Abstract
The aims were (1) to assess the pediatric lower urinary tract symptom score (SS) prior to treatment as a means of determining severity of overactive bladder (OAB) and (2) to investigate relationships between SS results and those of standard diagnostic modalities. Symptom scores were recorded pre- and 6 months SS for 294 children with OAB unrelated to neurological disorder. Uroflowmetry-electromyography data, total bladder capacity, and a 2-day bladder diary were also recorded, and upper urinary tract deterioration was investigated as indicated. Overactive bladder was treated with standard approaches. No response to treatment was defined as 0-49% reduction in OAB-related symptoms based on SS results. Non-responders underwent additional evaluations as indicated. Two hundred forty-one patients (97%; mean age 9.8 ± 2.8 years; mean follow-up 11 months; range 6-18 months) completed the study. One hundred thirteen (47%) required ultrasonography (USG), and those with abnormal USG had a significantly higher pre- and 6 months SS (p = 0.016). All non-responders (n = 38; 16%) underwent urodynamics evaluation, 34 underwent spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 34 underwent voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), and 34 underwent dimercaptosuc...Continue Reading
