2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES After participating in this educational activity, clinicians should be better able to: 1. Recognize the role of simple questioning for identifying patients with overactive bladder (OAB) 2. Discuss the essential components of the evaluation of the patient with OAB symptoms 3. Develop a management plan for patients with OAB that emphasizes the incorporation of behavioral therapy and setting appropriate expectations, optimizes efficacy and minimizes side effects to improve patient compliance and adherence with pharmacologic therapy 4. Describe the role of recently approved second line therapies, third line therapies and future therapies in patients with OAB who are unsatisfied with antimuscarinic therapy 3 PRE-TEST QUESTION 1 On a scale of 1 to 5, please rate how confident you would be in the diagnosis and management of a patient with OAB. 1. Not at all confident 2. Slightly confident 3. Moderately confident 4. Pretty much confident 5. Very confident 4 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 2

3 PRE-TEST QUESTION 2 Mary is a 80 year old patient who admits during her yearly exam that she wears a diaper just in case she can t make it to the bathroom in time. Which of the following is true regarding OAB? 1. OAB is less prevalent than chronic sinusitis 2. An 80 year old patient should know that it is normal to get up several times per night to empty their bladder 3. At least 50% of symptomatic patients are offered medical treatment for their symptoms of OAB 4. Understanding volume voided is a helpful point of distinction when evaluating LUTS symptoms for OAB 5 PRE-TEST QUESTION 3 When you tell Mary she may have OAB, she asks about the evaluation. Which is test is not recommended by the AUA in the initial evaluation of OAB in the uncomplicated patient? 1. Urinalysis 2. Bladder ultrasound 3. Voiding diary 4. Genital exam 6 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 3

4 PRE-TEST QUESTION 4 After an appropriate evaluation you discuss treatment options with Mary. Which of the following statements regarding expectations of OAB therapy is false? 1. It is appropriate to tell the patient that urinary urgency may be reduced with the correct therapy 2. It may take titration or changes in the pharmacologic therapy before an adequate response in attained 3. Therapeutic efficacy is enhanced with the combination of behavioral therapy and pharmacologic therapy as opposed to either alone 4. The risk of urinary retention in the male increases with longer duration on pharmacologic therapy for OAB 7 PRE-TEST QUESTION 5 Mary is very interested in efficacy but wants to limit side effects. Which of the following is true regarding OAB pharmacologic therapy with either an antimuscarinic or a beta 3 adenergic agonist? 1. Both classes have a high rate of dry mouth 2. The efficacy of the antimuscarinic medications are higher than the beta 3 adrenergic agonist medication 3. The efficacy of the beta 3 adrenergic agonist medication is higher than the antimuscarinic medication 4. One agent blocks contraction while the other stimulates relaxation 8 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 4

5 DEFINITION OF OAB OAB is syndrome or symptom complex defined as: Urgency, with or without urgency incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia Urgency is the key symptom of OAB Urgency is defined as a sudden compelling desire to void, which is difficult to defer Abrams P, et al. Urology. 2003;61: Rosenberg MT, et al. Int J Clin Pract. 2007;61: PREVALENCE OF OAB SYMPTOMS 1 in 3 US adults 40 years of age reported symptoms of OAB at least sometimes Respondents (%) Coyne S, et al.

8 WHY IS OAB UNDERDIAGNOSED AND UNDERTREATED? The answer is education and communication Unfortunately, if we don t understand the disease, we may not identify it even to refer, let alone treat!!!!!! 15 IDENTIFYING OAB TAKES A VILLAGE Rosenberg MT. Curr Urol Rep. 2008;9: Yu YF, et al. Value Health. 2005;8: NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 8

9 PATIENTS DON T DISCUSS BLADDER ISSUES WITH THE PROVIDER ² Embarrassment ² Fear of invasive procedures or need for surgery ² Perception of lack of available and effective treatment Ricci JA, et al. Clin Ther 2001;23: Milsom I, et al. BJU Int 2001;87: WHAT DO PATIENTS SAY? ² I have had this problem and did not know who to talk to ² My previous doctor told me it was part of aging ² It became a problem only when my diaper overflowed ² I thought it was normal as my sister and mother had this ² You mean going to the bathroom every hour is not normal? ² I am too embarrassed MacDiarmid S, Rosenberg, M. Curr Med Res Opin. 2005; 21: NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 9

10 THE UROLOGIST AND THE UROGYNECOLOGIST ROLE IN THE PARTNERSHIP ² Identification and initial evaluation of OAB starts in the office of the PCP ² There is a significant amount of medically related LUTS ² The diagnosis of OAB does not require an extensive or complicated evaluation Stewart WF, et al. World J Urol. 2003;20: Darkov T, et al. Pharmacotherapy. 2005;25: Ailinger RL, et al. J Comm Health Nurs. 2005;22: Rosenberg M et al. Cleve Clinic J Med. 2007;74:S21-S POTENTIAL MISCONCEPTIONS IN OAB ² OAB is a natural part of aging ² Diagnosis and treatment of genitourinary disease is to be determined by a specialist ² Diagnosis and treatment is outside the realm of the PCP setting MacDiarmid S, Rosenberg, M. Curr Med Res Opin. 2005;21(9): NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 10

11 WHAT DO DOCTORS SAY? ² No time ² Treatments are not all that effective ² If it was a problem for the patient, he or she would bring it up ² Your bladder/penis/kidney won t kill you, your heart will, so I need to focus MacDiarmid S, Rosenberg, M. Curr Med Res Opin. 2005;21(9): NOT SO! ² What is the outcome of an elderly patient falling and breaking a extremity? ² What is one of the primary drivers for nursing home admission? Brown et al. J Am Geriatr Soc. 2000;48: NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 11

12 Current Thinking Is a Myth 23 REALITIES OF OAB MANAGEMENT ² The PCP is the first line of contact ² Diagnosis and treatment is within the realm of the PCP setting ² Current treatments offer significant improvement of patient symptoms and patient quality of life 24 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 12

13 What we have here is a failure to communicate. Initially stated by the Warden in Cool Hand Luke repeated by Jackie Gleason in Smokey and the Bandit And now just shamelessly used by me for lecturing amusement 25 WHAT DOES THE PCP NEED? ² Keep It Simple 26 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 13

14 WHAT DOES THE PCP NEED? ² Keep It Simple ² Keep It Effective 27 WHAT DOES THE PCP NEED? ² Keep It Simple ² Keep It Effective ² Keep Us From Harming Our Patients 28 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 14

15 IT ALL COMES DOWN TO NORMAL ² How many times a day does a normal person need to urinate? ² What is the normal volume of urine voided per micturition? ² Is it normal for older people to get up during the night to use the bathroom? 29 What are the normal functions of the bladder? 30 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 15

16 FUNCTION OF THE BLADDER ² Normal Function - Storage capacity ( ml of fluid) Adequate low pressure urinary storage (bladder) Adequate outlet resistance (sphincter) - Empty to completion (minimal residual) Adequate bladder contraction Absence of outlet obstruction ² Abnormal Function (failure to store or empty) - Voiding frequently small amounts - Uncontrollable urge (urgency) - Incomplete emptying - Hesitancy, poor stream Wein AJ. Pathophysiology and categorization of voiding dysfunction. In: Wein AJ, Kavoussi LR, Novick AC, et al, eds. Campbell-Walsh Urology. 9th ed. Philadelphia, PA: W. B. Saunders/Elsevier; 2007: What are the normal functions of the prostate? 32 NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 16

17 FUNCTION OF THE PROSTATE ² Normal Function - Does not grow (enlarge) into the urethra thereby allowing unobstructed flow - It is intimately associated with the continence mechanism - Produces fluid for seminal emission ² Abnormal Function (failure of flow) - Obstruction of urinary flow ( obstruction retention ) - Sphincteric damage /usually surgical - ( stress incontinence ) Wein AJ. Pathophysiology and categorization of voiding dysfunction. In: Wein AJ, Kavoussi LR, Novick AC, et al, eds. Campbell-Walsh Urology. 9th ed. Philadelphia, PA: W. B.

21 SIMPLE QUESTIONS THE PCP CAN ASK ² Do you have a sudden urge to void and can barely make it to the bathroom? ² Do you wear a pad or diaper? ² Can you sit through a movie without going to the bathroom? ² Do you leak urine? ² Do you get up at night? Abrams P, et al. Neurourol Urodyn. 2002;21:167-78; Wein A, et al. J Urol. 2006;175:S5-10;Zinner N, et al. Int J Clin Pract. 2006;60:119-26; Wein AJ. Am J Manag Care. 2000;6:S THE EVALUATION OF LUTS ² Medical and surgical history ² Medications ² Focused physical examination ² Voiding diary ² Labs ² Urodynamics, cystoscopy, and diagnostic renal and bladder ultrasound not necessary in initial workup of uncomplicated patients Gormley EA, et al.

22 EXAMPLES IN THE MEDICAL AND SURGICAL HISTORY THAT MAY CAUSE LUTS ² Diabetes (new onset or poorly controlled) - Causing polyuria/polydipsia ² Congestive heart failure - Nighttime fluid mobilization ² Recent Surgery - Catheterization during surgery, immobilization, constipation from pain medications A recent onset of the symptoms may provide a clue to the etiology 43 MEDICATIONS AS A CAUSE OF LUTS Sedatives Alcohol, Caffeine, Diuretics Anticholinergics α Agonists ß - Blockers Calcium-Channel Blockers ACE Inhibitors First generation antihistamines Cholinesterase inhibitors Confusion, secondary incontinence Diuresis Impair contractility, voiding difficulty, overflow incontinence Increased outlet resistance, voiding difficulty Decreased urethral closure, stress incontinence Reduce bladder smooth muscle contractility Induce cough, stress urinary incontinence Increase outlet resistance Precipitate urge incontinence Opioids Direct effect, constipation Wyman JF, et al. Int I Clin Pract. 2009;63: Newman DK. Nurse Pract. 2009;34: NACE Emerging Challenges in Primary Care: 2014 OAB - 22

23 THE FOCUSED PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ² Abdominal Tenderness, masses, distension ² Neurological Mental and ambulatory status, neuromuscular function ² Genitourinary Meatus and testis Vaginal mucosal integrity, urethral mobility, bladder prolapse ² Rectal Tone Prostate size, shape, nodules and consistency Rosenberg MT, Newman DK, Tallman CT, et al. Cleve Clin J Med. 2007;74(suppl 3):S21-S LABORATORY TESTS ² Urinalysis Infection, blood The urine is not an adequate screener for diabetes since the blood sugar must be above 180 mg/dl before it spills into the urine ² A random or fasting blood sugar Diabetes ² Prostate specific antigen Prostate specific not cancer specific but can be used in screening Excellent as a surrogate marker for prostate size PSA is more accurate than a DRE when estimating prostate size A PSA of 1.5 ng/ml equates to a prostate volume of at least 30 grams(ml) Rosenberg MT, Staskin DR, Kaplan SA, et al.

24 THE PURPOSE OF THE VOIDING DIARY ² Identifies voiding frequency and voided volume ² Differentiates behavioral vs LUTS pathology - Voiding frequently excessive volume(behavioral) small amounts as a result of always being in a rush (behavioral) small amounts (OAB) ² Alerts patients to habits /opportunities to modify ² Can monitor effect of treatment Wyman JF, et al. Int J Clin Pract. 2009; 63(8): THE POST VOID RESIDUAL (PVR) IS ONLY NEEDED IN SELECT PATIENTS ² The fear of patients going into retention when treated for OAB leaves many patients untreated ² If PVR residual is less than 50 ml, causing retention when treating OAB is extremely unlikely - FACT: most PCPs will not have bladder scanner and will not want to catheterize a patient - FACT: most PCPs will have access to a ultrasound unit and can order a post void residual ² Use common sense, if you are treating the patient for voiding too frequently (OAB) and they have not voided in 6 8 hours or have a sense to void but cannot, have them contact you Rosenberg MT.

25 INDICATIONS FOR REFERRAL ² History of recurrent urinary tract infections or other infection ² Pelvic irradiation ² Microscopic or gross hematuria ² Prior genitourinary surgery ² Elevated prostate-specific antigen ² Abnormal genital exam ² Suspicion of neurological cause of symptoms ² Meatal stenosis ² History of genitourinary trauma ² Pelvic pain ² Uncertain diagnosis or patient choice Rosenberg MT, Staskin DR, Kaplan SA, et al. Int J Clin Pract. 2007;61(9), TREATMENT NOW CAN BE EMPIRIC ² No identifiable etiology ² No reversible causes ² Is patient bothered enough for treatment? - No, watchful waiting - Yes, consider algorithm Weak flow think Prostate Poor voiding volumes think Bladder Incontinence think Bladder/Outlet Rosenberg MT.
