Project description:ImportanceThere is concern about outcomes of midurethral mesh sling insertion for women with stress urinary incontinence. However, there is little evidence on long-term outcomes.ObjectiveTo examine long-term mesh removal and reoperation rates in women who had a midurethral mesh sling insertion for stress urinary incontinence.Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based retrospective cohort study included 95 057 women aged 18 years or older who had a first-ever midurethral mesh sling insertion for stress urinary incontinence in the National Health Service hospitals in England between April 1, 2006, and December 31, 2015. Women were followed up until April 1, 2016.ExposuresPatient and hospital factors and retropubic or transobturator mesh sling insertions.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was the risk of midurethral mesh sling removal (partial or total) and secondary outcomes were reoperation for stress urinary incontinence and any reoperation including mesh removal, calculated with death as competing risk. A multivariable Fine-Gray model was used to calculate subdistribution hazard ratios as estimates of relative risk.ResultsThe study population consisted of 95 057 women (median age, 51 years; interquartile range, 44-61 years) with first midurethral mesh sling insertion, including 60 194 with retropubic insertion and 34 863 with transobturator insertion. The median follow-up time was 5.5 years (interquartile range, 3.2-7.5 years). The rate of midurethral mesh sling removal was 1.4% (95% CI, 1.3%-1.4%) at 1 year, 2.7% (95% CI, 2.6%-2.8%) at 5 years, and 3.3% (95% CI, 3.2%-3.4%) at 9 years. Risk of removal declined with age. The 9-year removal risk after transobturator insertion (2.7% [95% CI, 2.4%-2.9%]) was lower than the risk after retropubic insertion (3.6% [95% CI, 3.5%-3.8%]; subdistribution hazard ratio, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.62-0.84]). The rate of reoperation for stress urinary incontinence was 1.3% (95% CI, 1.3%-1.4%) at 1 year, 3.5% (95% CI, 3.4%-3.6%) at 5 years, and 4.5% (95% CI, 4.3%-4.7%) at 9 years. The rate of any reoperation, including mesh removal, was 2.6% (95% CI, 2.5%-2.7%) at 1 year, 5.5% (95% CI, 5.4%-5.7%) at 5 years, and 6.9% (95% CI, 6.7%-7.1%) at 9 years.Conclusions and relevanceAmong women undergoing midurethral mesh sling insertion, the rate of mesh sling removal at 9 years was estimated as 3.3%. These findings may guide women and their surgeons when making decisions about surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Project description:PurposeWe determined the clinicodemographic factors associated with complications of continence procedures, the impact of concomitant surgery on the complication rate and the relationship between the incidence of cystitis and the method of postoperative bladder drainage.Materials and methodsWe reviewed serious adverse events and adverse events in the Stress Incontinence Surgical Efficacy Trial, a randomized trial comparing Burch colposuspension to the autologous rectus fascial sling. Clinicodemographic variables were analyzed to determine those associated with adverse events using logistic regression analysis. Complications were stratified based on the presence or absence of concomitant surgery. Differences in complication rates (controlling for concomitant surgery) and cystitis rates (controlling for the bladder emptying method) were compared using Fisher's exact test.ResultsBlood loss (p = 0.0002) and operative time (p <0.0001) were significantly associated with an adverse event. Patients who underwent concomitant surgery had a significantly higher serious adverse event rate (14.2% vs 7.3%, p = 0.01) and adverse event rate (60.5% vs 48%, p <0.01) than patients who underwent continence surgery alone. Cystitis rates were higher in the sling vs the Burch group up to 6 weeks postoperatively regardless of concomitant surgery status (p <0.01). Intermittent self-catheterization increased the cystitis rate by 17% and 23% in the Burch and sling groups, respectively.ConclusionsConcomitant surgery at continence surgery increased the risk of complications. Sling surgery was associated with a higher risk of cystitis within the first 6 weeks postoperatively. Intermittent self-catheterization increased the risk of cystitis in each group. Complications were associated with surgical factors and not with patient related factors.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate characteristics associated with treatment failure 1 year after midurethral sling in women with mixed urinary incontinence.MethodsFour hundred three women who participated in a randomized trial that compared midurethral sling and behavioral and pelvic floor muscle therapy (combined group) against midurethral sling alone for mixed incontinence with 1 year of follow-up data were eligible for this planned secondary analysis. Overall treatment failure was defined as meeting criteria for subjective failure, objective failure, or both. Subjective failure was defined as not meeting the minimal clinically important difference for improvement on the UDI (Urogenital Distress Inventory)-total score (26.1 points). Objective failure was not achieving 70% improvement on mean incontinence episodes of any type per day or having undergone any additional treatment for urinary symptoms at 12 months postoperative. Logistic regression models for treatment failure were constructed. Independent variables included site and treatment group, and clinical and demographic variables based on bivariate comparisons (P<.2). Treatment group interaction effects were evaluated.ResultsPrevious overactive bladder medication use (unadjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.19, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.89, 95% CI 1.10-3.25), detrusor overactivity on cystometrogram (OR 2.25, aOR 2.72, 95% CI 1.53-4.84), body mass index (OR 1.29, aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.03-1.57), and Valsalva leak point pressure less than 60 cm H2O (OR 1.96, aOR 3.13, 95% CI 1.65-5.94) were associated with overall failure. Worse UDI urgency scores were associated with failure in the midurethral sling-alone group. Sling type (retropubic vs transobturator) was not associated with failure.ConclusionCertain clinical and urodynamic variables are associated with treatment failure after midurethral sling among women with mixed urinary incontinence. Women with more severe urgency symptoms at baseline may benefit from perioperative behavioral and pelvic floor muscle therapy combined with midurethral sling. This information is helpful for counseling women with mixed incontinence who are considering surgery.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01959347.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate characteristics associated with treatment failure 1 year after midurethral sling in women with mixed urinary incontinence.MethodsFour-hundred three women who participated in a randomized trial that compared midurethral sling and behavioral and pelvic floor muscle therapy (combined group) compared with midurethral sling alone for mixed incontinence with 1-year follow-up data were eligible for this planned secondary analysis. Overall treatment failure was defined as meeting criteria for subjective or objective failure or both. Subjective failure was defined as not meeting the minimal clinical important difference for improvement on the UDI (Urogenital Distress Inventory) total score (26.1 points). Objective failure was defined as not achieving 70% improvement on mean incontinence episodes of any type per day or having undergone any additional treatment for persistent urinary symptoms at 12 months postoperative. Logistic regression models for treatment failure were constructed. Independent variables included site and treatment group, and clinical and demographic variables based on bivariate comparisons (P<.2). Treatment group interaction effects were evaluated.ResultsOne hundred twelve of 379 (29.6%) women had overall treatment failure, with 56 of 379 (14.7%) undergoing additional treatment but only two needing intervention for stress incontinence. Previous overactive bladder (OAB) medication (unadjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.19, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.96, 95% CI 1.17-3.31); detrusor overactivity on cystometrogram (OR 2.25, aOR 2.82, 95% CI 1.60-4.97); and higher volume at first urge (OR 1.03, aOR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07) were associated with overall failure. Worse UDI-urgency scores were associated with failure, with an added interaction effect in the midurethral sling-alone group.ConclusionsCertain clinical and urodynamic variables are associated with treatment failure after midurethral sling in women with mixed urinary incontinence. Women with more severe urgency symptoms at baseline may benefit from perioperative behavioral and pelvic floor muscle therapy combined with midurethral sling. Overall, the need for additional urinary treatment was low and primarily for OAB.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01959347.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify factors that may contribute to patient satisfaction with outcome in women who received retropubic and transobturator midurethral slings.MethodsSatisfaction was assessed 12 months postsurgery as a planned analysis in 597 participants from a multicenter randomized trial comparing retropubic with transobturator midurethral slings using the Incontinence Surgery Satisfaction Questionnaire. Significantly related variables associated with satisfaction in univariable analyses were entered into multivariable logistic regression models to test their independent association with satisfaction.ResultsOne year after surgery, 264 (88.6%) in the retropubic group and 263 (88.0%) in the transobturator group completed satisfaction questionnaires. Both treatment groups demonstrated a high level of satisfaction with respect to urine leakage (retropubic 85.9% compared with transobturator 90.0%; P=.52), urgency to urinate, frequency of urination, capability of physical activity, social activity, ability to engage in sexual activity, and from an emotional standpoint. Baseline characteristics associated with reduced satisfaction were higher Medical, Epidemiologic, and Social Aspects of Aging Questionnaire urgency subscale scores, detrusor overactivity, and diabetes mellitus. The severity of both objective (frequency of incontinence episodes, pad test weight) and subjective (Incontinence Impact Questionnaire and Urogenital Distress Inventory score) measures of incontinence at baseline and the patients' perceptions of preoperative severity of incontinence and expectations of achieving postoperative cure or improvement were not statistically different between satisfied and unsatisfied patients. In the final multivariable model, satisfaction was associated with overall treatment success (odds ratio [OR] 2.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.29-5.13], greater reduction in Urogenital Distress Inventory (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96-0.98) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire scores (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.98-0.99), and fewer complications (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.30-0.99).ConclusionThe high level of satisfaction seen after midurethral sling procedures is associated with greater objective and patient-perceived improvement of stress incontinence and fewer complications.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00325039.Level of evidenceII.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate research retention of older minority women with urinary incontinence (UI) using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) versus a traditional research approach.MethodsAn ancillary prospective study was conducted within an ongoing pilot randomized clinical trial to treat UI. Participants were recruited using CBPR in collaboration with a local community versus a traditional research approach at an academic center. Inclusion criteria were women 65 years and older and symptomatic UI. The primary outcome was the randomization rate defined as the proportion of women randomized into the randomized clinical trial out of screened participants. Screening and consent rates were also evaluated. Pearson χ2, Fisher exact, and t tests were used. The effect of CBPR on research retention rates was expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsThere were 10 and 88 women screened in the CBPR and traditional research groups, respectively. The CBPR participants were Hispanic (n = 10, 100%) and older (78.4 ± 8.3 years; P < 0.01). Most of the traditional research participants were non-Hispanic Black (n = 55, 62.5%) and younger (71.0 ± 4.9 years). The CBPR group had higher rates of screening (76.9% vs 40.6%; P = 0.01), consent (80% vs 44.3%; P = 0.045), and randomization (50.0% vs 14.8%; P < 0.01) compared with the traditional research group. Community-based participatory research increased the odds of research retention during screening (OR, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.3-18.2), consent (OR, 5.0; 95% CI, 1.0-25.0), and randomization (OR, 5.8; 95% CI, 1.5-22.7).ConclusionCompared with traditional research, CBPR yielded higher research retention among older minority women with UI in a clinical study.

Project description:ObjectivesAlthough midurethral mesh slings are the criterion standard surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), limited data exist regarding long-term outcomes. Thus, our objectives were to evaluate the long-term risk of sling revision and the risk of repeat SUI surgery up to 15 years after the initial sling procedure and to identify predictors of these outcomes.MethodsUsing a population-based cohort of commercially insured individuals in the United States, we identified women aged 18 years or older who underwent a sling procedure between 2001 and 2018. For sling revision, we evaluated indications (mesh exposure or urinary retention). We estimated the cumulative risks of sling revision and repeat SUI surgery annually using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and evaluated predictors using Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsWe identified 334,601 mesh sling surgical procedures. For sling revision, the 10-year and 15-year risks were 6.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.7-7.0) and 7.9% (95% CI, 7.5-8.3), with 48.7% of sling revisions associated with mesh exposure. The 10-year and 15-year risks of repeat SUI surgery were 14.5% (95% CI, 14.2-14.8) and 17.9% (95% CI, 17.3-18.6). Women aged 18-29 years had an elevated risk for both sling revision (hazard ratio, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.15-1.25) and repeat SUI surgery (hazard ratio, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.25-1.37) compared with women 70 years and older.ConclusionsIn our study population, the 15-year risk of sling revision was 7.9%, with nearly half of revisions due to mesh exposure. These findings provide critical long-term data to support informed decisions for women and health care providers considering midurethral mesh slings.

Project description:BackgroundThe urogenital microbiome is associated with urgency and mixed urinary incontinence symptoms and differential treatment responses to pharmacotherapy for urgency urinary incontinence.ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe whether the preoperative urinary and vaginal microbiomes were associated with surgical treatment responses at 12 months after a midurethral sling operation in women with mixed urinary incontinence.Study designThis cohort study compared the preoperative microbiome compositions of urine and vaginal samples from a subset of women undergoing a midurethral sling operation in the Effects of Surgical Treatment Enhanced With Exercise for Mixed Urinary Incontinence trial (NCT01959347) and compared the microbiota in women who were surgical responders vs surgical nonresponders. Twelve-month objective response was defined as a ≥70% reduction from baseline urinary incontinence episodes on a 3-day diary. Subjective response was defined as a change from baseline in the Urogenital Distress Inventory scores. Bacterial abundance and beta diversity were assessed using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. The primary differential abundance analysis described predominant bacterial operational taxonomic units associated with responders vs nonresponders using unadjusted and age-adjusted linear models.ResultsObjective nonresponders (n=28) compared with responders (n=72) were older (58.5±10.7 vs 51.6±10.2 years) and more likely postmenopausal without hormone use (odds ratio, 6.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-22.6). Vaginal and urinary microbiota beta diversities were associated with age (P<.05) for both responders and nonresponders. Overall, predominant operational taxonomic units (genera) were Lactobacillus, Gardnerella, Tepidimonas, Escherichia, Streptococcus, and Prevotella. Operational taxonomic units from baseline urine samples were not significantly associated (P threshold=.05) with surgical treatment responses. A greater abundance of baseline vaginal Lactobacillus was associated with an objective response (P=.04) and Prevotella with an objective nonresponse (P=.01). Adjusting for age, only a greater abundance of baseline vaginal Prevotella was associated with an objective nonresponse (P=.01). Moreover, less abundant vaginal operational taxonomic units were associated with objective and subjective responses and persistent urinary incontinence symptoms (P<.05).ConclusionWomen meeting a 70% reduction of urinary incontinence treatment episodes (objective responders) had greater vaginal Lactobacillus at the time of the surgical procedure; however, controlling for age diminished this association. Women not meeting a 70% reduction of urinary incontinence episodes 1 year after a midurethral sling operation had greater vaginal Prevotella at the time of the midurethral sling operation. Further research is needed to determine whether therapy altering the vaginal microbiome may impact surgical treatment responses in women with mixed urinary incontinence.

Project description:ContextMidurethral slings (MUSs) are the most used therapy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). While warning signals about potential complications have been raised worldwide, there is a lack of safety data especially in the long term.ObjectiveOur objective was to evaluate synthetic MUS safety outcomes at long term in adult women.Evidence acquisitionWe included all studies evaluating MUSs in adult women with SUI. All synthetic MUSs have been considered: tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), transobturator tape (TOT), and mini-slings. The primary outcome was the reoperation rate at 5 yr.Evidence synthesisOf 5586 references screened after duplicate removal, 44 studies (8218 patients) were included. Among these, nine were randomized controlled trials and 35 were cohort studies. The overall reoperation rates at 5 yr varied between 0% and 19% for TOT (11 studies), 0% and 13% for TVT (17 studies), and 0% and 19% for mini-slings (two studies). The overall reoperation rates at 10 yr varied between 5% and 15% for TOT (four studies) and between 2% and 17% for TVT (four studies). There were few safety data beyond 5 yr: 22.7% of the articles reported a follow-up at ≥10 yr and 2.3% at ≥15 yr.ConclusionsThe incidence rates of reoperations and complications are heterogeneous, and data beyond 5 yr are rare.Patient summaryThere is an urgent need to improve safety monitoring of mesh as our review highlights that available safety data are heterogeneous and of insufficient quality to guide the decision.
