Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
Methods: A total of 250 male subjects aged 40 years and older were included in this cross-sectional study. One investigator, a clinical research associate, interviewed all participants using questionnaires for the IPSS, OABSS, and patient characteristics. Correlation analysis between IPSS and OABSS was used to assess the validity of OABSS with Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Internal consistency of the OABSS was evaluated using Cronbach’s α.
Results: The means of total IPSS and OABSS scores were 10.38±8.65 and 3.44±3.49, respectively. Pearson’s correlation coefficient for total IPSS and OABSS was 0.773, and the coefficient for IPSS storage and OABSS was 0.864, which is high. For each of the storage symptoms (frequency, nocturia, urgency), the coefficients for IPSS and OABSS showed a high correlation. All values were statistically significant (P<0.001). For severity, the coefficients for IPSS storage symptoms in the mild, moderate, and severe groups and the OABSS were 0.721, 0.724, and 0.616, respectively (P<0.001). The result of
Cronbach’s α test for internal consistency was 0.731 for the OABSS questionnaire, indicating an acceptable degree of internal consistency.
Conclusion: OABSS was found to have a high degree of correlation with IPSS. Our results suggest that IPSS can aid in screening of OAB.
