A Study Of Efficacy And Safety Of Fesoterodine In Vulnerable Elderly Subjects With Overactive Bladder

UUI episodes were defined as those with the USS rating of 5 in the diary. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

Percent change of UUI episodes per 24 hours was calculated as change in 24-hour mean at that visit divided by the baseline 24-hour mean multiplied by 100 (i.e., 100*(Week 4 or 12 - baseline)/baseline).

Micturitions include episodes of voluntary micturition and episodes of UUI. UUI episodes were defined as those micturitions with USS rating of 5 in the diary in participants with UUI at baseline. USS rating 5: Unable to hold; leak urine.

Micturitions include episodes of voluntary micturition and episodes of UUI. UUI episodes were defined as those micturitions with USS rating of 5 in the diary in participants with UUI at baseline. USS rating 5: Unable to hold; leak urine.

Percent change of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as change in 24-hour mean at that visit divided by the baseline 24-hour mean multiplied by 100 (i.e., 100*(Week 4 or 12 - baseline)/baseline).

The mean number of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of greater than or equal to (>=) 3 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

The mean number of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of greater than or equal to (>=) 3 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

Percent change of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as change in 24-hour mean at that visit divided by the baseline 24-hour mean multiplied by 100 (i.e., 100*(Week 4 or 12 - baseline)/baseline).

Nocturnal micturition-related urgency episodes had USS rating of 3 or more that occurred between time participant went to bed and time he or she arose to start next day. Number of nocturnal micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as sum of all nocturnal micturition-related urgency episodes divided by total number of diary days collected at that visit.

Number of nocturnal micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as sum of all nocturnal micturition-related urgency episodes divided by total number of diary days collected at that visit.

Percent change of nocturnal micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as change in 24-hour mean at that visit divided by the baseline 24-hour mean multiplied by 100 (i.e., 100*(Week 4 or 12 - baseline)/baseline).

Frequency-urgency sum is total USS ratings recorded for all micturitions in 24-hour day. Number of USS ratings per 24 hours is sum of all USS ratings divided by the total diary days collected at that visit. USS scale: 1=No feeling of urgency to 5=Unable to hold: leak urine.

Frequency-urgency sum is total USS ratings recorded for all micturitions in 24-hour day. Number of USS ratings per 24 hours is sum of all USS ratings divided by the total diary days collected at that visit. USS scale: 1=No feeling of urgency to 5=Unable to hold: leak urine. Numerical decrease indicates improvement.

Protective Undergarments included pads, protective padding, protective underwear (pull up), and briefs (diaper). The mean number of undergarments changed per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of undergarments changed divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit. Change from baseline values were reported at week 4 for subsets of population with baseline values less than or equal to (=<) 3.5 and more than (>) 3.5 undergarments/day and at Week 12 for subsets of population with baseline values =< 2.5 and > 2.5 undergarments/day.

PPBC: a self-administered, single-item, questionnaire that asks participants to describe their perception of their bladder-related problems. The PPBC assessment is rated on a 6-point scale: 1=no problems at all, 2=some very minor problems, 3=some minor problems, 4=moderate problems, 5=severe problems, 6=many severe problems. Deterioration=score difference is greater than 0; no change=score difference is 0; minor improvement=score difference is -1; major difference=score difference is less than or equal to -2.

OAB-q: a self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire that assesses how much the participant has been bothered by selected bladder symptoms. Each item rated by participant on Likert scale 1 (least symptom bother) to 6 (most symptom bother). Symptom bother score derived as sum of scores for questions 1-8; lowest possible raw score: 8; highest possible score: 48. Data analyzed based on transformation of the score to a 0 to 100 scale [(Actual total raw score - lowest possible value of raw score)/range]*100. Higher scores values indicative of greater symptom bother.

OAB-q: self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire, assesses how much participant has been bothered by selected bladder symptoms. Each item rated on Likert scale 1 (least symptom bother) to 6 (most symptom bother). Questions 9 to 33 constitute HRQL, includes domains: concern, coping, sleep, and social function. HRQL domain and total raw score derived as sum of scores. Transformed score range 0 to 100 (Total HRQL or domain) = [(Highest possible raw score-Actual total raw score)/Raw score range]*100. Higher transformed scores indicative of better HRQL.

OAB-S: a validated self-administered instrument that evaluates OAB medication expectations, daily life with AB, and satisfaction with OAB medication and includes 3 stand-alone items that assess overall expectation, satisfaction, and willingness to continue treatment. Satisfaction coded on scale of 1 to 5: (1=very satisfied to 5=very dissatisfied). Coding reversed algorithmically and results transformed: total score range 0 to100. Higher final response value associated with better satisfaction.

Participant's response to question, "overall, how satisfied are you with your OAB medication?" was obtained on a 5 point scale, 1- very satisfied, 2- somewhat satisfied, 3- neither dissatisfied nor satisfied, 4- somewhat dissatisfied and 5- very dissatisfied. Response values 1 and 2 were combined into "satisfied", and 4 and 5 were combined into "dissatisfied".

MMSE measured general cognitive functioning: orientation, memory, attention, calculation, language, visuospatial functions. Total score derived from sub-scores; total ranges from 0 to 30, higher score indicates better cognitive state.

PVR volume is defined as volume of urine remaining in the bladder immediately after urination.
