Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: The main secondary outcome measure is "warning time". This is defined as the interval between first noticing strong desire to pass urine, and the moment when the patient does pass urine, or leak. This measure is important to patients because an increased warning time gives an increased time to find a toilet, reducing social inconvenience, and the possibility of leaking. Previous trials have shown that successful treatment with anticholnergic medicines can prolong warning time. ;Primary end point(s): 6 or 14 weeks, depending on patient choice.; Main Objective: The trial investigates the benefits of Kentera, a new transdermal preparation of oxybutynin for overactive bladder syndrome. The principal outcome measure is achievement of patient-selected goals, and compares this to more conventional quality of life and urinary frequency outcome measures. Patient-selected goals are an outcome measure designed to capture elements of the patient experience that would ordinarily be overlooked by clinicians. Allowing the patient to choose her own goals and then rate their achievement, reflects the improvements that actually matter to patients. | — |
