Purpose: Bladder diary and questionnaire forms have an important role in the diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and can predict response to OAB treatment. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between three different validated Turkish OAB questionnaires and bladder diary form.
Methods: Patients aged over 18 years who admitted to the urology outpatient clinic with OAB symptoms between March 2019 and April 2020 were enrolled into the study. Demographic data of the patients were recorded, and they were asked to complete a 3-days bladder diary. In addition, the patients filled Turkish validated OAB version-8 (OABv8), the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and OAB Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaire. The relationship between these questionnaire forms and bladder diary was evaluated with statistical analysis. The significant was < 0.05.
Results: A total of 592 patients were included in the study. The mean total points of the questionnaire forms were 22.07 ± 8.34 (0-38) for OABv8, 10.78 ± 7.21 (0-21) for ICIQ-SF, and 9.36 ± 3.53 (0-15) for OABSS, respectively. There was a positive poor correlation between OABv8 questionnaire form and nocturia ( = 0.287, = 0.013). There was a positive moderate correlation between OABSS and the number of micturition (= 0.405, = 0.03) and nocturia (= 0.508, = 0.036), and the urgency incontinence was negatively moderate correlations (= -0.525, = 0.041).
Conclusion: Both questionnaire forms and bladder diaries are important in the evaluation of OAB patients. According to our results the bladder diary and OABSS questionnaire forms were interrelated.

Context: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) are defined by their distressing effect on patients' day-to-day life. Given the pressures on secondary care resources, LUTS may be overlooked or inadequately assessed and therefore patients may be burdened for an extended period before treatment.
Methods: In a debate held at the International Consultation on Incontinence Research Society (ICI-RS) meeting in Bristol in June 2024, we considered how new technologies might contribute to an expedited, dignified and effective investigation of LUTS.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the relationship between kinetics of bladder sensations perception, detrusor overactivity (DO), and severity of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).
Methods: All PwMS who underwent urodynamic assessment including three cystometries (20mL/min, 100mL/min, and 100mL/min with 4°C fluid) between June 2020 and October 2022 were included in this retrospective study. Data collected were bladder diaries, symptoms assessed with Urinary Symptom Profile (USP), bladder sensations with first desire to void (FDV) and strong desire to void (SDV) during the 20mL/min cystometry, and presence of DO.

Urinary incontinence is a common complaint of both general practitioners and specialists. An accurate basic diagnosis with a structured medical history and bladder diary, urine analysis, gynaecological examination including pelvic floor assessment and a full bladder cough test can be supplemented by sonography, cystoscopy and urodynamic testing. This will help to differentiate between the different types of urinary incontinence, such as urge incontinence, stress incontinence and overflow incontinence.
