Background and aims:

We evaluated depressive symptoms in individuals who reported overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms compared with those without OAB symptoms.

Methods:

A cross-sectional population-based survey was conducted in 5 countries. Computer-assisted telephone interviews were conducted with a geographically stratified random sample of the population (N=19,165). Cases had OAB symptoms (n=1434); controls (n=1434) were randomly selected from participants without OAB within country, age, and gender categories. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression (CES-D) scale measured depressive symptoms (score range, 0–60). A CES-D score >=21 indicated major depressive symptoms. Participants reported whether they had ever been diagnosed with depression, hypertension, or diabetes. Prevalence odds ratios (PORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using conditional logistic regression models.

Results:

OAB cases reported significantly more depressive symptoms vs controls (Table 1). OAB cases were significantly more likely to have CES-D scores >=21 vs controls, after controlling for age, gender, country, and comorbidities (Table 2).

Conclusions:

Significantly increased depressive symptoms were reported among individuals with OAB compared with individuals without OAB.
