The primary symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) include urinary urgency and frequency, with or without urge incontinence. OAB is urodynamically characterised by involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscles of the bladder. Despite the growing awareness of OAB as a chronic medical condition, little is known about the disease’s economic burden. Urodynamic diagnoses of detrusor overactivity, mixed incontinence, and stress incontinence with OAB are associated with significantly worse incontinence related bother and health related quality of life (QL) compared to those with stress incontinence without OAB [1,2,3].
