Objectives To investigate correlations between the overactive bladder symptom score ( OABSS ), the voiding diary, and urodynamic parameters in women with overactive bladder syndrome ( OAB ). Methods A data analysis was performed on 164 women who presented with OAB between J anuary 2006 and D ecember 2011. All patients completed a 3‐day voiding diary, OABSS (frequency [ Q‐F ], nocturia [ Q‐N ], urgency [ Q‐U ], urgency incontinence [ Q‐UI ]), and a urodynamic study. The relationships of the OABSS , voiding diary variables, and urodynamic parameters, such as detrusor overactivity ( DO ) and maximal cystometric capacity ( MCC ), were analyzed. We used univariate and multivariate regression analysis to compare the bladder diary and OABSS . Detrusor overactivity and other variables were compared using logistic regression analysis. Results The 24‐h frequency, voided volume, and presence of urgency in the voiding diary were 9.8 ± 3.2 events/day, 176.6 ± 5.8 mL, and 70.7%. The 24‐h frequency and the voided volume recorded were significantly associated with Q‐F ( P < 0.001, P < 0.001) and Q‐N ( P = 0.008, P = 0.005). The presence of urgency recorded was associated with Q‐U in multivariate analysis ( P = 0.012). The predictive factors related to DO was Q‐U in multivariate analysis. The MCC was found to correlate with the voided volume, urgency episode, Q‐F . Conclusions The OABSS correlate well with the voiding diary and urodynamic parameters and could be a useful tool to diagnose OAB when there is an absence of voiding diary and to later monitor OAB symptoms and treatment interventions.
