Do Local Multidisciplinary Team Meetings in the UK Alter Management Recommendations for Invasive Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence?
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisTraditional single-specialty approaches may be insufficient for managing surgical interventions in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Limited data exist on the effectiveness of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) in the decision-making process since NICE introduced the concept in 2013. This study evaluates the impact of a purpose-designed MDT on SUI management from 2017 to 2019.
methodsMonthly MDT meetings at a university hospital and a district general hospital reviewed cases of women considering invasive treatment for primary SUI. Attendees included gynaecologists, urologists, continence nurses, physiotherapists, and administrative staff. Discussions focussed on patient history, urodynamics, treatment preferences, and final recommendations. Data on age, parity, BMI, diagnoses, and treatment plans were analysed using SPSS Statistics (version 23).
resultsA total of 123 women were discussed (mean age 54.5 years, mean BMI 30.8). Of 96 cases with MDT decisions, colposuspension was most recommended (46.9%), followed by bulking agent injection (37.5%) and autologous fascial sling (8.3%). MDTs altered management in 19/123 cases (15.4%), primarily shifting towards less invasive interventions. No mesh tape procedures were recommended despite availability. Among 86 women who identified priorities, cure from leakage (96.5%) and avoiding repeat surgery (47.7%) ranked highest.
conclusionMDT discussions influenced treatment decisions by favouring conservative management options in many women. Patient preferences were fully considered during MDT discussions. Further studies should be conducted to assess long-term clinical outcomes following MDT recommendations.
