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:IntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of the suprapubic arc (SPARC) procedure for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Materials and methods139 female patients treated by SPARC were included in this retrospective analysis, whereby 126 patients were available for follow-up after 1 year, 70 after 6 years, and 41 after 9 years. The cough test, pad test, uroflowmetry, and post-void residual volume measurements were performed. Severity of bother (visual analogous scale [VAS] 0-10), continence, and the satisfaction rate were assessed. Objective cure was defined as a negative cough test and pad weight ≤1 g, subjective cure as no urine loss during daily activities and no usage of pads. The VAS, pad weight, number of pads per day, and maximal flow rate were compared preoperatively and postoperatively.ResultsObjective cure rates at 1, 6, and 9 years were 78.6, 71.4, and 70.7% and subjective cure rates were 72.2, 55.7, and 65.8%, respectively. The VAS, pad weight, number of pads, and maximal flow rate decreased significantly. Study limitations include a relatively small sample size and the retrospective fashion of the analysis.ConclusionsIn the long-term context, SPARC showed to represent an efficient and safe procedure for treatment of female SUI.

Project description:PurposeFor patients with local recurrent disease after radical prostatectomy (35-54%) salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is the treatment of choice. In the post prostatectomy setting, SRT may impose risk at increased toxicity. As data on long-term toxicity, especially on urinary incontinence, are scarce, we report on the long-term treatment outcomes, toxicity and urinary incontinence rates after SRT.Materials and methodsPatients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy, who were treated with SRT (3D-CRT) at our institution between 1998 and 2012, were included in this retrospective cohort analysis. Primary endpoint was urinary incontinence rate. Secondary endpoints were acute and late grade ≥2 genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity rates, biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS).Results244 patients were included. Median follow-up after SRT was 50 months (range: 4-187 months). Before start of SRT 69.7% of patients were continent for urine. After SRT de novo urinary incontinence complaints (grade ≥ 1) occurred in the respective acute and late phase in 6.1% and 17.6% of patients. Respective acute grade ≥2 GU and GI toxicity was 19.2% and 17.6%. Late grade ≥2 toxicity for GU was 29.9% and for GI was 21.3%, respectively. The respective 5-year bPFS, OS, DSS and DMFS rates were 47.6%, 91.8%, 98.8% and 80.5%.ConclusionsExperience at our institution with SRT demonstrates that this results in good long-term biochemical control. However, toxicity and urinary incontinence rates were high.

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.

Project description:ObjectivesTo examine the long-term prevalence and predictors of weekly urinary incontinence in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study, a follow-up study of the Diabetes Prevention Program randomized clinical trial of overweight adults with impaired glucose tolerance.MethodsThis analysis included 1778 female participants of the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study who had been randomly assigned during the Diabetes Prevention Program to intensive lifestyle intervention (n = 582), metformin (n = 589) or placebo (n = 607). The study participants completed semi-annual assessments after the final Diabetes Prevention Program visit and for 6 years until October 2008.ResultsAt the study entry, the prevalence of weekly urinary incontinence was lower in the intensive lifestyle intervention group compared with the metformin and placebo groups (44.2% vs 51.8%, 48.0% urinary incontinence/week, P = 0.04); during the 6-year follow-up period, these lower rates in intensive lifestyle intervention were maintained (46.7%, 53.1%, 49.9% urinary incontinence/week; P = 0.03). Statistically adjusting for urinary incontinence prevalence at the end of the Diabetes Prevention Program, the treatment arm no longer had a significant impact on urinary incontinence during the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study. Independent predictors of lower urinary incontinence during the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study included lower body mass index (odds ratio 0.988, 95% confidence interval 0.982-0.994) and greater physical activity (odds ratio 0.999, 95% confidence interval 0.998-1.000) at the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study entry, and greater reductions in body mass index (odds ratio 0.75, 95% confidence interval 0.60-0.94) and waist circumference (odds ratio 0.998, 95% confidence interval 0.996-1.0) during the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study. Diabetes was not significantly related to urinary incontinence.ConclusionsIntensive lifestyle intervention has a modest positive and enduring impact on urinary incontinence, and should be considered for the long-term prevention and treatment of urinary incontinence in overweight/obese women with glucose intolerance.

Project description:BackgroundStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common among women, and surgical interventions have significantly improved patients' symptoms. The long-term effectiveness of these surgeries is increasingly drawing attention, yet it remains sparsely documented in the literature.ObjectiveTo compare the long-term effectiveness and safety of retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT-RP), tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O), transobturator tape (TOT), single-incision sling (SIS), Burch colposuspension, and pubovaginal sling (PVS).MethodsA comprehensive and systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Medicine, and clinicaltrials.gov from inception to May 2023. Selected trials were evaluated for potential bias using the Cochrane tool. Treatment modalities were compared using network meta-analysis to assess objective success rate, subjective success rate, and complications as outcomes.ResultsA total of 37 studies involving 5,720 patients were included. No significant statistical differences were found among the interventions regarding objective success rate. PVS had the highest surface under the cumulative ranking curve SUCRA value (93.1). For subjective success rate, TVT-RP, TVT-O, and PVS demonstrated superiority over SIS, with PVS having the highest SUCRA value (80.1). SIS had lower overall complication and pain rates compared to other methods, with statistical significance. There were no differences in reoperation rate, exposure rate, and urinary tract infection occurrence among the surgical approaches.ConclusionsIn terms of long-term effectiveness and safety, TVT-RP and TVT-O appear to be the preferred options for patients opting for synthetic slings, while for patients seeking non-synthetic slings, PVS may represent the optimal choice.

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:Introduction and hypothesisWomen with urge predominant urinary incontinence received active intervention (drug therapy alone or combined with behavioral therapy) for 10 weeks, then stopped all therapy and were followed for 6 months more. In this planned secondary analysis, we aimed to identify predictors of therapeutic success at 10 weeks (> or =70% reduction in incontinence) and of ability to discontinue treatment and sustain improvements 6 months later.MethodsUsing data from 307 women, we performed logistic regression to identify predictors for outcomes described above.ResultsAfter controlling for group, only younger age was associated with short-term success (OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.66, 0.96). At 6 months, controlling for group and short-term outcome, only greater anterior vaginal wall prolapse was associated with successful discontinuation (POP-Q point Aa; OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.03, 1.7).ConclusionThese findings are not of sufficient strength to justify withholding conservative therapies but might be used to promote realistic expectations when counseling patients.

Project description:ContextStress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) are associated with physical and psychological morbidity, and large societal costs. The long-term effects of delivery modes on each kind of incontinence remain uncertain.ObjectiveTo investigate the long-term impact of delivery mode on SUI and UUI.Evidence acquisitionWe searched Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, and relevant major conference abstracts up to October 31, 2014, including any observational study with adjusted analyses or any randomized trial addressing the association between delivery mode and SUI or UUI ≥1 yr after delivery. Two reviewers extracted data, including incidence/prevalence of SUI and UUI by delivery modes, and assessed risk of bias.Evidence synthesisPooled estimates from 15 eligible studies demonstrated an increased risk of SUI after vaginal delivery versus cesarean section (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.56-2.19; I(2)=57%; risk difference: 8.2%). Metaregression demonstrated a larger effect of vaginal delivery among younger women (p=0.005). Four studies suggested no difference in the risk of SUI between spontaneous vaginal and instrumental delivery (aOR: 1.11; 95% CI, 0.84-1.45; I(2)=50%). Eight studies suggested an elevated risk of UUI after vaginal delivery versus cesarean section (aOR: 1.30; 95% CI, 1.02-1.65; I(2)=37%; risk difference: 2.6%).ConclusionsCompared with cesarean section, vaginal delivery is associated with an almost twofold increase in the risk of long-term SUI, with an absolute increase of 8%, and an effect that is largest in younger women. There is also an increased risk of UUI, with an absolute increase of approximately 3%.Patient summaryIn this systematic review we looked for the long-term effects of childbirth on urinary leakage. We found that vaginal delivery is associated with an almost twofold increase in the risk of developing leakage with exertion, compared with cesarean section, with a smaller effect on leakage in association with urgency.
