The effects of mid-urethral tape on symptoms of overactive bladder
Hensel, Germund ; Košťál, Milan (advisor) ; Huvar, Ivan (referee) ; Krhut, Jan (referee)
Background: Mid-urethral tape implantation is at present a common procedure for stress urinary incontinence. It is greatly successful with a low degree of complications. A large part of patients suffering from stress urinary incontinence has co-existing symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), which can improve in a certain manner after placing of the mid-urethral tape. Data in literature about risk factors for persistence of OAB symptoms are not unanimous. Objectives: To determine the influence of mid-urethral tape implantation on the different symptoms of OAB, to determine risk factors for persistence of OAB symptoms after mid- urethral tape implantation. Methods: The study included 111 female patients suffering at the same time from stress urinary incontinence and symptoms of OAB. All of them underwent implantation of mid- urethral transobturator tape. Using micturition diary and two specific questionnaires (ICIQ- OAB and ICIQ-OABqol) we compared the intenzity of OAB symptoms before and after tape implantation. To determine risk factors for persistence of OAB symptoms we used univariate logistic regression, followed by multivariate regression analysis for selected factors. Results: All the four symptoms of OAB - urgency, frequency, nocturia and urgency incontinence - improved statistically...
