On multivariable analysis, the only significant predictor of the development of complications was the route of injection of bulking agents (odds ratio 3\u00b740, 95 per cent confidence interval 1\u00b762 to 7\u00b712; P = 0\u00b7001). Two variables were significant predictors of a successful short-term outcome: the use of either PTQ\u00ae (OR 5\u00b793, 2\u00b721 to 16\u00b712; P = 0\u00b7001) or Coaptite\u00ae (OR 10\u00b774, 1\u00b773 to 65\u00b731; P = 0\u00b7001) was associated with a greater likelihood of success. Conversely, the use of local anaesthetic was associated with a lower likelihood of success (OR 0\u00b718, 0\u00b705 to 0\u00b759; P = 0\u00b7005). Failure to use laxatives in the postoperative period resulted in a poorer medium- to longer-term outcome (OR 0\u00b713, 0\u00b706 to 0\u00b725; P = 0\u00b7001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This systematic review has identified variations in the practice of injection of bulking agents that appear to
