Abstract
- Aims: The overactive bladder quality of life short-form questionnaire (OAB-q SF) evaluates both symptom bother and health-related quality of life in patients with OAB, a highly prevalent disease. The objective of this study was to translate and validate a Dutch version of the OAB-q SF.<br />Methods: The translation into Dutch and validation process of the OAB-q SF was performed according to standardized guidelines. Patients with OAB who visited the department of Urology outpatient clinic completed the questionnaires OAB-q SF, European Quality of life 5-Dimension 5-Level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), Urogenital Distress Inventory 6 (UDI-6), and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) at baseline (test) and 2 weeks later (retest). A reference group from the department of Allergology outpatient clinic completed the same questionnaires once. The evaluated measurement properties included content validity, internal consistency, reproducibility, criterion validity, and construct validity.<br />Results: Fifty-two patients were included in the study group and 51 references were included. The content validity was adequate and the internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α > 0.80). The reproducibility was good with intraclass correlation coefficients higher than 0.70. Patient's OAB-q SF scores were moderately to strongly correlated with the UDI-6, ICIQ-OAB, and the EQ-5D-5L confirming the criterion validity. A good construct validity was demonstrated with significant higher scores of the OAB-q SF score in patients compared to references.<br />Conclusions: The Dutch OAB-q SF is a reliable and valid measure to evaluate symptom bother and health-related quality of life in patients with OAB.<br /> (© 2019 The Authors.
