categorized as cure (no urinary leakage), improvement (any degree of improvement of urinary leakage), and failure (no improvement or worsening of urinary leakage). Multivariable ordinal regression with backward stepwise selection was performed to analyze association between outcome and patient’s characteristics. Interactions between patient characteristics and treatment were added to estimate individual treatment benefit. Discriminative ability was assessed with the ordinal c-statistic. Results: Conservative treatment was applied in 12% of the patients, pharmacological in 62%, and invasive in 26%. Subjective continence outcome was cure, improvement, and failure in 20%, 49%, and 31%, respectively. Number of incontinence episodes per day, voiding frequency during the day, subjective quantity of UI, coexistence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), night incontinence, and bladder capacity and the interactions between these variables were included in the model. After internal validation, the ordinal c-statistic was 0.699. Conclusions: Six variables were of value to predict pure or predominant UUI treatment outcome in women. Further development into a comprehensive set of models for the use in various pelvic floor disorders and treatments is recommended to optimize individualized care. This model requires external validation before implementation in clinical practice.

Abstract
Introduction Men and women living with overactive bladder (OAB) face many treatment decisions as they progress through the treatment pathway. Decisions to pursue specific therapies are highly preference sensitive and ideal for shared decision making (SDM). The aim of this narrative review is to provide urologists with a practical summary of methods to elicit preferences and facilitate SDM to promote patient‐centered care for OAB. Methods We explore OAB as a preference sensitive condition through a review of treatment outcomes and present available data on prediction tools, patient preferences, and decision aids. We propose a paradigm for applying Everyday SDM to OAB care. Results Clinical outcome data points to equipoise (balanced outcomes) between options for first‐, second‐, and third‐line OAB therapies, making OAB preference sensitive and appropriate for SDM. Methods to personalize care through individualized outcome prediction calculators and tools to elicit patient preferences are emerging. While patient information about OAB is readily available, we identified few OAB decision aids that facilitate patient preference elicitation and SDM. Conclusions OAB is a preference sensitive condition, where treatment is largely based on the patient's preferences and values. SDM is an ideal approach to supporting patients through these treatment decisions. We propose the application of Everyday SDM, a personalized, clinically efficient methodology as a method to support patient‐centered OAB care.

Abstract
Background Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent syndrome affecting 11% to 16% of the adult population. When first-line pharmacological therapy is not effective, intradetrusorial injections of onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) might have an important role in controlling symptoms. The main aim of this study was to access both the efficacy and safety of intradetrusor injections of 100U BTX-A in real clinical practice, among women with idiopathic OAB (iOAB). Methods Retrospective study, based on clinical diaries in 136 iOAB female patients, with or without urinary incontinence, submitted to BTX-A injections, between 2005 and 2018 in a tertiary university hospital. Positive response was considered only when the patient mentioned she had great improvement after the injection, otherwise, it was considered negative. Results A positive response was obtained in 90 patients (66%) after the first injection. Women with a positive response after the first treatment had 7.5 times more chances to improve with the second (P = .01). Discontinuation of the therapy after the first injection was neither dependent on the presence of incontinence at baseline (P = .73) nor it was related to age (P = .6). On univariate analyses, none of the parameters evaluated was useful of predicting successful response, although there was a trend in women who had had a previous midurethral sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence, to have a lower chance of having a positive response after the first injection (P = .06).Thirty-nine women (29%) had at least 1 adverse event, urinary tract infection, and straining to void were the most frequent. Women above 65 years old had less risk of developing a urinary tract infection (P = .04). Conclusion In real clinical practice, BTX-A injection is an effective (66%) and safe treatment, capable of improving quality of life. Moreover, responding to the first injection seems to predict good clinical outcomes in the second treatment. This procedure can be done with minimal restrictions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by urgency and frequency with (OAB wet) or without (OAB dry) urge urinary incontinence (UUI). In the phase 3 EMPOWUR trial, vibegron-a selective β 3-adrenergic receptor agonist for the treatment of OAB-significantly improved daily number of urgency episodes and micturitions vs. placebo (P < 0.01). These post hoc analyses aimed to compare the efficacy of vibegron vs. placebo in OAB dry and wet populations. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned 5:5:4 to receive once-daily vibegron 75 mg, placebo, or tolterodine 4 mg extended release, respectively, for 12 weeks. Baseline criteria for OAB dry included an average of ≥8 micturitions, ≥3 urgency episodes, and <1 UUI episode per diary day and for OAB wet included an average of ≥8 micturitions and ≥1 UUI episode per diary day. Change from baseline in mean daily number of urgency episodes and micturitions was assessed in both populations. RESULTS Of the 1463 patients included in the full analysis set, 336 (23%) had OAB dry (vibegron, N = 123; placebo, N = 115; and tolterodine, N = 98), and 1127 (77%) had OAB wet (vibegron, N = 403; placebo, N = 405; and tolterodine, N = 319). Vibegron was associated with significant reductions (95% CIs of the least squares mean differences [LSMD] does not include 0) from baseline at week 12 vs. placebo in mean daily urgency episodes for the dry (LSMD [95% CI], ‒1.0 [‒2.0, ‒0.1]) and wet (‒0.6 [‒1.0, ‒0.1]) populations. Vibegron was associated with significant reductions from baseline at week 12 vs. placebo in mean daily micturitions for the dry (LSMD [95% CI], ‒0.8 [‒1.5, ‒ 0.1]) and wet (‒0.5 [‒0.8, ‒0.1]) populations. There were no significant differences in either outcome between tolterodine and placebo for either the dry or wet populations in this study. CONCLUSIONS In this subgroup analysis from the EMPOWUR trial, vibegron was associated with significant reductions compared with placebo in urgency episodes and micturitions in both the OAB dry and wet populations, suggesting that vibegron is similarly efficacious for these endpoints in patients with and without UUI. This trial is registered with NCT03492281.

Abstract
AIMS Develop models to predict outcomes after intradetrusor injection of 100 or 200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA in women with non-neurogenic urgency urinary incontinence (UUI). METHODS Models were developed using 307 women from two randomized trials assessing efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA for non-neurogenic UUI. Cox, linear and logistic regression models were fit using: (1) time to recurrence over 12 months, (2) change from baseline daily UUI episodes (UUIE) at 6 months, and (3) need for self-catheterization over 6 months. Model discrimination of Cox and logistic regression models was calculated using c-index. Mean absolute error determined accuracy of the linear model. Calibration was demonstrated using calibration curves. All models were internally validated using bootstrapping. RESULTS Median time to recurrence was 6 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2-12) months. Increasing age, 200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA, higher body mass index (BMI) and baseline UUIE were associated with decreased time to recurrence. The c-index was 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59, 0.67). Median change in daily UUIE from baseline at 6 months was -3.5 (IQR: -5.0, -2.3). Increasing age, lower baseline UUIE, 200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA, higher BMI and IIQ-SF were associated with less improvement in UUIE. The mean absolute error predicting change in UUIE was accurate to 1.6 (95% CI: 1.5, 1.7) UUI episodes. The overall rate of self-catheterization was 17.6% (95% CI: 13.6%-22.4%). Lower BMI, 200 units of onabotulinumtoxinA, increased baseline postvoid residual and maximum capacity were associated with higher risk of self-catheterization. The c-index was 0.66 (95% CI: 0.61, 0.76). The three calculators are available at http://riskcalc.duke.edu. CONCLUSIONS After external validation, these models will assist clinicians in providing more accurate estimates of expected treatment outcomes after onabotulinumtoxinA for non-neurogenic UUI in women.

Abstract
Background: Botulinum toxin is an injectable neuromodulator that inhibits transmission between peripheral nerve endings and muscle fibers, resulting in muscle paralysis. Botulinum toxin type A is the most common form of botulinum toxin used in clinical practice. Methods: In this review, we examine the mechanism of action, formulations, common clinical use in the genital-urinary tract, and potential clinical use in pelvic floor disorders of botulinum toxin type A. Results: Several aspects of botulinum toxin A make it a favorable therapeutic tool, including its accessibility, its longevity, and its impermanence and reversibility of resultant chemodenervation in a relatively short and safe manner. Although botulinum toxin A has well-established efficacy in treating refractory overactive bladder and neurogenic detrusor overactivity, its use in pelvic floor disorders is still in its infancy. Conclusion: The efficacy of botulinum toxin A for treating pelvic pain, voiding dysfunction, muscle pain and dysfunction, and certain colorectal-related pain issues shows promise but requires additional rigorous evaluation.

Patient-reported outcomes in the setting of a randomized control trial on the efficacy of transcutaneous stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve compared to percutaneous stimulation in idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome. Neurourol Urodyn 2020; 40:295-302. [PMID: 33118624 DOI: 10.1002/nau.24554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
AIM To compare the efficacy of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) regarding patient-reported outcomes measures, specifically quality-of-life (QoL) improvement and patient's treatment benefit, on symptoms associated with overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS Patients with refractory OAB symptoms and detrusor overactivity were randomized to receive TTNS or PTNS for 12 weeks. Data from self-report OAB questionnaire short form (q-SF) and incontinence (I)-QoL questionnaires were collected pretreatment and at Weeks 6 and 12. Patients' self-perceived benefits on symptoms (treatment benefit scale, TBS) were also gathered. Mean change in scores within and between groups were estimated. RESULTS Sixty-eight adult patients (67.6% women) were included in the intention to treat analysis. Of those, 61 completed all questionnaires and were analyzed as per protocol. Statistically significant improvements in OAB-q-SF and I-QoL between baseline and end-of-treatment scores were observed in both TTNS and PTNS groups (p < .001), being the differences much higher than the minimal important difference in both questionnaires. The scores of the OAB-q-SF scales (symptoms bother and health-related QoL) showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Similarly, the differences regarding the I-QoL questionnaire were statistically nonsignificant either (p = .607). When assessing the treatment benefit on symptoms, TBS responses between groups showed no statistical differences. CONCLUSION A significant improvement of QoL was observed in both TTNS and PTNS groups. However, no patient-reported outcomes measures scores support a difference between the two groups. Therefore, these findings along with TTNS ease of application and less invasiveness may lead to an increased indication of this technique for OAB.

Predictors of Poor Response and Adverse Events Following Botulinum Toxin A for Refractory Idiopathic Overactive Bladder: A Systematic Review. Eur Urol Focus 2020; 7:1448-1467. [PMID: 32616412 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2020.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections are effective in managing refractory overactive bladder (OAB). However, some patients exhibit a poor response and/or experience adverse events (AEs) such as voiding dysfunction necessitating clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) and urinary tract infections (UTIs). OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate whether poor response/AEs to BTX-A for idiopathic OAB are predictable. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar database were searched in March 2020. Studies reporting predictive factors for poor response or AEs were included. Two reviewers independently screened articles, searched references, and extracted data. Risk of bias (Quality in Prognosis Studies [QUIPS]) and quality of evidence (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation [GRADE]) tools were utilised. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Of 1579 articles, 17 met the inclusion criteria. These were cohort studies with predominantly level 3 evidence. Factors including male gender, frailty, comorbidity, increasing age, smoking, baseline leakage episodes, and various urodynamic parameters (bladder outlet obstruction index [BOOI], high pretreatment maximum detrusor pressure, and poor bladder compliance) were proposed as predictors of nonresponse. In predicting CISC use, male gender, comorbidity, increasing age, number of vaginal deliveries, hysterectomy, and urodynamic parameters (bladder capacity, postvoid residual volume, projected isovolumetric pressure value, bladder contractility index, and BOOI) were implicated. Female gender, males with their prostates in situ, and CISC were suggested to increase UTIs after BTX-A. CONCLUSIONS This review has identified factors that may predict poor response/AEs following bladder BTX-A and help in counselling of patients. Overall, the quality of individual studies included was poor, limiting the certainty of evidence reported. Larger-scale, better-designed trials with uniform definitions of poor response are required to confirm these preliminary findings. PATIENT SUMMARY This review assessed whether we could predict poor response or side effects to bladder botulinum toxin A injections in managing overactive bladder. Many different factors based on the patient, medical conditions, previous surgery, and pretreatment investigations were identified. However, the quality of included studies was generally poor, limiting their conclusions.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this review is to offer an update for medical providers practicing general urology and urogynecology in evolving and new promising technologies for neuromodulation in patients with OAB. Patients and Methods A focused literature search for the years 2015 through 2019 was conducted on PubMed/Medline for the terms: “new techniques” AND “neuromodulation” AND “tibial nerve stimulation” AND “overactive bladder”. We limited our search to publications in English, for the last five years and with patient follow-up of at least 3 months. Results Clinical success, safety based on adverse events, and quality of life improvement criteria were evaluated and compared to sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) devices and older, non-implantable percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) treatment devices. Considering the limited number of participants with up to 6 months follow-up data currently available, overall the clinical response rates suggest that the new implantable devices stimulating the tibial nerve have a promising clinical outlook, are less invasive upon implantation than SNS, less expensive, and less of a burden on patients compared to the older non-implantable PTNS devices. Conclusion Practicing urologists should be aware of this new treatment option when counseling their patients regarding treatment for OAB.

Abstract
After decades of clinical and basic science research, the clinical application of botulinum toxin A (Botox) in urology has been extended to neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), idiopathic detrusor overactivity, refractory overactive bladder (OAB), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), lower urinary tract symptoms, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and neurogenic or non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in children. Botox selectively disrupts and modulates neurotransmission, suppresses detrusor overactivity, and modulates sensory function, inflammation, and glandular function. In addition to motor effects, Botox has been found to have sensory inhibitory effects and anti-inflammatory effects; therefore, it has been used to treat IC/BPS and OAB. Currently, Botox has been approved for the treatment of NDO and OAB. Recent clinical trials on Botox for the treatment of IC/BPS have reported promising therapeutic effects, including reduced bladder pain. Additionally, the therapeutic duration was found to be longer with repeated Botox injections than with a single injection. However, the use of Botox for IC/BPS has not been approved. This paper reviews the recent advances in intravesical Botox treatment for OAB and IC/BPS.

Prediction of urinary retention after surgery for rectal cancer using voiding efficiency in the 24 h following Foley catheter removal. Int J Colorectal Dis 2019; 34:1431-1443.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative urinary retention is a common adverse effect after rectal surgery. Current methods for assessing postoperative urinary retention (residual urine volume) are inaccurate and unable to predict long-term retention. Voiding efficiency is an effective indicator of postoperative urinary retention in urological and gynaecological fields, but not in colorectal surgery. We aimed to determine whether voiding efficiency in the initial 24 h after urinary catheter removal was more effective in predicting the incidence of postoperative urinary retention than residual urine volume. METHODS In this retrospective, observational study using prospectively collected data from patients who visited the colorectal department of a single institution, 549 patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery between April 2012 and May 2016 were initially enrolled, of which 46 were excluded and 503 finally included. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative urinary retention was 18.5% (93/503). Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that the association of postoperative urinary retention with voiding efficiency < 50% was stronger than that with residual urine volume > 100 mL (odds ratio, 38.30 (residual urine volume) and 138.0 (voiding efficiency)). Voiding efficiency was significantly lower in patients with long-term than in those with short-term postoperative urinary retention (adjusted p value = 0.02), whereas residual urine volume was not different between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis for long-term postoperative urinary retention showed the strongest association with voiding efficiency < 20% (odds ratio, 25.70). CONCLUSIONS Voiding efficiency is a more effective predictor of postoperative urinary retention than residual urine volume in rectal cancer patients.

Urodynamic and Bladder Diary Factors Predict Overactive Bladder-wet in Women: A Comparison With Overactive Bladder-dry. Int Neurourol J 2019; 23:69-74.

Abstract
Purpose To identify factors predicting the presence of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB)-wet, compared with OAB-dry. Methods Between September 2007 and September 2013, the medical records of 623 women with OAB who completed a 3-day bladder diary and underwent urodynamic studies in a medical center were retrospectively reviewed. OAB-wet was diagnosed in patients who complained of at least one episode of urgency incontinence in the previous month; otherwise, OAB-dry was diagnosed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to predict the presence of OAB-wet. Results Age (odds ratio [OR], 1.05; P<0.001), maximal flow rate (Qmax) (OR,1.06; P<0.001), voided volume (OR, 0.996; P=0.001), detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate (PdetQmax) (OR, 1.02; P=0.003), urgency episodes (OR, 1.04; P<0.001) and urodynamic stress incontinence (OR,1.78; P=0.01) were independent predictors for the presence of OAB-wet vs. OAB-dry. If we use bladder contractility index as a variable for multivariable logistic regression analysis, bladder contractility index (OR, 1.012; P<0.001) become an independent predictor for OAB-wet. Conclusions A smaller bladder capacity and more frequent urgency episodes were predictors of OAB-wet, and the above findings indicate that OAB-wet and OAB-dry might be a continuum of OAB. Old age, high Qmax, high PdetQmax and urodynamic stress incontinence were also predictors for OAB-wet, and the above results reveal that OAB-wet and OAB-dry have partially different clinical and urodynamic features. Further studies might be performed to elucidate whether different treatment strategies between OAB-dry and OAB-wet can improve treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is highly prevalent in both men and women and might have negative impact on quality of life. Clinical trials of OAB usually highly select participants that may not reflect the real-world practice of OAB patients. The spectrum of OAB includes patients with idiopathic, neuropathic, with bladder outlet obstruction, and patients in elderly and medical comorbidities. Patients might have poor response to OAB medication or have adverse events after treatment. Therefore, treatment of OAB should be individualized to obtain therapeutic efficacy and avoid unacceptable adverse events. This article reviews the recently published literature and provides a guide for physicians to choose the appropriate treatment for different OAB patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to identify clinical and demographic characteristics associated with treatment response and satisfaction in women undergoing onabotulinumtoxinA and sacral neuromodulation therapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed data from the ROSETTA (Refractory Overactive Bladder: Sacral NEuromodulation versus BoTulinum Toxin Assessment) trial. Baseline participant characteristics and clinical variables were associated with 2 definitions of treatment response, including 1) a reduction in mean daily urgency incontinence episodes during 6 months and 2) a 50% or greater decrease in urgency incontinence episodes across 6 months. The OAB-S (Overactive Bladder-Satisfaction) questionnaire was used to assess satisfaction. RESULTS A greater reduction in mean daily urgency incontinence episodes was associated with higher HUI-3 (Health Utility Index-3) scores in the onabotulinumtoxinA group and higher baseline incontinence episodes (each p <0.001) in the 2 groups. Increased age was associated with a lesser decrease in incontinence episodes in the 2 groups (p <0.001). Increasing body mass index (adjusted OR 0.82/5 points, 95% CI 0.70-0.96) was associated with reduced achievement of a 50% or greater decrease in incontinence episodes after each treatment. Greater age (adjusted OR 0.44/10 years, 95% CI 0.30-0.65) and a higher functional comorbidity index (adjusted OR 0.84/1 point, 95% CI 0.71-0.99) were associated with reduced achievement of a 50% or greater decrease in urgency incontinence episodes in the onabotulinumtoxinA group only (p <0.001 and 0.041, respectively). In the onabotulinumtoxinA group increased satisfaction was noted with higher HUI-3 score (p = 0.002) but there was less satisfaction with higher age (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Older women with multiple comorbidities, and decreased functional and health related quality of life had decreased treatment response and satisfaction with onabotulinumtoxinA compared to sacral neuromodulation for refractory urgency incontinence.

The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting large post-void residual (PVR) (defined as ≥200 mL), an important unsolved problem, after an intravesical injection of onabotulinumtoxinA in patients with overactive bladder syndrome. The data showed that 133 of 290 patients had a large PVR after treatment. Multivariate analysis found that the baseline 3-day daytime frequency episodes and voiding efficiency were independent predictors for postoperative large PVR. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed the following optimum cut-off values: (1) 3-day daytime frequency episodes = 25, which has a ROC area of 0.72; and (2) voiding efficiency = 89%, which has a ROC area being 0.66. The predicted logit transformation of probability of large PVR, logit(p), for a given 3-day daytime frequency episodes (a) and voiding efficiency (b%) can be denoted by logit(p) = -5.18 + 0.07 × a + 0.04 × b, with a cutoff value of logit(p) = 0.34 and a ROC area of 0.79. The median value of the persistent large PVR interval was 5 months. In conclusion, low 3-day daytime frequency episodes (<25) and low voiding efficiency (<89%) are associated with large PVR. Besides, logit(p) <0.34 can be used to predict large PVR for its higher ROC area.
