    Abstract Purpose: For male cancer survivors, the combination of stress urinary incontinence and recurrent bladder neck contracture presents a management dilemma with poor consensus. Our objective was to assess the impact of artificial urinary sphincter placement on bladder neck contracture recurrence among prostate cancer survivors with stress urinary incontinence and bladder neck contracture.
    Materials and methods: Men electing artificial urinary sphincter placement at our institution undergo synchronous bladder neck contracture treatment if indicated. An institutional database was queried for men with stress urinary incontinence and ≥1 intervention for bladder neck contracture. Records were divided according to whether an artificial urinary sphincter was ever placed. The impact of artificial urinary sphincter placement on bladder neck contracture recurrence was assessed using a multivariable conditional survival analysis, with survival defined as the recurrence-free interval following bladder neck contracture intervention. The proportional hazards assumption was assessed on the basis of Schoenfeld residuals.
    Results: The analytic cohort consisted of 118 in the artificial urinary sphincter group and 88 in the non-artificial urinary sphincter group. Patients in both groups underwent a median of 2 (range 1-8) bladder neck contracture interventions over the entire course of their care, encompassing 445 total bladder neck contracture interventions. The artificial urinary sphincter group was on average 2.6 years younger (
    Conclusions: Artificial urinary sphincter placement is associated with a lower rate of bladder neck contracture re-intervention. Artificial urinary sphincter placement should not be delayed or avoided due to the presence of bladder neck contracture.

    Abstract Objective: To determine clinical, surgical and urodynamic attributes associated with earlier AUS reintervention. The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard treatment for postprostatectomy stress urinary incontinence. Factors impacting long-term device survival have not been investigated.
    Materials and methods: We identified men with post-prostatectomy incontinence who underwent AUS reintervention from 2011 to 2021 at a single center. Urodynamic study, pad weights and voiding diaries are routinely assessed prior to AUS placement. Relationships between clinical, urodynamic and surgical variables and AUS reintervention were assessed using cox regression. Multiple imputation of chained equations was used to handle missing data elements, with truncated linear regression for continuous variables and logistic regression for binary variables.
    Results: A total of 524 records were reviewed and 92 met inclusion. Median time to AUS reintervention was 5.7 years (2.3, 9.4). Indications were mechanical failure (38; 41.3%), sub-cuff atrophy (37; 40.2%), erosion/infection (11; 11.9%) and other (6; 6.5%). On univariable testing, earlier intervention was associated with pad weight (P < .01), nocturnal voids (P = .01), bladder capacity (P = .01), bladder volume at strong sensation (P = .03), detrusor overactivity (P < .01) and maximum voiding pressure (P = .02). On multivariable analysis, earlier surgical intervention was associated with detrusor overactivity (HR 1.95, P < .01 CI 1.22-3.1) and pad weight (HR 1.0006, P = .02, CI 1.000-1.001).
    Conclusions: Detrusor overactivity is associated with significantly shorter time to AUS failure. This information may allow for more individualized counseling.

    Abstract Objective: To characterize and quantify changes in elastic properties and in vivo pressure characteristics of pressure regulating balloons (PRB) over time, we conducted an analysis of the mechanical characteristics of the PRB after removal from patients for revision surgery.
    Methods: Pressure and elasticity characteristics of new and used 61-70 cm H
    Results: Twenty-seven used PRBs were analyzed after excluding 3 for alternative pressure ratings and 2 for occult pinpoint leaks. Time from artificial urinary sphincter placement to removal ranged from 0.02-17.6 years (median 8.4, interquartile range (IQR) 5.7-10.0). The mean pressure of all extracted PRBs: 58.8 cm H=O (± 7.4), 17 (62.9%) below the standard operating range. Each year of use in-vivo was associated with 1.09 cm H
    Conclusion: In PRBs tested for pressure-volume characteristics, increasing PRB age was associated with decreased pressure and elasticity.

    Abstract Purpose: To learn whether the COVID-19 pandemic's disruptions and associated reduced health outcomes for people with chronic conditions might have been caused by a decrease in care management processes (CMPs) in primary care clinics METHODS: Longitudinal cohort design with repeated survey-based measures of CMPs from 2017, 2019, and 2021 in 269 primary care clinics in Minnesota.
    Results: There were only small differences in organizational characteristics and no differences in overall CMPs between the 269 clinics analyzed and the 287 that only completed surveys in 1 or 2 years. Overall CMP scores rose by similar amounts (1.6% and 2.1%) from 2017 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2021. In 2021, CMP scores were lower in small medical groups than in large medical groups in 2017 (66.1% vs 78.5%,
    Conclusions: Although quite disrupted by the pandemic, care management processes for chronic disease care in these resilient primary care clinics actually increased from 2019 to 2021, at least in clinics that were part of large organizations. However, that was not true for clinics from smaller groups and perhaps for other areas of care.

    Abstract Objective: To treat men with bladder neck contracture (BNC) and stress urinary incontinence, neither long-term nor comparative data exist to support the superiority of simultaneous BNC intervention at the time of artificial urinary sphincter placement (synchronous) or staged BNC intervention followed by artificial urinary sphincter placement (asynchronous). This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients treated with synchronous and asynchronous protocols.
    Methods: Using a prospectively maintained quality improvement database, we identified all men between the years of 2001-2021 with a history of BNC and artificial urinary sphincter placement. Baseline patient characteristics and outcome measures were collected. Categorical data were assessed with Pearson's Chi-square, and continuous data were assessed using independent sample t tests or the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test.
    Results: In total, 112 men met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-two patients were treated synchronously, and 80 were treated asynchronously. There were no significant differences between groups across 15 relevant variables. Overall follow-up duration was 7.1 (2.8, 13.1) years. Three (9.3%) in the synchronous group and 13 (16.2%) in the asynchronous group experienced an erosion. There were no significant differences in frequency of erosion, time to erosion, artificial sphincter revision, time to revision, or BNC recurrence. BNC recurrences after artificial sphincter placement were treated with serial dilation with no early device failure or erosion.
    Conclusion: Similar outcomes are achieved following synchronous and asynchronous treatment of BNC and stress urinary incontinence. Synchronous approaches should be considered safe and effective for men with stress urinary incontinence and BNC.
