[Prevalence and characterization of overactive bladder detected in a population in Madrid with self-administered OAB-V3 questionnaire in Primary Care]
Abstract
Objective: Determining the prevalence of symptoms suggestive of overactive bladder (OAB) in a Spanish population and evaluate the impact of these symptoms on well-being and labour productivity in this population.
Design: Transversal study.
Location: Primary health care, Madrid, Spain.
Participants: Males and females >30 years.
Interventions: Classification by primary care physicians with the Overactive Bladder Awareness Tool abbreviated version (OAB-V3). Subjects with score ≥3 and a similarly balanced control population with score <3 were clinically investigated.
Principal measurements: History, physical examination, urinalysis, sonography, general well-being scale and the questionnaires PPBC, OAB-q y WPAI-SHP.
Results: A total 923 subjects were screened, of which 209 (22.6%), 35% males and 65% females, had probable OAB. Age distribution increased from 11.1% in 4th decade to 44.4% in 9th decade. Kappa coefficient between suspected OAB and definite diagnosis was .83. The area under ROC curve for diagnosis based on OAB-V3 questionnaire and the presence of perceived bother and coping strategies was 92%. Subjects classified by score ≥3 had worse well-being, higher PPBC score and worse parameters on total OAB-q and transformed scores for each OAB-q subscale (P<.0001). In these subjects labour productivity was not affected (P=.14) but the capacity to perform regular activities was (P<.0001).
Conclusions: OAB-V3 is a simple questionnaire to screen OAB with good predictive accuracy in a primary care setting and reveals important implications on health related quality of life issues.
Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de síntomas sugestivos de vejiga hiperactiva (VH) en una población española y evaluar su impacto en el bienestar y la productividad laboral de esta población.
Diseño: Estudio transversal.
Emplazamiento: Atención primaria, Madrid, España.
Participantes: Varones y mujeres > 30 años.
Intervenciones: Clasificación con el instrumento abreviado Overactive Bladder Awareness Tool (OAB-V3). Sujetos con puntuación ≥ 3 y una población control similar con puntuación < 3 fueron investigados clínicamente.
Mediciones principales: Anamnesis, exploración física, análisis de orina, ecografía, escala de bienestar general y cuestionarios PPBC, OAB-q y WPAI-SHP.
Resultados: Se cribaron 923 sujetos, 209 (22,6%) de los cuales —35% hombres y 65% mujeres— presentaron probable VH. La distribución por edad aumentó del 11,1% en la cuarta década al 44,4% en la novena década. El coeficiente kappa entre probable VH y diagnóstico definitivo fue de 0,83. El área bajo la curva ROC para el diagnóstico según el cuestionario OAB-V3 y la constatación de molestias percibidas y estrategias de afrontamiento fue del 92%. Los sujetos clasificados por OAB-V3 ≥ 3 tuvieron peor bienestar, mayor puntuación PPBC y peores parámetros en las puntuaciones OAB-q total y transformadas para cada subescala OAB-q (p < 0,0001). Su productividad laboral no se vio afectada (p = 0,14), pero sí la capacidad de realizar actividades cotidianas (p < 0,0001).
Conclusiones: OAB-V3 es un cuestionario simple para el cribado de VH con buena exactitud de predicción en atención primaria y que conlleva implicaciones importantes en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud.
