Turkish validation of the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and evaluation of mirabegron treatment response

Aims: Overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) in English consists of four questionnaires. We proposed to make Bengali version and linguistic validation. Settings: Online survey. Materials and Methods: The translation and linguistic validation was done in the following manner: forward Bengali translation, backward English translation, preparation of online version, online survey, cognitive debriefing and preparation of final version. Backward translation was done by a person proficient in Bengali and English who had never seen the English version. Results: Forward Bengali translation from the English version of OABSS was made. Next backward translation was done. Question number 1 and 2 backward translation was in congruent at the first attempt. But question number 3 and 4 backward translation needed multiple time correction to come to congruence. After agreement of corrected version an online version was created. In the online version along with particulars of the participants, exclusion criteria, OAB diagnostic criteria, category of OAB depending on OABSS score were added. Then this online version was sent for online survey to Bengali-speaking persons ( https://forms.gle/qEo8GuXSgxyULoaX9 ). Fifty-nine persons (43 male, 16 female) participated. Participants were from all-over India, covering many types of occupation. Overall prevalence of OAB was 15.5% and among male 6.9% and female 8.6%. No participants had any difficulty in understanding the questionnaires in congruence; only two persons were unable to understand the category of OAB as per OABSS. Conclusion: OABSS Bengali version is well understood in congruence and linguistically validated. Further studies would assess the reproducibility and accuracy of the questionnaire in Bengali populations.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of tadalafil 5mg+solifenacin 5mg combination in terms of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile functions in benign prostate hyperplasia patients with predominant storage symptoms. Material and Methods: Male patients over the age of 40 who presented with LUTS with predominant storage symptoms between January 2019 and December 2021 were included into the study. Daily tadalafil 5mg and solifenacin 5mg treatment were started to the patients. Overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), international prostate symptom score (IPSS) for LUTS, and international erectile function index-erectile function (IIEF-EF) questionnaires were used for erectile function. Frequency of daily urinary frequency, frequency of nocturia, urgency and urinary incontinence were analyzed with a three-day bladder diary. Twelve weeks later, IPSS, OABSS and IIEF-EF scores of the patients were evaluated. Results: When the symptom scores and bladder diaries of the patients before and after 12 weeks of treatment were compared, significant decrease in IPSS scores (both voiding, storage and total) (p<0.001 for each), significant increase in IIEF-EF scores (p<0.001), and significant increase in Qmax value elevation was observed. When the bladder diaries were compared, the number of daytime micturitions, the number of nocturia and the number of urgency decreased in the 12th month after tadalafil+solifenacin treatment (p<0.001). Conclusion: The combination of tadalafil 5mg and solifenacin 5mg daily is an effective and safe treatment for male patients with storage symptoms predominant LUTS/ED. Keywords: benign prostate hyperplasia, storage, tadalafil, solifenacin, erectile function

Purpose: Bladder diary and questionnaire forms have an important role in the diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and can predict response to OAB treatment. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between three different validated Turkish OAB questionnaires and bladder diary form. Methods: Patients aged over 18 years who admitted to the urology outpatient clinic with OAB symptoms between March 2019 and April 2020 were enrolled into the study. Demographic data of the patients were recorded, and they were asked to complete a 3-days bladder diary. In addition, the patients filled Turkish validated OAB version-8 (OABv8), the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and OAB Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaire. The relationship between these questionnaire forms and bladder diary was evaluated with statistical analysis. The significant p was p < 0.05. Results: A total of 592 patients were included in the study. The mean total points of the questionnaire forms were 22.07 ± 8.34 (0–38) for OABv8, 10.78 ± 7.21 (0–21) for ICIQ-SF, and 9.36 ± 3.53 (0–15) for OABSS, respectively. There was a positive poor correlation between OABv8 questionnaire form and nocturia ( r = 0.287, p = 0.013). There was a positive moderate correlation between OABSS and the number of micturition ( r = 0.405, p = 0.03) and nocturia ( r = 0.508, p = 0.036), and the urgency incontinence was negatively moderate correlations ( r = −0.525, p = 0.041). Conclusion: Both questionnaire forms and bladder diaries are important in the evaluation of OAB patients. According to our results the bladder diary and OABSS questionnaire forms were interrelated.
