OBJECTIVES: To describe the characteristics of women who have had a hysterectomy and to assess the association of a past hysterectomy on current urologic symptoms. METHODS: The Boston Area Community Health (BACH) survey is a random sample of Boston, Massachusetts residents aged 30-79 years using a stratified two-stage cluster design (3202 women; 1067 Black, 1111 Hispanic, 1024 White). Urologic symptoms, hysterectomy, co-morbidities, lifestyle factors, and medical indications for a hysterectomy were by self-report. Socioeconomic status was measured as a combination of education and income. RESULTS: Hysterectomies were reported by 587 women and 1782 women reported one or more urologic symptoms. Minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to have had a hysterectomy, even after adjusting for age and potential medical indications for a hysterectomy. Hispanic women were least likely to report fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or genitourinary cancers, but they were more likely to have had a hysterectomy if they reported these conditions than Black or White women. Women with a hysterectomy were more likely to report lower urinary tract symptoms, painful bladder syndrome, urinary frequency, urgency, and overactive bladder after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, body mass index, depression, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, smoking history, alcohol use, and physical activity. CONCLUSIONS: Minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to report having a hysterectomy and urologic symptoms (including painful bladder syndrome) may be an unintended consequence of a hysterectomy. 相似文献

Urgency assessment in the evaluation of overactive bladder (OAB) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent urinary condition with a profound affect on quality of life. Urinary urgency is the cornerstone symptom that defines OAB and drives all subsequent OAB symptoms. The clinical assessment and measurement of urgency has been limited by its definition, limited understanding of well-defined pathophysiology, and psychometric measurement properties. This review outlines the important issues relevant to the clinical assessment and measurement scales commonly used to evaluate and measure urinary urgency. This will have important implications toward further understanding and advancing the field of overactive bladder. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Although previous studies report an association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and smoking, few have examined the impact of passive smoke exposure on ED. This analysis examines the association of active and passive smoking and ED and investigates a dose-response effect of smoking. METHODS: The Boston Area Community Heath (BACH) survey is a study of urologic symptoms in a racially and ethnically diverse population. BACH used a multistage stratified random sample to recruit 2301 men, aged 30-79 yr, from the city of Boston. ED was assessed using the five-item International Index of Erectile Function. Smoking and passive smoking were assessed by self-report. Analyses adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors and important chronic illnesses. RESULTS: An association between smoking and ED was observed with a significant trend in increased risk of ED with cumulative pack-years of smoking (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03, 2.30 for > or =20 pack-years). Compared to never smokers not exposed to passive smoking, men who never smoked but were exposed to passive smoking had a moderate, statistically nonsignificant, increase in risk of ED (adjusted OR=1.33; 95%CI: 0.69, 2.55) comparable to the OR observed for a cumulative exposure of 10-19 pack-years of active smoking (adjusted OR=1.25; 95%CI, 0.68, 2.30). CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate a dose-response association between smoking and ED with a statistically significant effect observed with > or =20 pack-years of exposure. Passive smoking is associated with a small, statistically nonsignificant increase in risk of ED comparable to approximately 10-19 pack-years of active smoking. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To describe the Boston Area Community Health (BACH) survey, a National Institutes of Health-supported epidemiological study of symptoms suggestive of the following urologic conditions: urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, interstitial cystitis, chronic pelvic pain of bladder origin, prostatitis, hypogonadism, erectile dysfunction, and female sexual dysfunction. METHODS: BACH used a two-stage stratified cluster design to recruit a community-based random sample of 5506, divided between males (2301) and females (3205), three racial/ethnic groups (black, Hispanic, and white), and four age groups (30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-79 yr). Validated questionnaires were used to collect information on urologic symptoms, comorbidities, prescribed and over-the-counter medications, reproductive history, quality of life, health care utilization, physical activity, depressive symptoms, interpersonal stress, smoking, alcohol use, fluid intake, nutrition, menopausal status, sexual activity, abuse, anthropometrics (measured height, weight, hip and waist circumference, pulse rate, blood pressure), and sociodemographics including country of origin, marital status, employment status, and income. Blood samples were collected from 68% of all subjects. RESULTS: A large representative community-based sample was successfully recruited to provide both cross-sectional and eventually longitudinal data to address important urologic questions. CONCLUSIONS: BACH has features distinguishing it from most other epidemiological studies in urology. It uses a random community-based sample of people who are racially/ethnically diverse and includes a broad age range (30-79 yr). It includes both males and females The study focuses on symptoms rather than variably defined disease conditions, it is multidisciplinary, and it is designed to become longitudinal. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms on issues related to employment, social interactions, and emotional well-being in a population aged 40-64 years. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study comprised a cross-sectional population-based survey of 11 521 individuals aged 40-64 years, conducted in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. The survey involved a two-stage screening procedure. Initially, individuals with any lower urinary tract symptoms were identified. Those whose only symptom/(s) was suggestive of a urinary tract infection, stress incontinence, or prostate obstruction were excluded from further study. Respondents were asked questions about the impact that their symptoms had on their emotional well-being, social interactions and productivity at home and at work. RESULTS: Of those with OAB, approximately 32% (1272) reported that having these symptoms made them feel depressed, and 28% reported feeling very stressed. There were statistically significant differences in reported feelings of stress and depression when OAB symptoms were stratified by OAB with incontinence (OAB+) vs those with OAB with no incontinence (OAB-), with values for emotional stress of OAB+ 36.4% vs OAB- 19.6%, for depression of OAB+ 39.8% vs OAB- 23.3%. Participants with OAB+ were significantly more likely than those with OAB- to express worry about having accidents and concern about participating in activities away from home because of their bladder symptoms. In addition, those with OAB+ were significantly more likely to report that these bladder symptoms were a source of great concern and made them feel uncomfortable in social situations compared to those with OAB-. Men were significantly more likely than women to report OAB+ having an impact on their daily work life, including worry about interrupting meetings, impact on decisions about work location and hours, and voluntary termination or early retirement. This effect was primarily in men reporting OAB+. CONCLUSION: OAB symptoms have a significant effect on the emotional well-being and productivity of those affected, both at home and at work. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of C‐reactive protein (CRP) level on the prognosis of patients with muscle‐invasive bladder cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy (ChRT), as it is increasingly recognized that the presence of a systemic inflammatory response is associated with poor survival in various malignancies.PATIENTS AND METHODS
The clinical records of 88 patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma (cT2–4 N0M0) treated with ChRT were reviewed retrospectively. ChRT comprised external beam radiotherapy to the bladder (40 Gy) with two cycles of cisplatin (50–100 mg) at 3‐week intervals. Elevated CRP was defined as >0.5 mg/dL. The survival rate was calculated using the Kaplan‐Meier method, and a multivariate analysis was used to identify significant factors associated with prognosis, using a Cox proportional hazards model.RESULTS
During the median (range) follow‐up of 33 (3–117) months, 19 patients died from bladder cancer; the 5‐year cancer‐specific survival (CSS) rate was 73%. Ten patients had a high CRP level before ChRT (≥0.5 mg/dL) and their CSS rate was significantly worse than that in the remaining patients (P = 0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that CRP and cT stage were independent prognostic indicators for CSS, with a hazard ratio of 1.80 (95% confidence interval 1.01–2.97; P = 0.046). Among 10 patients in those with elevated CRP the CRP levels became normal after ChRT in six, of whom all but one was alive with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis during the follow‐up. By contrast, all four with no CRP normalization after ChRT died within 2 years.CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge this is the first study to report that elevation of CRP before treatment predicts a poor prognosis in patients with muscle‐invasive bladder cancer who are receiving ChRT. Furthermore, failure of CRP levels to normalize after ChRT was associated with extremely poor survival. 相似文献19.

Study Type – Prognosis (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What’s known on the subject? and What does the study add? There is increasing evidence for a prognostic significance of pretherapeutically elevated serum C‐reactive protein levels in various cancers. However, little is known about its significance in patients with invasive bladder cancer. This study shows that serum CRP is an independent predictor for cancer‐specific survival in bladder cancer, and its incorporation into a new outcome model (TNR‐C Score) encompassing major pathological determinants for survival, increases significantly its predictive accuracy.
OBJECTIVE
? To assess the predictive value of preoperative C‐reactive protein (CRP) in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for carcinoma invading the bladder in light of recent data showing it to be an independent indicator of adverse oncological outcome in other malignancies.PATIENTS AND METHODS
? A contemporary, consecutive series of 246 patients undergoing RC and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for bladder cancer between 1999 and 2009. ? Elevated CRP was defined as >0.5 mg/dL and was consistent during the study period. The median (range) follow‐up was 30 (6–116) months. ? Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to estimate cancer‐specific survival (CSS) using a log‐rank test and Cox regression analysis for multivariate analysis of risk factors. ? Based on regression estimates of significant parameters in multivariate analysis, a new CRP‐based scoring model was developed to predict cancer‐specific outcomes. The predictive accuracy of the model was evaluated using the concordance index.RESULTS
? The 3‐year CSS was 74.0% in patients with normal and 44.0% with elevated CRP (P < 0.001). ? In multivariate analysis, CRP (P < 0.001; used as a continuous variable), tumour stage (P= 0.001), lymph‐node density ≥0.09 (P= 0.02) and resection margin status (P < 0.001) were independent predictors of CSS. ? The 3‐year CSS in patients with a score in the ranges 0–2, 3–6 and 7–10 was 80.5%, 44.9% and 7.1%, respectively (P < 0.001). Consideration of CRP in the final model increased its predictive accuracy by 4.9% with a concordance index of 0.788 (P= 0.01).CONCLUSIONS
? This is the largest, contemporary series to date indicating that preoperative serum CRP is an independent risk factor for CSS. ? CRP may be a useful parameter to include in predictive bladder cancer nomograms. 相似文献20.

AIMS: This study examined test-retest reliability of four patient-reported outcome measures for patients with overactive bladder (OAB): Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q), Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC), Urgency Questionnaire (UQ), and Primary OAB Symptom Questionnaire (POSQ). METHODS: Patients recruited from urology clinics were scheduled for two visits 2 weeks apart and completed all questionnaires at both visits. A demographic form was completed at Visit 1; and a treatment effect scale was completed at Visit 2. Test-retest reliability was examined among stable patients using intraclass correlations (ICC), Spearman's correlations, paired t-tests, Feldt's statistic, and kappas. RESULTS: A total of 47 patients enrolled (mean age = 66.0 years, 74.5% female), with 46 completing both visits; 35 were classified stable. Statistically significant correlations were present between Visits 1 and 2 (P < 0.05) for all subscales of the OAB-q, UQ, and POSQ. Subscale ICCs were moderate to high (OAB-q > or = 0.83, UQ > or = 0.46, POSQ continuous items > or = 0.68). No significant differences between Visit 1 and 2 were noted, except for the OAB-q symptom bother scale (change of 5.8 points on a 100-point scale). The multi-item subscales of the OAB-q and the UQ demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha > or = 0.83 for all subscales) across both visits. Test-retest reliability of the PPBC was somewhat weaker than the other three measures, but still acceptable for use as a global, single-item outcome measure. CONCLUSIONS: The OAB-q, POSQ, and UQ demonstrated good test-retest reliability, with ICCs roughly equivalent or superior to those previously reported for 7-day micturition diaries. Findings suggest that the four measures examined in this study demonstrate the necessary reproducibility for use as outcome measures for OAB treatments. 相似文献
