Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Overactive bladder (OAB) classification impacts diagnosis and treatment.
  • Current International Continence Society (ICS) classification may require refinement.
  • Functional subtyping based on clinical and urodynamic parameters offers an alternative perspective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the existing ICS classification of overactive bladders with a novel functional subtyping system.
  • To evaluate the clinical and urodynamic parameters underpinning OAB categorization.
  • To identify potential areas for improvement in OAB classification.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a large patient cohort.
  • Comparison of ICS classification against a functional subtyping system.
  • Assessment of clinical symptoms and urodynamic findings.

Main Results:

  • Identified functionally identical symptoms and urodynamic patterns within both Detrusor Hyperreflexia and Unstable Detrusor categories.
  • Demonstrated overlap between established ICS categories.
  • Highlighted inconsistencies in the current classification system.

Conclusions:

  • The current ICS classification for overactive bladders may not fully capture functional distinctions.
  • Strong evidence supports the need for revising the ICS classification system.
  • Functional subtyping offers a valuable approach for OAB categorization.
