Pdf Summary
The authors of this study aimed to evaluate the adherence to the Female Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) Clinical Guidelines Panel standards for clinical trials in recent literature. They reviewed articles published in 2017 in three journals: Journal of Urology (JU), Neurourology and Urodynamics (NU), and Urology (UR). The articles on urinary incontinence therapies were included and assessed for adherence to guideline standards. The guideline standards were categorized into methodology, pre-treatment assessment, and post-treatment assessment.<br /><br />A total of 294 articles were reviewed, and 78 articles met the criteria. The overall mean adherence to the 1997 SUI guidelines was found to be 52%. The Journal of Urology had the highest overall adherence to methodology compliance (72% vs. 41-48% in the other journals). However, there was no difference between journals in overall pre- or post-treatment compliance.<br /><br />The study concludes that a significant percentage of urinary incontinence trials fail to meet the suggested standards for clinical research. The Journal of Urology showed higher adherence to methodology standards. The authors suggest that further research should reassess the standard recommendations and the quality of research published with these standards.<br /><br />In terms of individual standard compliance, Journal of Urology had the highest compliance in various standards, including prospective design, randomized design, controlled design, and quality of life (QOL) questionnaire. Neurourology and Urodynamics had the highest compliance in micturition diary and urodynamics, while Urology had the highest compliance in complications/morbidity and QOL questionnaire.<br /><br />The study provides valuable information about the adherence to the 1997 SUI guidelines in recent clinical trials. It suggests that there is room for improvement in meeting the recommended standards for research in urinary incontinence. The findings also highlight the differences in adherence between journals.
