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
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 • NICE quality standards should form the basis for assessing the quality of the new GP commissioners
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”

History taking • More detailed history may be more accurate
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 1st IR oxybutinin (if training ineffective) 2nd solifenacin, tolterodine, darifenacin etc or transdermal oxybutinin
NICE Guideline 2013 Problems with the literature on anti-muscarinic drugs • Most studies compare drug to placebo
NICE Guideline 2013 Problems with the literature on anti-muscarinic drugs • Most studies compare drug to placebo • Outcome measures vary with different trials
NICE Guideline 2013 Problems with the literature on anti-muscarinic drugs • Most studies compare drug to placebo • Outcome measures vary with different trials • Head to head comparison difficult
NICE Guideline 2013 Problems with the literature on anti-muscarinic drugs • Most studies compare drug to placebo • Outcome measures vary with different trials • Head to head comparison difficult • Compliance in trials vs real life
NICE Guideline 2013 Network Metanalysis of drugs Drug B vs placebo Drug A vs placebo Drug C vs placebo
NICE Guideline 2013 Network Metanalysis of drugs Robust outcome measures Similar regimes Adverse event / compliance Incontinence Higher dose 12 weeks
NICE Guideline 2013 Anti-muscarinic drugs Conclusions Incontinent /dry only robust outcome All drugs are of similar efficacy Compliance varies from 20% to 35% at 12 months Cost
Anti-muscarinic drugs • Is the additional cost of the better tolerated drugs worth paying for?
MirabegronBetmiga • B adrenergic agonist • First in class • Similar efficacy to tolterodine • Adverse events
MirabegronBetmiga • 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.”
NICE guidelines for urinary incontinence in primary care Conclusions • Pathways and standards are important • Commissioning • Treatment choices are difficult • GP input to NICE GDG
