“…In one of these, the validated PPBC, the subjects indicated which one of six statements best described the extent of their bladderrelated problems on a six-point scale ranging from 1 (my bladder condition does not cause me any problems at all) to 6 (my bladder condition causes me many severe problems). 7,26 However, PPBC did not show improvement during follow-up in our study in each groups, even though both the aniticholinergic and placebo groups showed improvement of total IPSS, QOL score and IPSS storage subscore and anticholinergic group showed improvement of urgency and micturition frequency in voiding diary. Matza et al 26 reported that the PPBC should not be expected to be as reliable as multi-item scales, and recommended that it be used as a global index to complement other instruments in evaluations of treatment effectiveness.…”

Similarly, our results suggest that PPBC is not a good tool for the evaluation of patients with LUTS related to BPH and OAB.…”

Initial combined treatment with anticholinergics and a-blockers for men with lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH and overactive bladder: a prospective, randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination treatment using anticholinergics with a-blocker for initial treatment of both overactive bladder (OAB) and other lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), secondary to BPH. A 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted at four urology clinics in Korea, involving men, aged 50 years or older, with LUTS related to BPH and OAB. A total of 176 patients were randomly assigned to receive doxazosin (4 mg) plus placebo or doxazosin (4 mg) plus tolterodine SR (4 mg), once a day for 12 weeks. Changes from baseline in total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), bladder diary variables, patient perception of bladder condition (PPBC), uroflowmetry, postvoid residual volume and IPSS subscores (voiding and storage) were analyzed. Of the 176 enrolled patients, 91 had doxazosin gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) and placebo, and 85 had combined medication with doxazosin GITS and tolterodine SR. Compared with the doxazosin plus placebo group, the doxazosin plus tolterodine group showed significant reductions in IPSS storage subscore and improvement in the quality of life item, urgency episodes, as well as in micturition frequency at weeks 4 and 12. However, it failed to improve PPBC at week 4 as well as at week 12. Earlier intervention with anticholinergics plus a-blocker was tolerated well, including the questions about urinary retention (n ¼ 1) and dry mouth (n ¼ 2). Initial combination treatment of anticholinergics plus a-blocker showed positive results for men with LUTS related to BPH and OAB symptoms and did not increase the risk of urinary retention.

Evaluation of urgency in women, with a validated Urgency, Severity and Impact Questionnaire (USIQ)

The objective of this study is to develop a validated, patient-oriented questionnaire to assess urgency and associated life impact. We interviewed six urogynecologists and urologists and five patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms about urinary urgency. Based on this data, we composed the first draft of our Urgency Severity and Impact Questionnaire (USIQ). A focus group of OAB patients provided feedback on the USIQ draft. The revised questionnaire has two parts: symptom severity (USIQ-S) and related quality of life (USIQ-QOL). The questionnaire was given to patients with clinically diagnosed OAB to establish face, content and discriminatory validity. Cronbach's alpha for the USIQ-S and USIQ-QOL were 0.85 and 0.90, respectively. USIQ-QOL was moderately correlated with UDI-6 (r=0.49, p<0.001), IIQ-7 (r= 0.77, p<0.001), and OAB-q (r=0.73, p<0.001). Mean USIQ-QOL and USIQ-S scores differed by clinical diagnosis. The USIQ is an easily understood questionnaire with adequate validity for use in clinical practice and research.

“…showed good reliability concerning test-retest (reproducibility) [23]. In another study in the same field, 865 patients were treated with tolterodine; here, the "OAB-q" proved to be sensitive to the change associated to the treatment, with statistically significant correlations [24].…”

Objective: linguistic validation in Moroccan Arabic dialect of overactive bladder questionnaires OAB-q, developed and validated initially in English. Materials and Methods: Questionnaire OAB-q Moroccan Arabic dialect version was obtained after a double translation (English-Arabic), a back translation (Arabic-English), a journal of translations by three experts, comprehension tests and cultural adaptation on a sample of 10 patients with overactive bladder syndrome. Results: The OAB-q in two parts. The first eight items had assessed the discomfort associated with symptoms of overactive bladder (urinary frequency day and night, urgency and urge incontinence). The second included 25 items and measured the impact on quality of life (coping behavior, embarrassment, sleep, social interactions). The conceptual and cultural adaptation was performed on a sample of 10 patients (5 with multiple sclerosis, 5 spinal cord injuries), the average age is 42, 4 +/− 7.6, the sex ratio is 1. Discussion and Conclusion: OAB-q has been validated in men and women with symptoms of overactive bladder with or without incontinence (a neurological or not). Internal consistency and discriminative construct validity were demonstrated. It has been well validated in patients with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury. The linguistic validation Moroccan Arabic dialect is the initial step pending a psychometric validation with larger number of patients.
