Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the persistence with solifenacin
therapy over a 12-month period in patients with overactive bladder (OAB). Meth-
ods: This is a 52-week long, multicenter, prospective, observational study. The
subjects were individuals ≥ 18 years old with OAB symptoms for ≥ 3 months,
characterised by a total OAB Symptom Score (OABSS) of ≥ 3 and OABSS urgency
item score of ≥ 2. Patients were prescribed 5 mg or 10 mg of solifenacin once
daily for OAB symptoms. Drug persistence, reasons for discontinuation and factors
related to the persistence were evaluated. Results: A total of 1018 patients (329
men, 689 women) with a mean age of 59 years were included. The 52-week drug
persistence rate was 22.1%. The drug persistence rates at 12, 24 and 36 weeks
were 72.4%, 45.8% and 31.1% respectively. The three most common reasons for
discontinuing therapy included symptom improvement in 30.4%, lack of efficacy in
13.4%, and a switch to another antimuscarinic agent in 10.8%. Older patients
(odds ratio = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01–1.04), and female patients (odds ratio = 1.94,
95% CI: 1.37–2.75) were more likely to continue the medication over the 12-
month period than were younger, male patients. The number of nocturia episodes
was negatively correlated with drug persistence (odds ratio = 0.83, 95% CI:
0.71–0.97). Conclusions: There was low persistence (22%) to solifenacin therapy
for OAB symptoms over a 12-month period. Older patients, female patients and
those with fewer episodes of nocturia were more persistent to therapy than were others.
