Age-specific Prevalence and Comparisons of UDS and Bladder Diary Between OAB-wet and -Dry Women
Age-specific Prevalence and Comparisons of UDS and Bladder Diary Between OAB-wet and -Dry Women
The knowledge of the age-specific prevalence of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB)-wet and
 -dry women is important for understanding the impact of aging on OAB. Thus, our aim is to
 describe clinically differences between OAB-wet and -dry women.
Between July 2009 and January 2018, all women with OAB visiting a medical center for
 evaluation were reviewed. The classification of OAB-wet or OAB-dry is based on the record of
 the three-day bladder diary of each patient. The diagnosis of OAB in each patient was based
 on the presence of at least one episode of urgency in her three-day bladder diary and with
 the absence of stress urinary incontinence. The presence of at least one episode of urgency
 associated incontinence was defined to be OAB-wet, otherwise, OAB-dry.
