Female LUTS and Quality of Life

Completed
Conditions
Bladder Diary
Registration Number
NCT04547933
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

Storage symptoms include frequency, urgency, nocturia and incontinence. Based on bladder diaries, we could get the objective data of the above symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, there is lack of correlation of quality of life with lower urinary tract symptoms based on bladder diaries. Thus, we aimed to perform the study.

Detailed Description

The bladder diaries and the King's Health Questionnaires of all consecutive women with lower urinary tract symptoms who visited urogynecologic clinics in a tertiary referral center, were reviewed. Based on bladder diaries, women with at least one episode of urgency and urinary incontinence (UI) were allocated to the overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) -wet group. Women with at least one episode of urgency but without incontinence were allocated to the OAB-dry group. Women with at least one episode of UI but without urgency were allocated to the UI group. Women with more or equal to 2 episodes of nocturia but without urgency and UI were allocated to the nocturia group. Women with more or equal to 8 episodes of daytime frequency but without urgency, UI and nocturia were allocated to the frequency group. Otherwise, normal group. Analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction was used to perform statistical analysis for between-group comparisons.
