Aims: The Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN) is undertaking a new cohort study in LURN II including cases and controls.
Methods: This new cohort was enrolled to specifically study urinary urgency and urgency urinary incontinence, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) that are often difficult to treat due to a lack of understanding of their phenotypes and pathophysiologies.
Results: This paper will focus on the motivation for the second iteration of LURN and highlight the new research techniques and plans for more thorough phenotyping of this population.
Conclusions: This paper will outline the gaps in understanding in treating LUTSs, specifically urinary urgency.
Keywords: lower urinary tract dysfunction; lower urinary tract symptoms; overactive bladder; phenotyping; urgency urinary incontinence; urinary urgency; voiding.
