Materials and methods: We prospectively recruited patients with OAB symptoms from January 2009 to April 2010. All the patients completed a 3-day frequency–volume chart, including the measure of FMV and the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaire. All patients underwent either conventional pressure-flow urodynamic study or videourodynamic study. We analyzed the correlation between FMV, urodynamic studies, and symptom severity. Results: A total of 102 patients, including 43 men and 59 women, were recruited in the study. FMV was significantly correlated to the daily mean voided volume (p
