Overactive bladder phenotypes: development and preliminary data.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to develop overactive bladder (OAB) phenotypes that can be used to develop diagnostic and treatment pathways and offer clues to the underlying etiologies of patients with OAB.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter study of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Evaluation included a 24-hour bladder diary (24HBD), the lower urinary tract symptoms score (LUTSS) questionnaire, uroflowmetry (Q), and post-void residual urine (PVR) measurement.

A New Paradigm for Outpatient Diagnosis and Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Utilizing a Mobile App/Software Platform and Remote and In-Office Visits: A Feasibility Study.

Introduction: This pilot/feasibility study evaluated a new diagnostic and treatment paradigm for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms using a software platform comprised of a mobile app, validated patient reported outcome questionnaires, bladder diaries and remote patient monitoring.

Methods: New urology referrals for lower urinary tract symptoms completed validated lower urinary tract symptoms questionnaires and 24-hour bladder diaries on a mobile app. Patients were triaged based on symptom severity into an urgent or routine office visit or a remote visit.

Long term results of augmentation cystoplasty and urinary diversion in multiple sclerosis.

Introduction: There is a paucity of data about augmentation cystoplasty (AC) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with refractory lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the long term outcomes and morbidity of these procedures in MS patients.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of consecutive patients (1984-2017) with MS and refractory LUTS who underwent AC with or without a continent/incontinent abdominal stoma or urinary diversion.

Current guidelines and treatment paradigms for nocturnal polyuria: A "NEW" disease state for US physicians, patients and payers.

Nocturia is one of the most bothersome symptoms encountered in urology, and its prevalence rises with age. Causes include both urological and non-urological aetiologies, often in combination. The effects of nocturia on a patient's quality of life can be detrimental.
