Bladder Hydrodistention Does Not Result in a Significant Change in Bladder Capacity for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome Patients - 30/09/19
ABSTRACT |
Objective |
To assess the impact of multiple (2 or more) bladder hydrodistentions (HODs) on anesthetic bladder capacity (BC) in a large cohort of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) patients. Urinary HOD under anesthesia is a third line therapeutic approach used to treat patients with IC/BPS. There is some concern that performing multiple therapeutic HODs may be contraindicated due to the potential for contributing to a diminished BC over time.
Materials and Methods |
This is a retrospective chart review of IC/BPS patients from a single institution who had undergone 2 or more bladder HOD procedures. Patient demographic and clinical data, including BC under anesthesia, were retrieved from patient charts for analysis. Least squares regression slopes of BC under anesthesia were calculated and used to estimate within-patient BC changes over time.
Results |
Data from 168 patients (637 HOD procedures) were included for analysis. The average change in BC, 0.52 ± 8.33 mL/mo, was not significantly different from 0 (P= .42). Linear regression analyses did not identify any significant correlation between BC over time with: (1) age, (2) number of HODs, (3) frequency of HODs, (4) average BC, (5) length of time with an IC/BPS diagnosis, or (6) length of time during which the patient's BC was evaluated. Moreover, there was no difference in BC change over time in patients with and without Hunner's lesion (P = .86).
Conclusion |
Multiple therapeutic HODs, over several years, do not result in a significant change in BC in IC/BPS patients.
