About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Database Analysis of Anticholinergic Burden Among the Elderly With and Without Overactive Bladder in Australia and South Korea

Outpatients with at least one dispensing record of any medication will be included in the study. An index date will be assigned to each participant and prescription records for anticholinergics will be used in the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) score

    ACB will be calculated based on methodology from Campbell et al (2016). Sum (Drug A #days prescribed X ACB scale score) + (Drug B #days prescribed X ACB scale score) + (Drug X…)/Number of days with any medication prescribed. The cumulative score has a range from 0 to infinity, with higher values indicating a higher cumulative anticholinergic burden of the patient.

    Measured: 100 days

  2. Korea Specific: Percentage of Participants With any Listed Anticholinergic Use

    This will be calculated as number of participants with any listed anticholinergics use divided by number of participants fulfilling the general eligibility criteria of the study (in each study dataset) multiplied by 100.

    Measured: 100 days

  3. Korea Specific: Percentage of Participants With Strong Anticholinergic Use

    This will be calculated as number of participants with strong anticholinergics use divided by number of participants fulfilling the general eligibility criteria of the study (in each study dataset) multiplied by 100.

    Measured: 100 days

  4. Korea Specific: Number of Anticholinergics Dispensed per Participants

    This will be calculated as total number of anticholinergics dispensed divided by number of participants fulfilling the general eligibility criteria of the study (in each study dataset) multiplied by 100.

    Measured: 100 days

  5. Korea Specific: Attribution Proportion of OAB medications to total ACB in OAB Cohort

    Attribution proportion of OAB medication to total ACB will be calculated as the ratio between the sum over all OAB patients of the ACB scores of each OAB medication multiplied by the number of days supply in the numerator and the sum over all OAB patients of the ACB scores of each antimuscarinic medication multiplied by the number of days supply in the denominator.

    Measured: 100 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Median percentage of ACB score derived from overactive bladder (OAB) treatment(s) in total ACB score

    The attribution of antimuscarinics for OAB treatment to entire anticholinergic exposures in OAB patients.

    Measured: 100 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overactive Bladder (OAB), run by Astellas Pharma Singapore Pte. Ltd. at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia, South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) score (time frame: 100 days). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
