Methods A Markov model was created to compare the cost-effectiveness of early sling loosening (2 weeks) versus delayed sling lysis (6 weeks) for the management of persisting voiding dysfunction/retention after midurethral sling placement. A literature review provided rates of resolution of voiding dysfunction with conservative management, complications, recurrent stress urinary incontinence, or ongoing retention, as well as quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Costs were based on 2020 Medicare reimbursement rates. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were compared using a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000/QALY. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. Results At 1 year, early sling loosening resulted in increased costs ($3,575 vs $1,836) and higher QALYs (0.948 vs 0.925) compared with delayed sling lysis. This translated to early sling loosening being the most cost-effective strategy, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $74,382/QALY. The model was sensitive to multiple variables on our 1-way sensitivity analysis. For example, delayed sling lysis became cost-effective if the rate of voiding dysfunction resolution with conservative management was greater than or equal to 57% or recurrent stress urinary incontinence after early loosening was greater than or equal to 9.6%. At a willingness-to-pay threshold of 100,000/QALY, early sling loosening was cost-effective in 82% of microsimulations in probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Conclusions Early sling loosening represents a more cost-effective management method in resolving ongoing voiding dysfunction after sling placement. These findings may favor early clinical management in patients with voiding dysfunction after midurethral sling placement.","PeriodicalId":48831,"journal":{"name":"Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"28 1","pages":"e103 - e107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46686830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods This prospective cohort study enrolled women presenting for their initial urogynecology visit. Before and after the visit, patients completed the Control Preference Scale (CPS), which categorizes the role that patients want to have in medical decision-making: active, collaborative, or passive. Patients also completed the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory, CollaboRATE, Patient Global Impression of Improvement, patient satisfaction, and Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults questionnaires. Univariable and multivariable generalized estimating equations were used. Results Women (n = 100) with a mean age of 59.1 years (SD = 15.5) participated in the study. Based on CPS before the visit, 50% of the women preferred active involvement, whereas 45% preferred collaborative and 5% preferred passive involvement. After the visit, these rates change to 40%, 48%, and 11%, respectively. On univariable analysis, women were 1.56 times more likely to report a collaborative or passive CPS response after the visit (P = 0.02). This remained true on multivariable analysis (odds ratio, 1.57; P = 0.04). Patients' CPS responses were not associated with their responses on CollaboRATE, Patient Global Impression of Improvement, patient satisfaction, or Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults.

Our aim was to compare preoperative and postoperative characteristics and 30-day outcomes, including intraoperative complications, for patients undergoing benign vaginal hysterectomy under GA versus RA. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy for benign indications between 2015 and 2019 using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients were identified using Current Procedural Terminology codes and stratified into GA and RA groups. Propensity score matching was performed to account for selection bias between anesthesia groups. Results Of 18,030 vaginal hysterectomies performed during this study period, 17,472 (96.9%) were performed under GA and 558 (3.1%) under RA. The RA group was older, more likely to be White, and more likely to have a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic steroid use (P < 0.01 for all); they were less likely to be discharged the same day (8.6% vs 12.2%, P = 0.01). In the matched cohort, there were similar proportions of major, minor, and composite complications between RA and GA groups (major: odds ratio [OR], 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.51–1.78; minor: OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.74–1.88; composite: OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.75–1.64). Similar proportions of same-day discharge were observed (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.47–1.10).

Secondary outcomes included unexpected admission rates, analgesic usage, time to discharge, and pain. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study including women who underwent outpatient midurethral sling placement from 2015 to 2019. Exclusion criteria included suprapubic catheter placement, planned overnight admission, abnormal preoperative postvoid residual volume, and prolonged postoperative catheterization. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate gabapentin usage and urinary retention after adjusting for patient characteristics. Results Three hundred two women met the inclusion criteria, with 19.5% experiencing urinary retention after midurethral sling placement.

Of treated participants, 26% had urinary retention versus 18% of untreated participants (P = 0.162).

Study Design In this randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial, patients discharged with a catheter after pelvic reconstructive surgery were approached to participate. Participants were randomized to receive cranberry with methenamine or cranberry with placebo. Primary outcome was number of UTIs treated within 1 week after surgery. Secondary outcomes included incidence of UTIs treated within 6 weeks postoperatively, bacterial species on culture, urinary pH, catheter duration, patient adherence, and satisfaction. A sample size of 88 participants per arm was planned. Results From June 2019 to July 2021, 185 patients were randomized and 182 analyzed; 89 received placebo and 93 received methenamine. Both groups were similar.
