Development of a prediction model in female pure or predominant urge urinary incontinence: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Urinary incontinence is a prevalent form of pelvic floor dysfunction, with a non-negligible impact on a patient's quality of life. There are several treatment options, varying from conservative to invasive. The aim of this study is to predict treatment outcomes of pure or predominant urge urinary incontinence (UUI) in women to support shared decision-making and manage patient expectations.

Salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy: Long-term results of urinary incontinence, toxicity and treatment outcomes.

Purpose: For 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.

The validation of the Dutch SF-Qualiveen, a questionnaire on urinary-specific quality of life, in spinal cord injury patients.

Background: Optimizing the patients' quality of life is one of the main goals in the urological management of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. In this study we validated the Dutch SF-Qualiveen, a short questionnaire that measures the urinary-specific quality of life, in SCI patients. No such measure is yet available for this patient group.

Heterogeneity in reporting on urinary outcome and cure after surgical interventions for stress urinary incontinence in adult neuro-urological patients: A systematic review.

Aims: To describe all outcome parameters and definitions of cure used to report on outcome of surgical interventions for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in neuro-urological (NU) patients.

Methods: This systematic review was performed and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The study protocol was registered and published (CRD42016033303; http://www.

The urinary-specific quality of life of multiple sclerosis patients: Dutch translation and validation of the SF-Qualiveen.

Aims: The SF-Qualiveen is a short questionnaire that measures the impact of urinary symptoms on the quality of life of patients with urological dysfunction due to neurological disorders. The aim of this study is to translate, culturally adapt and validate a Dutch version of the SF-Qualiveen for use in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.

Methods: Cross-cultural adaptation of the original English SF-Qualiveen into Dutch was performed according to standardized guidelines.

20 years experience with appendicovesicostomy in paediatric patients: Complications and their re-interventions.

Aims: To evaluate the long-term outcome of appendicovesicostomies and to present the frequency and timing of complications needing re-intervention.

Methods: In this retrospective study we included patients in whom an appendicovesicostomy was created at our institution between 1993 and 2011. Patients with a follow-up less than 1 year were excluded.

Maximum Urethral Closure Pressure Increases After Successful Adjustable Continence Therapy (ProACT) for Stress Urinary Incontinence After Radical Prostatectomy.

Objective: To evaluate changes of the urethral pressure profile (UPP) after implantation of adjustable continence therapy (ProACT), a minimally invasive procedure in which 2 volume-adjustable balloons are placed periurethrally for treatment of male stress urinary incontinence. The working mechanism of the ProACT to achieve continence has not been fully understood. We hypothesized that successful treatment with ProACT improves urinary continence by inducing a significant increase in static urethral pressure.
