Efficacy, tolerance and predictors of response to the treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients with hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.

Objectives: The aim was to study the efficacy and tolerance in patients with haemorrhagic radiation-induced cystitis (HRC) treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) and analyze which factors were related to the response to the treatment.

Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with HOT for HRC symptoms in a provincial referral centre from 2010 to 2020. We evaluated clinical response to treatment, number of hospitalizations due to HRC and subjective response using the PGI-I questionnaire.
