This study investigated the real-life practice of intravesical BoNT-A injection for patients with IC/BPS. METHODS: This retrospective study included IC/BPS patients treated with 100U BoNT-A intravesical injection in the past twenty years. The treatment outcomes were assessed by the global response assessment (GRA) at 6 months post treatment. The treatment outcome was assessed by classification according to the GRA, clinical symptoms, urodynamic parameters, cystoscopic characteristics, and urine biomarkers, and the predictive factors for a satisfactory outcome were investigated. RESULTS: Of a total of 220 patients (180 females, 40 males) enrolled in this study who received the BoNT-A injection, only 87 (40%) of patients had significantly satisfactory treatment outcomes; the satisfactory group has a significantly larger voided-volume, a lower urinary inflammatory protein MCP-1, and oxidative stress biomarker 8-isoprostane than the unsatisfactory group (Table 1). The IC severity and detrusor pressure are predictive factors to affect treatment outcomes under BoNT-A injection (Figure 1). CONCLUSIONS: IC/BPS patients with less inflammation in the bladder have a satisfactory outcome to intravesical BoNT-A injection. Patients with higher grade of bladder inflammation might need more intravesical BoNT-A injections to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
