Incidence of New or Worsening Overactive Bladder Among Patients with a Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Literature is sparse on COVID-19-associated cystitis (CAC), a novel condition comprising frequency, urgency, and nocturia after COVID-19 infection. OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of CAC and correlation with SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a...

description | BACKGROUND: Literature is sparse on COVID-19-associated cystitis (CAC), a novel condition comprising frequency, urgency, and nocturia after COVID-19 infection. OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of CAC and correlation with SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was a retrospective study in which urinary symptoms were scored using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-overactive bladder (ICIQ-OAB) at three time points: before the pandemic (January 2020), 2 mo after COVID-19 infection (if applicable), and at the time of the study (May 2021). The setting was a regional health care system. The 18 785 healthcare employees who took part in the BLAST COVID study group were invited to participate, of whom 1895 responded. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The outcome measured was the percentage of COVID-positive patients with a significant change on ICIQ-OAB over time. Pearson’s χ(2) test was used for comparison of categorical data, and one-way analysis of variance for continuous data and multivariate analysis. A sample size of 618 was calculated for power of 80% and α = 0.05. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Of the 1895 participants, 31.9% (n = 605) were positive for COVID-19 according to positive serology or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. Of these, 492 were PCR-positive and had 2-mo postinfection data, with 36.4% (179/492) reporting an increase of ≥1 point on the ICIQ-OAB compared to baseline (before the pandemic), with de novo OAB in 22% of these cases (40/179). Comparison of symptoms between baseline and the study time revealed that 27.4% (31/113) of those with positive serology only (asymptomatic COVID) and 37.8% (186/492) of those with PCR positivity (symptomatic COVID) had an increase of ≥1 point on the ICIQ-OAB, compared to 15.8% (n = 204) of uninfected patients, with odds ratios of 2.013 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.294–3.138; p = 0.0015) and 3.236 (95% CI 2.548–4.080; p < 0.0001), respectively. The retrospective nature of the study and the volunteer sample are limitations. CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 infection increases the risk of developing new or worsening OAB symptoms. PATIENT SUMMARY: We compared overactive bladder symptoms in a large group of participants between individuals with and without a previous COVID-19 infection. We found that symptomatic infection was associated with a three times greater risk of developing new or worsening overactive bladder symptoms among COVID-19 patients. |
