Abstract

OAB-v8 demonstrated high reliability and would be appropriate for a wide range of patients. Items #5 and #6 may need to be re-worded. The OAB-v8 should not be scored differently for men and women, although women do appear to experience higher average levels of symptom bother from OAB than men.
