Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA in Patients with Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity Who Completed 4 Years of Treatment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: We assessed the year-to-year consistency of outcomes in patients with urinary incontinence due to neurogenic detrusor overactivity who completed 4 years of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eligible patients who completed a 52-week phase 3 trial of onabotulinumtoxinA for urinary incontinence could enter a 3-year open label extension study of onabotulinumtoxinA 200 or 300 U administered as needed for symptom control. This analysis focused on 227 patients who completed the 4-year study. Outcomes assessed by year of treatment included mean treatments per year, mean change from baseline at week 6 in urinary incontinence episodes per day and the I-QOL (Incontinence Quality of Life) total summary score, the proportion of patients with 50% or greater and 100% reductions in urinary incontinence episodes per day, duration of effect and adverse events. RESULTS: Patients reported 4.3 urinary incontinence episodes per day at baseline and received 1.4 to 1.5 onabotulinumtoxinA treatments per year. The decrease in urinary incontinence following onabotulinumtoxinA consistently ranged from -3.4 to -3.9 episodes per day across 4 years. A high proportion of patients achieved 50% or greater and 100% urinary incontinence reductions in each year (range 86.6% to 94.1% and 43.6% to 57.4%, respectively). Consistent and clinically relevant improvements in I-QOL scores were observed in each treatment year. The overall median duration of effect of onabotulinumtoxinA was 9.0 months or greater (range 3.0 to 49.2) and 26.0% or more of patients experienced a duration of effect of 12 months or greater. The most common adverse event was urinary tract infection with no increased incidence with time. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity who completed 4 years of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment experienced a consistent duration of treatment effect and year-to-year improvements in urinary incontinence and quality of life with no new safety signals.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
