Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Reference values for the Nocturnal Bladder Capacity Index.
The Nocturnal Bladder Capacity Index (NBCi) has been reported to be useful in distinguishing between nocturia caused by low bladder capacity and nocturnal polyuria. This paper aims to calculate reference values for NBCi from an asymptomatic population by comparing these with NBCi values from patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to obtain an indication of the sensitivity with which the NBCi detects low nocturnal bladder capacity. This paper also compares the sensitivity of rounded and unrounded calculations of NBCi. ⋯ We suggest that an unrounded NBCi of 1.3 be considered a cutoff point above which reduced nocturnal bladder capacity should be investigated as a cause of nocturia. Rounding the NBCi lead to an underestimation of elevated values in a population of female patients with LUTS.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Investigation of the clinical efficacy and safety of pregabalin alone or combined with tolterodine in female subjects with idiopathic overactive bladder.
To assess the efficacy and safety of pregabalin alone or in combination with tolterodine extended release (ER) in subjects with idiopathic OAB. ⋯ Pregabalin, alone or with tolterodine ER may offer an alternative treatment option for idiopathic OAB in women.
