Predictors of positive treatment response to PTNS in women with overactive bladder

They have all reported on different parameters in comorbidities, bladder diaries and urodynamic indings as predictors of treatment success. Daytime urinary frequency and irst sensation at bladder illing on cystometry may predict PTNS success Patients without detrusor overactivity (DO) at baseline were 1.7 times more prone to respond to PTNS than those with urodynamic proven DO [4]. A history of depression/anxiety and severe baseline urgency urinary incontinence were positive predictors of a successful PTNS outcome We aim to identify any additional patient characteristics who are more likely to respond to this prolonged and relatively expensive treatment and to triage women with OAB appropriately.
