Why?
Relevance of NICE to GPs NICE provides the evidence base for Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF)
Relevance of NICE to GPs NICE provides the evidence base for Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) NICE pathways define appropriate transfer of care from GP to specialist care

Key recommendations Antimuscarinic drugs Mirabegron
NICE Key recommendations “At the initial assessment, the woman’s UI should be categorised as stress UI, mixed UI, or urge UI / OAB. Initial treatment should be started on this basis. In mixed UI, treatment should be directed towards the predominant symptom.” “expert opinion concludes that symptomatic categorisation of UI based on reports from the woman and history taking is sufficiently reliable to inform initial, non-invasive treatment decisions”
Who takes the best history? Prim Care Sec Care Patient Q KHQ Stress only Mixed OAB Not Classified
History taking More detailed history may be more accurate
e-PAQ
EPAQ Comprehensive, validated questionnaire Provides a database of patient details Outcome analysis Potential for online use Referral from primary to secondary care Care integration triage
NICE Key recommendations Management of OAB Lifestyle advice / behavioural therapy Pelvic floor physiotherapy Drug therapies PTNS Botox SNS
NICE Guideline 2006 Drug therapies 1 st IR oxybutinin (if training ineffective) 2 nd solifenacin, tolterodine, darifenacin etc or transdermal oxybutinin

Mirabegron Betmiga B adrenergic agonist First in class Similar efficacy to tolterodine Adverse events
Mirabegron Betmiga B adrenergic agonist First in class Similar efficacy to tolterodine Adverse events “treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar between the mirabegron 50 mg (26.2%) and tolterodine groups (27.6%), the incidence of treatment related serious adverse events (SAEs) was 1.2% in the mirabegron 50 mg group and 0.6% in the tolterodine group and the incidence of treatment-related TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation was 4.3% in the mirabegron 50 mg group and 3.8% in the tolterodine group.”
