Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this guideline is to provide evidence-based guidance to clinicians of all specialties on the evaluation, management, and treatment of idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). The guideline informs the reader on valid diagnostic processes and provides an approach to selecting treatment options for patients with OAB through the shared decision-making process, which will maximize symptom control and quality of life, while minimizing adverse events and burden of disease. METHODS An electronic search employing OVID was used to systematically search the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, as well as the Cochrane Library, for systematic reviews and primary studies evaluating diagnosis and treatment of OAB from January 2013 to November 2023. Criteria for inclusion and exclusion of studies were based on the Key Questions and the populations, interventions, comparators, outcomes, timing, types of studies and settings (PICOTS) of interest. Following the study selection process, 159 studies were included and were used to inform evidence-based recommendation statements. RESULTS This guideline produced 33 statements that cover the evaluation and diagnosis of the patient with symptoms suggestive of OAB; the treatment options for patients with OAB, including Noninvasive therapies, pharmacotherapy, minimally invasive therapies, invasive therapies, and indwelling catheters; and the management of patients with BPH and OAB. CONCLUSION Once the diagnosis of OAB is made, the clinician and the patient with OAB have a variety of treatment options to choose from and should, through shared decision-making, formulate a personalized treatment approach taking into account evidence-based recommendations as well as patient values and preferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Around 16% of adults have symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB; urgency with frequency and/or urge incontinence), with prevalence increasing with age. Anticholinergic drugs are commonly used to treat this condition. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2002 and last updated in 2006. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of anticholinergic drugs compared with placebo or no treatment for treating overactive bladder syndrome in adults. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Incontinence Specialised Register, which contains trials identified from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, MEDLINE Epub Ahead of Print, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP and handsearching of journals and conference proceedings (searched 14 January 2020), and the reference lists of relevant articles. We updated this search on 3 May 2022, but these results have not yet been fully incorporated. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised or quasi-randomised trials in adults with overactive bladder syndrome that compared an anticholinergic drug alone with placebo treatment. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed eligibility and extracted data from the included studies, including an assessment of the risk of bias. We assessed the certainty of the body of evidence using the GRADE approach. We processed data as described in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. MAIN RESULTS We included 104 studies, 71 of which were new or updated for this version of the review. Although 12 studies did not report the number of participants, there were 47,106 people in the remainder of the included studies. The majority of the studies had insufficient information to allow judgement of risk of bias and we judged them to be unclear for all domains. Nine anticholinergic drugs were included in these studies: darifenacin; fesoterodine; imidafenacin; oxybutynin; propantheline; propiverine; solifenacin; tolterodine and trospium. No studies were found that compared anticholinergic drugs to no treatment. At the end of the treatment period, anticholinergics may slightly increase condition-specific quality of life (mean difference (MD) 4.41 lower, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5.28 lower to 3.54 lower (scale range -100 to 0); 12 studies, 6804 participants; low-certainty evidence). Anticholinergics are probably better than placebo in terms of patient perception of cure or improvement (risk ratio (RR) 1.38, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.66; 9 studies, 8457 participants; moderate-certainty evidence), and the mean number of urgency episodes per 24-hour period (MD 0.85 lower, 95% CI 1.03 lower to 0.67 lower; 23 studies, 16,875 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Compared to placebo, anticholinergics may result in an increase in dry mouth adverse events (RR 3.50, 95% CI 3.26 to 3.75; 66 studies, 38,368 participants; low-certainty evidence), and may result in an increased risk of urinary retention (RR 3.52, 95% CI 2.04 to 6.08; 17 studies, 7862 participants; low-certainty evidence). Taking anticholinergics may be more likely to lead to participants withdrawing from the studies due to adverse events (RR 1.37, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.56; 61 studies, 36,943 participants; low-certainty evidence). However, taking anticholinergics probably reduces the mean number of micturitions per 24-hour period compared to placebo (MD 0.85 lower, 95% CI 0.98 lower to 0.73 lower; 30 studies, 19,395 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The use of anticholinergic drugs by people with overactive bladder syndrome results in important but modest improvements in symptoms compared with placebo treatment. In addition, recent studies suggest that this is generally associated with only modest improvement in quality of life. Adverse effects were higher with all anticholinergics compared with placebo. Withdrawals due to adverse effects were also higher for all anticholinergics except tolterodine. It is not known whether any benefits of anticholinergics are sustained during long-term treatment or after treatment stops.

Abstract
Overactive bladder is a symptom complex consisting of bothersome storage urinary symptoms that is highly prevalent among both sexes and has a significant impact on quality of life. Various antimuscarinic agents and the beta-3 agonists mirabegron and vibegron are currently available for the treatment of OAB. Each drug has specific pharmacologic properties, dosing schedule and tolerability profile, making it essential to individualize the medical treatment for the patient's characteristics and expectations. In this manuscript, we review the most important factors involved in the contemporary pharmacological treatment of OAB.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the safety and efficacy of vibegron, a new β3-adrenoceptor agonist, in patients aged ≥65 years, with a focus on the effects on cardiovascular system and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. METHODS A post-hoc subgroup analysis was performed of a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind comparative phase 3 study of vibegron, including those assigned to receive either vibegron 50 mg (V50), vibegron 100 mg (V100), or placebo for 12 weeks. Subjects were stratified into two subgroups based on age: a <65-year subgroup and a ≥65-year subgroup. Safety (changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and residual urine volume) and efficacy (changes in the numbers of micturitions, urgency episodes, urgency urinary incontinence [UUI] episodes, and the voided volume/micturition) were assessed in the subgroups treated with vibegron vs. placebo. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the cardiovascular outcomes (blood pressure and pulse rate), nor in the changes in residual urine volume, between the V50/100 and placebo groups in the <65-year or ≥65-year subgroup after 12-week treatment. Adverse events were slightly increased in the ≥65-year subgroup. In the efficacy analysis, V50/100 demonstrated similar efficacy in the <65-year and ≥65-year subgroups; an increasing trend in the voided volume/micturition was observed in subjects aged ≥65 years compared to subjects aged <65 years. CONCLUSIONS Vibegron was suggested to be similarly effective in patients ≥65 and <65 years and to have minimal influence on cardiovascular parameters.

Abstract
The present article is an abridged English translation of the Japanese Clinical Guidelines for Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (second edition), published in September 2019. These guidelines consist of a total of 212 pages and are unique worldwide in that they cover female lower urinary tract symptoms other than urinary incontinence. They contain two algorithms for "primary treatment" and "specialized treatment," respectively. These guidelines, consisting of six chapters, address a total of 26 clinical questions including: (i) treatment algorithms; (ii) what are female lower urinary tract symptoms?; (iii) epidemiology and quality of life; (iv) pathology and illness; (v) diagnosis; and (vi) treatment. When the patient's symptoms mainly involve voiding and post-micturition symptoms, specialized treatment should be considered. In the event of voiding symptoms concurrent with storage symptoms, residual urine should be measured; if the residual urine volume is <100 mL, then diagnosis and treatment for storage symptoms is prioritized, and if the volume is ≥100 mL, then specialized treatment should be considered. When storage symptoms are the primary condition, then the patient is subject to the primary treatment algorithm. Specialized treatment for refractory overactive bladder includes botulinum toxin injection and sacral nerve stimulation. For stress urinary incontinence, surgical treatment is indicated, such as urethral slings. The two causes of voiding symptoms and post-micturition symptoms are lower urinary tract obstruction and detrusor underactivity (underactive bladder). Mechanical lower urinary tract obstruction, such as pelvic organ prolapse, is expected to improve with surgery.

Abstract
Objective To assess the relationship between visceral fat accumulation and lower urinary tract symptoms in female patients. Methods In this single‐center study, we enrolled all women who underwent screening abdominal computed tomography 3 months before the study, irrespective of whether they experienced lower urinary tract symptoms. The Overactive Bladder Symptom Score was used to assess subjective symptoms. Uroflowmetry and ultrasound assessment of post‐void residual urine were carried out to assess objective signs. We analyzed the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and various body fat accumulation parameters, including visceral fat area, visceral fat volume and total abdominal fat volume, assessed using computed tomography scans. Results A total of 182 patients were divided into the overactive bladder (n = 71, 39.0%) and the non‐overactive bladder (n = 111, 61.0%) groups. The visceral fat area, visceral fat volume and visceral fat volume/total abdominal fat volume values were all significantly higher in the overactive bladder group than in the non‐overactive bladder group (P < 0.001). Of these parameters, the visceral fat volume/total abdominal fat volume ratio showed the strongest correlation with the total Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (r = 0.394, P < 0.001). The maximum urine flow rate correlated negatively with the visceral fat volume/total abdominal fat volume value (visceral fat volume/total abdominal fat volume r = –0.289, P < 0.001). Subsequent multivariate analysis showed that a high visceral fat volume/total abdominal fat volume value, age and metabolic syndrome‐related diseases were independent risk factors for the presence of overactive bladder. Conclusions Excessive accumulation of visceral fat is independently associated with overactive bladder in females.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vibegron is a very selective new β3-adrenergic receptor agonist introduced recently to clinical practice for OAB patients, which offers an alternative option for to antimuscarinic drugs. AREAS COVERED This review presents the current knowledge concerning the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of vibegron. Moreover, it presents an overview of preclinical and phase II and phase III clinical studies on the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of this agent in patients suffering from OAB. EXPERT OPINION Clinical studies confirmed efficacy and safety of vibegron in OAB patients. Vibegron differ from well-known mirabegron with regards to its pharmacological profile because it is metabolized independently from CYP3A4, 2D6, or 2C9 and therefore is less likely to cause a drug-drug interaction. Moreover, since this drug does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, it could become the drug of choice in OAB patients with cognitive impairment. These properties have paved the way in near future for better-tailored treatments for OAB patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT A considerable number of studies addressing the management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have been published since 2018. OBJECTIVE To review the key studies involving pharmacological and neuromodulation treatment of LUTS published from 2018 onward. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. We conducted an Embase/PubMed search of English literature with the words "OAB" or "LUTS" matched with several different treatment modalities. The search ranged between January 2018 and January 2020. All retrieved papers were first reviewed by title and abstract, yielding a total of 236 papers. Additional manuscripts, such as those presented at major meetings, were also included. After revision, 46 publications were included. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Papers on β3-adrenoreceptor agonists were most abundant. The efficacy and safety of mirabegron in monotherapy and combination therapy were further confirmed by large observational studies and randomized control trials, including one carried out in elderly patients. The use of vibegron for overactive bladder (OAB) was effective and safe in pivotal clinical trials. More database analyses confirm the risk of dementia associated with long-term use of anticholinergics. Onabotulinum toxinA (OnabotA) and sacral neuromodulation provided similar improvement for incontinence in OAB patients at a 2-yr follow-up. Retrospective studies show that OnabotA is effective in men with OAB. New subcutaneous or transcutaneous devices for tibial nerve stimulation were investigated. The potential role of gene therapy in LUTS was assessed in a pilot study. CONCLUSIONS Important progresses occurred in the pharmacological and neuromodulation treatments of LUTS, which may change clinical practice. Inoculation of gene vectors was investigated for the first time. PATIENT SUMMARY The investigation in the therapeutic field of lower urinary tract symptoms is active. The search for the best option for each patient continues. This systematic review summarizes the findings of the most recent and relevant studies in the field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Overactive bladder is a prevalent symptom complex that affects the patient's quality of life. Any disruption between the neuronal micturition pathway can lead to bladder overactivity. Neurogenic causes, myogenic causes, aging, bladder outlet obstruction, sex, and psychological factors are some of the factors contributing to bladder overactivity. The complaint of any symptoms of OAB, which is highly prevalent and affects overall QOL, often needs therapeutic interventions. When conservative therapy methods fail, the addition of medications is recommended. The most commonly used agents for the treatment of OAB are antimuscarinic drugs. New classes of drugs, such as beta-3 agonists, have enriched our pharmacologic armamentarium. AREAS COVERED In this review, with a special focus on oral pharmacological treatments, we discussed the definition, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of OAB. EXPERT OPINION OAB is a multifactorial condition with every patient presenting with a different collection of symptoms and signs. Medical therapies should be given in conjunction with behavioral therapies. Using high or low doses, flexible doses, and stopping or changing the medications are interchangeable strategies based on the level of treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction.
