A Clinical Trial To Assess Fesoterodine On Treatment Satisfaction And Symptom Improvement In Overactive Bladder Patients

The mean number of micturitions per 24 hours is calculated as the total number of micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

The mean number of UUI episodes per 24 hours is calculated as the total number of micturitions with Bladder Sensation Scale (BSS) = 5 divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit. BSS: 5 point scale measuring need to urinate from 1=no urgency to 5=unable to hold; leak urine.

The mean number of urgency episodes per 24 hours is calculated as the total number of micturitions with Bladder Sensation Scale (BSS) >= 3 divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit. BSS: 5 point scale measuring need to urinate from 1=no urgency to 5=unable to hold; leak urine.

Number of Participants who responded satisfied = (very satisfied or somewhat satisfied) and dissatisfied = (somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied) to the treatment satisfaction question.

Nocturnal micturitions (synonymous with the term "nighttime micturitions") were those recorded in the bedtime section of the bladder diary.

Severe urgency episodes defined as Urinary Sensation Scale (USS) rating ≥4. Subjects rated the feeling of urgency associated with each micturition episode using USS provided in the bladder diary. Scale ranges from 1=no feeling of urgency to 5=unable to hold; leak urine; decrease indicates an improvement with respect to urgency symptoms.

The mean rating was calculated as the sum of rating scores on the Urinary Sensation Scale divided by the total number of micturitions with non-missing rating at that visit. The scale ranges from 1 "no feeling of urgency" to 5 "unable to hold; leak urine."

The PPBC score ranges from 1 "no problems at all" to 6 "many severe problems."

Improvement: negative score change; No change: score change=0; Deterioration: positive score change

UPS scores range from 0 ("I am usually not able to hold urine") to 2 ("I am usually able to finish what I am doing before going to the toilet [without leaking]").

Improvement: positive score change; No improvement: zero or negative score change

Each item rated by subject on a Likert scale 1 (most favorable) to 6 (least favorable). Raw scores were transformed to a score from 0 to 100. Once transformed, higher scores represent more favorable outcome.

Module coded on scale (1-very satisfied to 5-very dissatisfied). Coding reversed algorithmically & results transformed: total score range 0-100. Higher final response value associated with better satisfaction. Satisfied on TSQ = very or somewhat satisfied; Not satisfied on TSQ =very or somewhat dissatisfied or neither dissatisfied nor satisfied.

The sum rating per 24 hours was calculated as the mean rating score on the Urinary Sensation Scale multiplied by the mean number of micturitions per 24 hours at that visit. The scale ranges from 1 "no feeling of urgency" to 5 "unable to hold; leak urine."

Number of participants who responded satisfied = (very satisfied or somewhat satisfied) or dissatisfied = (somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied) to the treatment satisfaction question at Week 12 in the safety set.
