: Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI), particularly the urge-predominant subtype, involves both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI), posing a therapeutic challenge. Duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), enhances urethral tone, while tolterodine, an antimuscarinic agent, reduces detrusor overactivity. Their combination may offer synergistic benefits. : The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of duloxetine and tolterodine combination therapy in urge-predominant MUI and identify factors influencing treatment success. : A retrospective study was conducted on 106 patients (mean age: 56.45 years) with urge-predominant MUI treated with duloxetine (40 mg twice daily) and tolterodine (4 mg once daily) for 12 weeks. Treatment outcomes were evaluated using the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), 24 h pad test, and Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of success. : Significant improvements were observed: OABSS decreased from 11.08 to 6.95, ICIQ-SF decreased from 15.69 to 8.84, and pad use decreased from 3.58 to 0.73/day (all 0.0001). Bladder capacity increased from 315.09 mL to 436.32 mL. Baseline ICIQ-SF scores were independent predictors of success (odds ratio [OR] = 2.919, = 0.001). Patient satisfaction reached 77.4%, with mild side effects (constipation and dizziness) in 14 patients. : Duloxetine and tolterodine combination therapy significantly improved symptoms and quality of life in urge-predominant MUI. Baseline ICIQ-SF scores may predict treatment success. Further prospective studies are needed.
混合性尿失禁(MUI),尤其是以急迫性为主的亚型,同时涉及压力性尿失禁(SUI)和急迫性尿失禁(UUI),这带来了治疗挑战。度洛西汀是一种5-羟色胺-去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂(SNRI),可增强尿道张力,而托特罗定是一种抗毒蕈碱药物,可减少逼尿肌过度活动。它们的联合使用可能会带来协同效益。:本研究的目的是评估度洛西汀和托特罗定联合治疗以急迫性为主的MUI的疗效,并确定影响治疗成功的因素。:对106例以急迫性为主的MUI患者(平均年龄:56.45岁)进行了一项回顾性研究,这些患者接受度洛西汀(每日两次,每次40mg)和托特罗定(每日一次,每次4mg)治疗12周。使用膀胱过度活动症症状评分(OABSS)、国际尿失禁咨询问卷简表(ICIQ-SF)、24小时护垫试验和临床总体印象量表(CGI)评估治疗结果。进行单因素和多因素回归分析以确定成功的预测因素。:观察到显著改善:OABSS从11.08降至6.95,ICIQ-SF从15.69降至8.84,护垫使用量从每天3.58片降至0.73片(所有P<0.0001)。膀胱容量从315.09mL增加到436.32mL。基线ICIQ-SF评分是成功的独立预测因素(优势比[OR]=2.919,P=0.001)。患者满意度达到77.4%,14例患者出现轻度副作用(便秘和头晕)。:度洛西汀和托特罗定联合治疗显著改善了以急迫性为主的MUI的症状和生活质量。基线ICIQ-SF评分可能预测治疗成功。需要进一步的前瞻性研究。
