Abstract
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common syndrome in children, which may affect the patient's quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of standard urotherapy (SU) given on the quality of life for children diagnosed with OAB. The study was conducted on 107 children aged 2 to 13 years who applied to the urology clinic of a hospital in China and were diagnosed with OAB. The QoL was assessed using the Pediatric Incontinence Questionnaire (PINQ). The QoL was evaluated before and 1 month later SU given. Of the 107 children, at baseline, the children with OAB revealed a total mean PINQ score of 27.40 ± 13.19, and the total mean PINQ score was 13.72 ± 9.63 at 1 month later. PINQ score showed a statistically significant difference between before and after 1 month treatment (P < 0.001). The QoL of children with OAB increased may due to SU provided outpatient clinics. And it is important for children and their parents to investigate and monitor to what extent the QoL of children diagnosed with OAB is affected.
