Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: Overactive bladder (OAB) affects 11-17% of the female population. First-line treatment with lifestyle modifications and second-line therapy with medications are often limited by inadequate efficacy or pharmacological side effects. This study was aimed at assessing the effect of 100 U onabotulinumtoxin A treatment on idiopathic OAB (iOAB) as a second-line treatment.
Methods: This prospective follow-up study involved 94 women who received onabotulinumtoxin A treatment at a dose of 100 U as a second-line treatment for iOAB at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oulu University Hospital, Finland, between May 2018 and December 2023. The impact of the treatment on iOAB symptoms was evaluated 3 months after administration using self-reported symptoms and the following internationally validated questionnaires: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6). Postoperative complications were assessed.
Results: The follow-up data were obtained from 74 (78%) patients, of whom 66 (95.7%) reported a good outcome and 3 (4.3%) reported a poor outcome. Incontinence episodes, the number of incontinence pads needed, and daily micturitions were significantly reduced. For all questionnaires, the total scores decreased significantly after the treatment (VAS 8.27 ± 1.78 vs 3.50 ± 3.08, p < 0.001; IIQ-7 72.14 ± 20.55 vs 28.73 ± 29.40, p < 0.001; UDI-6 55.01 ± 18.86 vs 29.66 ± 22.03, p < 0.001). Postoperative urinary tract infection occurred in 9 patients (9.6%), whereas urinary retention occurred in 6 patients (6.4%).
Conclusions: Onabotulinumtoxin A (100 U) demonstrates good effectiveness in the second-line treatment of female iOAB.
简介与假设:膀胱过动症(OAB)影响11-17%的女性人群。改变生活方式的一线治疗和药物治疗的二线治疗往往受到疗效不足或药理学副作用的限制。本研究旨在评估100 U肉毒杆菌毒素A治疗特发性OAB (iOAB)作为二线治疗的效果。方法:这项前瞻性随访研究纳入了94名女性,她们于2018年5月至2023年12月在芬兰奥卢大学医院妇产科接受了100 U剂量的肉毒杆菌毒素A治疗,作为iOAB的二线治疗。治疗对iOAB症状的影响在给药3个月后通过自我报告症状和以下国际认可的问卷进行评估:视觉模拟量表(VAS)、尿失禁影响问卷(IIQ-7)和泌尿生殖窘迫量表(UDI-6)。评估术后并发症。结果:74例(78%)患者获得随访资料,其中66例(95.7%)预后良好,3例(4.3%)预后不良。尿失禁发作次数、所需尿失禁垫数量和每日排尿次数均显著减少。治疗后,所有问卷的总分均显著下降(VAS: 8.27±1.78 vs 3.50±3.08,p)。结论:onabotulintoxin A (100 U)在女性iOAB的二线治疗中具有良好的疗效。
期刊介绍:
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
