CARE Trial Full Name
Abdominal Sacrocolpopexy with Burch Colposuspension to Reduce Urinary Stress Incontinence
CARE Trial Alternative Name
Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Efforts (CARE)
Abdominal Sacrocolpopexy with Burch Colposuspension to Reduce Urinary Stress Incontinence - Acronym
Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Efforts (CARE)
CARE Trial Methods
Patients who selected ASC without significant SUI complaints get prophylactic Burch. 19% had SUI on CST.
CARE Trial Primary Outcome
Three months composite SUI (obj/sub/treat): 24% failure (SUI) Burch group vs 44% failure control.
CARE Trial Secondary Outcome
No significant difference between the Burch group and the control group in the frequency of urge incontinence (32.7 percent vs. 38.4 percent).
Control group was more likely to report bothersome stress incontinence than those in the Burch group who had stress incontinence (24.5 percent vs. 6.1 percent). SUI at 1 year: 20.9% Burch, 39.7% Control
TOMUS Trial Full Name
Retropubic versus Transobturator Midurethral Slings for Stress Incontinence
TOMUS Trial Alternative Name
The Trial of Mid-Urethral Slings (TOMUS)
Retropubic versus Transobturator Midurethral Slings for Stress Incontinence - Acronym
The Trial of Mid-Urethral Slings (TOMUS)
TOMUS Trial Primary Outcome - Methods
Treatment success at 12 months according to both objective criteria (a negative stress test, a negative pad test, and no retreatment) and subjective criteria (self-reported absence of symptoms, no leakage episodes recorded, and no retreatment).
TOMUS Trial Primary Outcome - Results
Objective success 80.8% in the retropubic-sling group and 77.7% in the transobturator-sling group (equivalence met).
Subjective success 62.2% and 55.8% (similar but not equivalent- wide margin).
TOMUS Trial Secondary Outcomes
The rates of voiding dysfunction requiring surgery were 2.7% in those who received retropubic slings and 0% in those who received transobturator slings (P=0.004), and the respective rates of neurologic symptoms were 4.0% and 9.4% TOT (P=0.01).
There were no significant differences between groups in postoperative urge incontinence, satisfaction with the results of the procedure, or quality of life.
PROSPECT Trial Full Name
Mesh, graft, or standard repair for women having primary transvaginal anterior or posterior compartment prolapse surgery: two parallel-group, multicentre, randomized, controlled trials
PROSPECT Trial Alternative Name
PROlapse Surgery: Pragmatic Evaluation and randomized Controlled Trials
Mesh, graft, or standard repair for women having primary transvaginal anterior or posterior compartment prolapse surgery: two parallel-group, multicentre, randomised, controlled trials - Acronym
PROlapse Surgery: Pragmatic Evaluation and randomised Controlled Trials (PROSPECT)
PROSPECT Trial Primary Outcome- Methods
Comparing standard (native tissue) repair alone with standard repair augmented with either synthetic mesh (the mesh trial) or biological graft (the graft trial).
1 and 2 Year: participant-reported prolapse symptoms (i.e. the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Symptom Score [POP-SS]) and condition-specific (ie, prolapse-related) quality-of-life scores, analysed in the modified intention-to-treat population.
PROSPECT Trial Primary Outcome - Results
Mean POP-SS and prolapse-related quality of life scores at 1 and 2 years did not differ substantially between comparisons (Standard vs mesh, and standard vs graft).
PROSPECT Trial Secondary Outcome
Serious adverse events such as infection, urinary retention, or dyspareunia or other pain, excluding mesh complications, occurred with similar frequency in the groups over 1 year.
12% of mesh had mesh complications
OPTIMAL Trial Full Name
Factorial comparison of two transvaginal surgical approaches and of perioperative behavioral therapy for women with apical vaginal prolapse
OPTIMAL Trial Alternative Name
Operations and Pelvic Muscle Training in the Management of Apical Support Loss (OPTIMAL)
Factorial comparison of two transvaginal surgical approaches and of perioperative behavioral therapy for women with apical vaginal prolapse - Acronym
Operations and Pelvic Muscle Training in the Management of Apical Support Loss (OPTIMAL)
OPTIMAL Trial Primary Outcome - Methods
Transvaginal surgery (everyone had mid-urethral sling included) with randomization to SSLF or USLS; Behavioral intervention: Randomization to perioperative BPMT or usual care.
Surgical success: 1) no apical descent greater than one-third into vaginal canal or anterior or posterior vaginal wall beyond the hymen (anatomic success); 2) no bothersome vaginal bulge symptoms and 3) no retreatment for prolapse at 2 years.
Behavioral intervention, primary outcome at 6 months was urinary symptom scores (Urinary Distress inventory), and primary outcomes at 2 years were prolapse symptom scores (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory) and anatomic success.
OPTIMAL Trial 5-Year Outcome
No significant difference between USLS and SSLF in rates of surgical failure and no significant difference between perioperative behavioral muscle training and usual care on rates of anatomic success and symptom scores at 5 years.
Compared with outcomes at 2 years, rates of surgical failure increased during the follow-up period, although prolapse symptom scores remained improved.
OPTIMAL Trial Primary Outcome - Results
2 year Surgical Success: USLS = SSLF, 59% vs 61%
2 year Behavioral success: BPMT Does NOT help UDI or POPDI, or anatomic success.
Secondary: Serious adverse events similar USLS = SSLF
SISTER Trial Full Name
Burch Colposuspension versus Fascial Sling to Reduce Urinary Stress Incontinence
SISTER Trial Alternative Name
The Stress Incontinence Surgical Treatment Efficacy Trial (SISTEr)
Burch Colposuspension versus Fascial Sling to Reduce Urinary Stress Incontinence - Acronym
The Stress Incontinence Surgical Treatment Efficacy Trial (SISTEr)
SISTER Trial Primary Outcome - Methods
Pubovaginal sling vs Burch randomized among women with SUI and hypermobility.
Success in terms of overall urinary-incontinence measures, negative pad test, no urinary incontinence in a 3-day diary, negative cough and Valsalva stress test, no self-reported symptoms, and no retreatment.
SUI specific success - negative cough, no self-reported, no retreatment.
SISTER Trial Primary Outcome - Results
2 Year Pubovaginal Sling higher success than Burch.
Overall success: 47% vs 38%
SUI Success: 66% vs 49%
