Urodynamic study is an invasive procedure and applied for diagnosis of bladder oversensitivity. Bladder diary is a non-invasive measurement. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether bladder diary is a good surrogate for diagnosing bladder oversensitivity.
Between July 2009 and December 2020, medical records of all women with lower urinary tract symptoms but without cystocele who visited the urogynecological department of a medical center for urodynamic evaluation were reviewed. Those women who have no complete data of a 3-day bladder diary were excluded from this study. Bladder oversensitivity was diagnosed if the volume of strong desire was less than 300mL. We compared the urodynamic parameters to bladder diary parameters in order to find the best correlation between these 2 measurements for the diagnosis of bladder oversensitivity. STATA software was used for statistical analysis. Chi2 test, univariate and multivariable logistic regression tests were used for statistical analysis as appropriate. A p \< 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
