For each question, scores categorized into 3 levels of response, level 1=no health problems, 2=some problems and 3= extreme problems, and health state profile utility score derived from these, which could range from 1 prefect health to -0.594 worst possible health. Change = observation minus baseline, where higher scores indicated a better health state.
Change From Baseline in EQ-5D- Each Dimension Score at Week 12
EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess HRQL in terms of a single utility score. Health State Profile component assessed level of current health for 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression; 1 indicated better health state; 3 indicated worst health state. Scoring formula assigned utility value for each domain in profile. Score was transformed and results in total score could have ranged from -0.594 to 1.000; Change = observation minus baseline, where higher scores indicated a better health state.

MMSE measured general cognitive functioning: orientation, memory, attention, calculation, language, visuospatial functions. Total score derived from sub-scores; total ranged from 0 - 30, higher score indicated better cognitive state. Change = observation minus baseline where higher scores indicated better cognitive functioning.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The drug being studied, fesoterodine fumarate helps prevent the bladder neck opening at unwanted times and has been shown to help patients with overactive bladder syndrome pass urine less frequently than before treatment. It is postulated that this drug will also prove effective in elderly patients (aged > 65 years) and that the ability to change dose between 4 and 8mg will allow each patient to have an optimised treatment.

Change From Baseline in PPUS at Week 12
Description
PPUS: self-administered, single-item, questionnaire that measured the participant's perception of urinary urgency. It was sensitive to changes in perceptions of urinary urgency over time. Scale of 0 (usually not able to hold urine), 1 (usually able to hold urine [without leaking] until reaching toilet if go to toilet immediately), or 2 (usually able to finish what he/she was doing before going to toilet [without leaking]). Change = observation minus baseline. Improvement in PPUS defined as increase of 1 or more points in difference of scores relative to baseline.

Change From Baseline in Overactive Bladder Satisfaction Questionnaire (OAB-q) Symptom/Bother Score at Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 24
Description
OAB-q: self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire assessed how much participant was bothered by selected bladder symptoms during previous week. Each item rated by participant on Likert scale 1 (least symptom bother) to 6 (most symptom bother). Raw scores transformed to a score from 0-100 where higher scores represented less favorable outcome. Change = baseline minus observation and higher scores were an improvement.

Description
OAB-q: self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire assessed how much participant bothered by bladder symptoms during previous week. Each item rated by participant on Likert scale 1 (least symptom bother) to 6 (most symptom bother). Raw scores transformed to 0-100 score where higher scores were less favorable outcome. Questions 1-8 constituted symptom severity/bother score. Questions 9-33 constitute HRQL component, which included domains of coping, concern, sleep, and social function. Change = observation minus baseline and higher scores were an improvement.

Title
Change From Week 12 in Overactive Bladder Satisfaction (OAB-S) Scale for Satisfaction With OAB Control at Week 24
Description
OAB-S: validated self-administered instrument that evaluated OAB medication expectations, daily life with OAB, and satisfaction with OAB medication and included 3 stand-alone items that assessed overall expectation, satisfaction, and willingness to continue treatment. Satisfaction coded on scale of 1-5: (1-very satisfied to 5-very dissatisfied). Coding reversed algorithmically and results transformed: total score range 0-100. Higher final response value associated with better satisfaction. Change = score at Week 24 minus score at Week 12 where higher scores indicated better satisfaction.
Time Frame
Weeks 12 and 24
Title
Change From Week 12 in OAB-S Scale for OAB Medication Expectation at Week 24
Description
OAB-S: evaluated OAB medication expectations, daily life with OAB, and satisfaction with OAB medication. Included 3 stand-alone items that assessed overall expectation, satisfaction, and willingness to continue treatment. Medication expectation coded on scale 1=Greatly exceeds my expectations to 5=Does not meet my expectations at all. Coding reversed by subtracting initial response value from 6, so higher final response value associated with better fulfilment of OAB medication expectations.
Time Frame
Weeks 12 and 24
Title
Change From Baseline in King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) Domain Scores at Week 12
Description
KHQ: self-administered questionnaire contained 21 questions scored in 9 domains (general health perception, incontinence impact, role limitations, physical limitations, social limitations, personal relationships, emotions, sleep/energy, severity of urinary symptoms). Range: 0-100, where 0=best outcome/response and 100=worst outcome/response. Change = observation minus baseline, where lower scores indicated better outcome/response.

Title
Change From Baseline in EQ-5D- Health State Profile Utility Score at Week 12
Description
EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess HRQL in terms of single index value. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) component rated current health state on scale from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). For each question, scores categorized into 3 levels of response, level 1=no health problems, 2=some problems and 3= extreme problems, and health state profile utility score derived from these, which could range from 1 prefect health to -0.594 worst possible health. Change = observation minus baseline, where higher scores indicated a better health state.

Health State Profile component assessed level of current health for 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression; 1 indicated better health state; 3 indicated worst health state. Scoring formula assigned utility value for each domain in profile. Score was transformed and results in total score could have ranged from -0.594 to 1.000; Change = observation minus baseline, where higher scores indicated a better health state.

Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Percentage of Participants With Improvement at Week 24
Description
Patient Treatment Benefit Scale (PTBS): single-item scale assessed fesoterodine efficacy and safety in participants with overactive bladder. Participants asked to compare their present condition with their condition before start of trial: "My condition has been: 1=Greatly Improved; 2=Improved; 3=Not Changed; 4=Worsened, During Treatment." Treatment Response was set to "Yes" if the first 2 categories (1 or 2) of the scale selected and "No" if the last 2 categories (3 or 4) were selected. Improvement was defined as a rating of 1 or 2.

Description
Nocturnal micturitions were defined as micturitions with USS rating 1-5 that occurred between the time the participant went to bed and the time he or she arose to start the next day. USS rating: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine. Calculated as number of nocturnal micturitions divided by number of diary days collected at that visit. Change = observation minus baseline, where lower scores were an improvement/decrease in nocturnal micturitions.

Title
Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Micturitions Per 24 Hours at Week 24
Description
Micturitions include episodes of voluntary micturition and episodes of UUI. UUI episodes defined as those micturitions with USS rating of 5 (unable to hold; leak urine) in the diary in participants with UUI at baseline.
