Abstract
Prodrome cases developed urinary symptoms in their early 20s (ie, the prodrome) and were at very high risk of numerous NBSs. Non-prodrome cases developed urinary symptoms in their early 40s (ie, full-blown BPS/IC) and were no more likely than controls to have the maximal number of NBSs. These findings are consistent with recent suggestions of two BPS/IC phenotypes: one with systemic and psychosocial manifestations and the other more specific to the bladder. Additionally, several risk factors identified here might be hints of related or causal nervous system pathophysiologies.
