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.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and distribution of different rotational displacements on the sagittal plane in unstable pelvic fractures radiologically.Methods We retrospectively reviewed 82 patients with unilateral pelvic fracture who had been treated at our department from June 2005 to June 2015.They were 48 men and 34 women,with an average age of 43 ± 18 years.By Tile classification,there were 48 cases of type B and 34 cases of type C.Their rotational displacements on the sagittal plane of the pelvic ring were determined on the anteroposterior X-ray films of the pelvis by measuring the changed distances from the top of iliac crest to the lowest point of ischial tuberosity and to the pubic tubercle.The data were recorded for analysis of different displacements and their clinical significance.Results Of all the 82 patients,based on the preoperative radiographic evidence,36 (43.9%) showed sagittal plane rotational displacement.Of them,28 (77.8%) showed supination displacement and 8 (22.2%) pronation displacement.The preoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction confirmed the findings from the X-ray films.Twenty-one of the 48 cases of Tile type B (43.8%) and 15 of the 34 cases of Tile type C (44.1%) showed sagittal plane rotational displacement.The success rate of closed reduction was,respectively,66.7% (24/36) in the 36 cases with sagittal plane rotational displacement,62.5% (5/8) in those with pronation displacement and 67.9% (19/28) in those with supination displacement,all significantly lower than the total success rate of closed reduction in this cohort(84.1%).Conclusions The sagittal plane rotational (pronation and supination) displacement of pelvic fracture can be determined by measuring special points and lines on the anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis.The supination displacement on the sagittal plane is more common.The unstable pelvic fracture with sagittal plane rotational displacement is more difficult to reduce.
