“…There are currently several questionnaires for the assessment of BBD in children. Since the BBDQ was applied to over 1200 children, it was applied to children in a wide age range, and in this respect, it was found to be safe in terms of ease of application and ability to categorize BBDQ [15]. In the present study, there was a difference in the BBDQ scores in both groups.…”

Objective. The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of reformer pilates exercises on symptoms and quality of life in children with bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD). Methods. Children diagnosed as having BBD by a physician and aged between 5-18 years were included in this study. They were divided into two groups: urotherapy group (control) and reformer pilates group (study). Written consent was obtained from both the children and the parents. Children in both groups received a standardized urotherapy. The study group also had 30 minutes of reformer pilates exercise sessions for 2 days a week. BBD symptoms were assessed using the Voiding Disorder Symptom Scoring (VDSS) and Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction Questionnaire (BBDQ). Quality of life was assessed using the Pediatric Incontinence Questionnaire (PinQ). Assessments were performed before and 8 weeks after the reformer pilates exercises. Results. The study included 25 children (10 [40%] boys and 15 [60%] girls). Their median age was 9 years and their body mass index was 17.58 kg/m2. Of these 25 children, 16 were born by normal delivery, 9 of whom were delivered by cesarean section. None of the children used diapers during the day, but 10 of them continued to use diapers at night. The control (n = 16) and study (n = 9) groups were similar in terms of physical properties. The VDSS, BBDQ, and PinQ scores were significantly decreased in both groups (p < 0.05). The decrease in BBDQ and VDSS scores were more prominent in the study group than in the control group. The clinical trial registration number of this study is NCT05779709 (ClinicalTrials.gov.) Conclusion. Reformer pilates exercises can provide additional benefits in the treatment of children with BBD as they were effective in reducing BDD symptoms and enhancing quality of life.

“…Furthermore, the evaluation of treatment response should be tested in further studies. The idea of conducting an OAB/BBD questionnaire is not new and recent questionnaires provided more questions about constipation depending on ROME criteria 15,16 . However, in our questionnaire, we tried to provide a tool that can help distinguish between OAB and constipation.…”

Introduction: We sought to evaluate the reliability and validity of a new, illustrated questionnaire, the bladder bowel dysfunction symptom score (BBDSS) in the assessment of overactive bladder (OAB) and bladder bowel dysfunction (BBD). Methods: The BBDSS questionnaire consisted of 12 structured questions. This pilot study was designed with two principal groups of questions: one group to assess bladder symptoms and the other to assess bowel dysfunction during the preceding month. Each question had three possible answers, with each answer being assigned a severity score. We prospectively collected previously untreated patients referred to our voiding dysfunction clinic for the first time. A control group of healthy children was recruited to assess the reliability of the BBDSS questionnaire. The provisional diagnosis was collected from patients’ charts at the time of presentation. Results: The questionnaire was administered to 92 children (44 in the affected group and 48 in the control group). The age at presentation was similar in both groups (17 months or nine years, nine months). The mean total score for the affected group was 8.7 (3–14) while it was 1.19 (0–5) for the control group (p<0.001). There was a strong correlation, between the total BBDSS score and both groups (r=0.88, p<0.001). Using the ROC curve, the BBDSS was found to be an excellent tool in differentiating normal from affected patients (area under the curve [AUC]=0.98, p<0.001). When the total BBDSS score was ≥6, the positive predictive value was 1, with a negative predictive value of 0.89. The defecation part of the BBDSS was a good tool in differentiating OAB from BBD patients (AUC=0.89, p<0.001). No patient with OAB had a bowel score >3. Conclusions: The BBDSS is a reliable and valid instrument in the diagnosis of voiding dysfunction. The questionnaire was easily administered by parents or children. Moreover, it can differentiate between OAB and BBD.

“…The sedentary lifestyle was defined as sitting or lying down when took part in an activity, such as reading, watching television, driving [17]. Holding back urine was defined as that waiting until the last second to go to the bathroom to pee [18]. In China, the main contraceptive method was the use of condoms, so in our study, the contraceptive method was set as the use of condoms.…”

Background Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a disease with diverse clinical manifestations, such as pelvic pain or perineal pain. Although recent studies found several risk factors related to the pain severity of CP/CPPS patients, results were inconsistent. Here, we aimed to identify novel risk factors that are closely related to the severity of pain in patients with CP/CPPS. Methods We retrospectively collected the clinical records from patients with CP/CPPS from March 2019 to October 2019. The questionnaire was used to obtain related parameters, such as demographics, lifestyle, medical history, etc. To identify potential risk factors related to pain severity, we used the methods of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Further, to confirm the relationship between these confirmed risk factors and CP/CPPS, we randomly divided CP/CPPS patients into the training and the validation cohorts with a ratio of 7:3. According to the co-efficient result of each risk factor calculated by multivariate logistic regression analysis, a predicting model of pain severity was established. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), discrimination plot, calibration plot, and decision curve analyses (DCA) were used to evaluate the clinical usage of the current model in both the training and validation cohorts. Results A total of 272 eligible patients were enrolled. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis found that age [odds ratio (OR): 2.828, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.239–6.648, P = 0.004], holding back urine (OR: 2.413, 95% CI: 1.213–4.915, P = 0.005), anxiety or irritability (OR: 3.511, 95% CI: 2.034–6.186, P < 0.001), contraception (OR: 2.136, 95% CI:1.161–3.014, P = 0.029), and smoking status (OR: 1.453, 95% CI: 1.313–5.127, P = 0.013) were the risk factors of pain severity. We then established a nomogram model, to test whether these factors could be used to predict the pain severity of CP/CPPS patients in turn. Finally, ROC, DCA, and calibration analyses proved the significance and stability of this nomogram, further confirmed that these factors were closely related to the pain severity of CP/CPPS patients. Conclusions We identify age, holding back urine, anxiety or irritability, contraception, and smoking are risk factors closely related to the pain severity in patients with CP/CPPS. Our results provide novel inspirations for clinicians to design the personalized treatment plan for individual CP/CPPS patient who has suffered different encounters.
