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. Patients completed the 24HBD and LUTSS on a smartphone application or paper. Those with an OAB symptom sub-score (OABSS) ≥ 8 were included. An expert panel developed a phenotype classification system based on variables considered to be important for treatment.
Results: The following variables were selected for inclusion in the phenotype modeling: 24-hour voided volume (24HV), maximum voided volume (MVV), Qmax and PVR. Subjects were divided into three phenotypes based on the 24HV: polyuria (24HV > 2.5 L), normal (24 HV 1-2.5 L), and oliguria (24HV < 1 L). Each phenotype was subdivided based on MVV, Qmax & PVR, resulting in 18 sub-types. Five hundred thirty-three patients, 348 men and 185 women, completed the LUTSS and 24HBD. OAB was present in 399 (75%) - 261 men and 138 women. The prevalence of the primary phenotypes was polyuria (25%), normal (63%), and oliguria (11%).
Conclusions: Classification of OAB variants into phenotypes based on 24HV, MVV, Qmax, and PVR provides the substrate for further research into the diagnosis, etiology, treatment outcomes and development of granular diagnostic and treatment algorithms.

Objective: To assess the available evidence of non-invasive or minimally invasive neuromodulation therapies in improving urodynamic outcomes, voiding diaries, and quality of life in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Data Sources: A comprehensive search of 10 databases from inception until August 30, 2023 was conducted.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of conventional treatment (CT) and CT combined with sham stimulation (SS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), sacral nerve magnetic stimulation (SNMS), TMS+SNMS, sacral pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (SPEMFT), sacral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (STENS), sacral dermatomal transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (SDTENS), bladder & sacral transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (B&STENS), transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS), pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES), or pelvic floor biofeedback therapy (PFBFBT) on postvoid residual volume (PVR), maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), number of voids per 24 h (V24), mean urine volume per micturition, (MUV), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), maximum detrusor pressure (MDP), maximum voiding volume (MVV), number of leakages per 24 h (L24), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) score, and spinal cord injury-quality of life (SCI-QoL)score in patients with NLUTD after SCI were included.

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics of men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) grouped by 24-h urine output determined from a bladder voiding diary.
Methods: An online database was queried to identify men who completed a 24-hour bladder diary (24HBD), and the Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (LUTSS) questionnaire from 2015 to 2019 using a mobile app. Data from the bladder diary and questionnaire were contemporaneously matched within a 2-week period.

Objective: To define the different urodynamic patterns in female bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and to assess whether urodynamics alone can be relied on for the diagnosis.
Patients And Methods: This prospective study included 60 clinically obstructed women and 27 with stress urinary incontinence as a control group. All patients had pressure-flow studies and were divided into four groups.

Objective: The present study sought to investigate lower urinary tract symptoms and urodynamic and cystometric findings in Parkinson disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and Alzheimer disease (AD).
Methods: Included were patients with frequency, urgency, incontinence, and nocturia, without major bladder outflow obstruction. The protocol comprised physical examination, urine analysis, prostate specific antigen, 24-hours frequency of micturition, mean voided volume (MVV), free flow before instrumentation (Qmax(before)), post-void residual volume (PVR), and cystometry.
