Popis: Objective To determine whether the presence of detrusor overactivity (DO) is associated with the 12-week and 12-month clinical outcomes of selective bladder denervation (SBD) in women with refractory overactive bladder (OAB). Methods Prospective single institutional study of refractory OAB females who underwent a urodynamic study and were categorized according to DO status (DO− vs DO+) prior to receiving SBD. Results Among the 23 patients, 10 were DO− and 13 were DO+. Both groups reported improvement at 12 weeks on the 24-hour pad weight test, in urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) and urgency. At 12 months, both groups still reported improvement in urgency, but only the DO− group reported reduction on the pad weight test and only the DO+ group maintained improvement in the UUI rate. Clinical success (≥50% reduction in UUI) was achieved by all DO− and by 69% of DO+ patients at 12 weeks, and by 60% of DO− and 92% of DO+ patients at 12 months. Treatment benefit (Treatment Benefit Scale ≤2) was reported in 90% of DO− and 85% of DO+ patients at 12 weeks, and in 60% of DO− and 85% of DO+ patients at 12 months. When directly comparing both group outcomes, the only significant difference was the greater reduction of UUI in the DO− group at 12 weeks (−9.0 vs −6.5; P = .045). Conclusion Refractory OAB females appear to be effectively treated by SBD regardless of baseline DO status. DO status does not seem to be associated with the 12-week and 12-month outcomes of SBD.
