Popis: | 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. 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. 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. 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. |
