Evaluation of urgency in women, with a validated Urgency, Severity and Impact Questionnaire (USIQ)

The objective of this study is to develop a validated, patient-oriented questionnaire to assess urgency and associated life impact. We interviewed six urogynecologists and urologists and five patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms about urinary urgency. Based on this data, we composed the first draft of our Urgency Severity and Impact Questionnaire (USIQ). A focus group of OAB patients provided feedback on the USIQ draft. The revised questionnaire has two parts: symptom severity (USIQ-S) and related quality of life (USIQ-QOL). The questionnaire was given to patients with clinically diagnosed OAB to establish face, content and discriminatory validity. Cronbach's alpha for the USIQ-S and USIQ-QOL were 0.85 and 0.90, respectively. USIQ-QOL was moderately correlated with UDI-6 (r=0.49, p<0.001), IIQ-7 (r= 0.77, p<0.001), and OAB-q (r=0.73, p<0.001). Mean USIQ-QOL and USIQ-S scores differed by clinical diagnosis. The USIQ is an easily understood questionnaire with adequate validity for use in clinical practice and research.

“…Urgency is evaluated in this questionnaire, by the following question ''How often do you have a sudden desire to urinate, which is difficult to defer?''. The OABSS total score (0-15) is obtained by simple summation of the four individual symptoms [6]. Validity and reliability was demonstrated to be good as it was tested for the total score.…”

“…Urinary status was assessed at baseline and three months after the CPAP treatment, using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). 16 We also measured the number of nighttime urinations using Question 7 from the IPSS questionnaire; nocturia was defined as ≥2 urinations in a single night. Voiding status was calculated as the sum of the scores for Questions 1, 3, 5, and 6 from the IPSS questionnaire, and storage status was calculated as the sum of the scores from Questions 2, 4, and 7.…”

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate urination frequency among patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.Methods: We evaluated 138 men with moderate-to-severe OSAS by using polysomnography. Urination status was assessed at baseline and three months using the International Prostate Symptom Score and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score. Nocturia was defined as ≥2 nighttime urinations and patients were classified into Group A (<50 years old with nocturia), Group B (≥50 years old with nocturia), and Group C (patients without nocturia). OSAS severity and other urinary symptoms were also evaluated.Results: Patients with nocturia exhibited more severe OSAS, compared to patients without nocturia (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI]: 52.0 vs. 44.7; p=0.021). Group A had the worst AHI, but did not have additional voiding symptoms, compared to Group B (p<0.001). The number of urinations was significantly correlated with OSAS severity in <50-year-old patients (p=0.013). CPAP reduced the number of urinations in Group A (75% of patients) and Group B (90% of patients). Patients with and without improved nocturia exhibited significant differences in their baseline OSAS severity (AHI: 53.7 vs. 37.3; p=0.042).Conclusions: OSAS severity was associated with the number of urinations in <50-year-old patients. CPAP decreased the nocturia frequency in 85% of patients with nocturia and was most effective in patients with severe AHI. However, additional studies should evaluate voiding volume in order to elucidate the mechanism of nocturia in patients with OSAS.

CasesTransarterial embolization of bilateral internal iliac arteries (TAE) is a useful hemostatic method for the management of pelvic fracture patients, but its effects on urinary functions remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the impact of TAE on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in 10 pelvic fracture patients.OutcomesLower urinary tract symptoms before and after hospitalization were evaluated by International Prostate Symptoms Score, Overactive Bladder Symptoms Score, and Quality Of Life score. All scores showed significant worsening. The changes did not correlate with sex, age, injury severity score, or durations of unstable hemodynamics or urethral catheterization. Changes of International Prostate Symptoms Score and Quality Of Life score showed significant positive correlations with intervals between the evaluations.ConclusionPelvic fracture patients treated with TAE showed significant worsening of LUTS. Risk for exacerbation of LUTS should be taken into consideration when deciding to use TAE.
