Scenario Planning Amid Radical Uncertainty
Carolyn Geason-Beissel/MIT SMR | Getty Images “What’s the best-case scenario that you can logically describe?” As an academic and adviser who has spent more than 30 years forecasting future intersections of people and the political economy through the lens of technological change, I’m often asked that question. My answer is always the same: Best-case scenarios… →

Invasive urodynamic investigations in the management of women with refractory overactive bladder symptoms: FUTURE, a superiority RCT and economic evaluation
CONCLUSION: Participant-reported success in the urodynamics arm was not superior to the comprehensive clinical assessment only arm at 15-months follow-up. Urodynamics is not cost-effective at a threshold of £20,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained. Longer-term follow-up is required to explore need for further interventions and treatments and their effect on the clinical and cost-effectiveness analyses. →

Urodynamics tests for the diagnosis and management of male bladder outlet obstruction: long-term follow-up of the UPSTREAM non-inferiority RCT
CONCLUSIONS: Five-year follow-up does not support the introduction of invasive urodynamics in reducing lower urinary tract symptoms or rates of prostate surgery, from a clinical or cost-effectiveness perspective. →
