We determined whether clinical parameters alone without cystoscopic evaluation could reliably distinguish the patient with Hunner's ulcer vs nonHunner's ulcer disease. Data were collected on 184 women and 39 men who met National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases criteria for interstitial cystitis and who were evaluated at our institution between 1990 and 2005. A total of 86 patients with Hunner's ulcer were consecutively identified. Of patients with nonHunner's ulcer disease seen during that period a cohort of 137 who were consecutively identified were selected as a comparison group. Clinical data on each patient were collected. The groups were compared by the 2-sample t test, the Mann-Whitney test when appropriate and the chi-square test. No significant differences in clinical parameters were found between women and men in either group. The female-to-male ratio was 6:1 and 3:1 in the nonHunner's ...Continue Reading
