  1. Comorbidities, complications and critical events based on specific inpatient primary/secondary or outpatient secured diagnosis. Patients are initiating IC at index, however it is possible they have had indwelling catheters or other therapies in the pre-index period. Critical events: diagnosis of UTI/ other infection and in the same quarter one of the combinations. Prophylactic antibiotics: prescriptions in at least two quarters of the same year
  2. IC intermittent catheterization, FP follow-up, UTI urinary tract infection
  3. *Comorbidities/complication groups based on ICD-10 codes—see additional file 1: Appendix
  4. **Critical events based on combinations of ICD-10 codes and/or ATC codes and/or EBM codes—see Additional file 1: Appendix
