Abstract:
Objective To assess the test-retest reliability of the Chinese version of Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) and its correlation with other overactive bladder symptom (OAB)evaluation tools among Chinese OAB patients. Methods Fifty OAB patients completed the OABSS,PPBC, IPSS forms and a three-day voiding diary card for twice in day 0 and day 14±2, respectively.Test-retest reliability was examined using internal correlation coefficient (ICC) and weighted Kappa coefficients between first and second application of OABSS. The internal reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficient method. Pearson or/and Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated for testing the correlation between OABSS and IPSS, IPSS QOL, PPBC as well as clinical variables in the three-day voiding diary cards. Results ICC of OABSS total score was 0.9172, weighted Kap-pa coefficients of individual scores in OABSS were 0.5902-0.9274;Cronbach's α coefficients were 0. 3069 and 0. 3285, respectively. In the first and second application of OABSS, the Pearson correlation coefficients were 0. 2643-0. 6900 between OABSS and clinical variables in the three-day voiding diary card (except for average daily frequency of urination);the Pearson correlation coefficients were 0. 4734 and 0. 4929, and the Spearman correlation coefficients were 0. 4133 and 0. 4149 between OABSS and IPSS total score;the Spearman correlation coefficients were 0.4083 and 0.4127 between OABSS and PPBC. Conclusions The Chinese version of OABSS manifest test-retest reliability among Chinese OAB patients. It has also a high correlation with IPSS total score, PPBC and clinical variables in the three-day voiding diary cards.
