About this study

Official title: Prospective, Non-randomized, Observational Study of the Surgical Management of Suburethral Slings in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence

This is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multicenter study in which urethral length is measured in women with surgically-correctable stress urinary incontinence who undergo a suburethral sling operative procedure.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, multicenter study in which urethral length is measured in women with surgically-correctable stress urinary incontinence who undergo a suburethral sling operative procedure. Data will be collected from preoperative urogynecological testing and medical histories. The urethral length will be measured intraoperatively using scaled catheters. Outcome data, including the development of postoperative complications, will be collected at several time intervals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cure rate

    Patients are classified as 'cured' if the postoperative cough test is negative, the 1-hour pad test is negative (less than 2 g) and the degree of subjective suffering improves to over 90% (VAS score of 0 or 1). All other patients are classified as therapeutic 'failures', even though they may experience marked improvement in one of the parameters compared with their preoperative status.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pelvic floor sonography

    Measured: Pre-operation, day 1 and 3 months

  2. Residual urine

    Measured: Pre-operation, day 1 and 3 months

  3. Pad test

    Measured: Pre-operation and 3 months

  4. Urethral length measurement

    Urethral length will be measured using scaled catheters.

    Measured: Intra-operation

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Cure rate (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
