A Randomized Non‐Inferiority Trial for Telemedicine in the Follow‐Up of Overactive Bladder Patients
In this prospective, randomized trial, the telemedicine approach for the management of OAB was found to be non-inferior across patient satisfaction and efficacy, while comparing favorably in decreasing patient burden. Interestingly, the composite measure of safety showed higher utilization of outside care in the in-person cohort. Telemedicine offers an alternative option for care delivery for OAB that may result in improved satisfaction and compliance, and decreased cost, time, and travel burden for patients, allowing urologists to extend care to rural communities and non-mobile patients.
