Prevalence, Bother and Treatment Behavior Related to Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Overactive Bladder among Cardiology Patients

Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure, at the population level, the prevalence, bother, and treatment-related behavior for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) in a large cohort of cardiology patients. Methods: This report is a further analysis of data fr...

description Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure, at the population level, the prevalence, bother, and treatment-related behavior for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) in a large cohort of cardiology patients. Methods: This report is a further analysis of data from LUTS POLAND, a computer-assisted telephone survey that reflected the entire Polish population, stratified by age, sex, and place of residence. LUTS and OAB were assessed by a standardized protocol, the International Continence Society definitions, and validated questionnaires. In addition, all participants provided information regarding their behavior as it related to LUTS treatment. Results: Overall, 6005 participants completed interviews, and 1835 (30.6%) had received treatment by cardiologists. The prevalence of LUTS was 73.3% for cardiology participants compared with 57.0% for respondents who were not treated by cardiologists (p < 0.001). There were no differences between men and women in LUTS prevalence for cardiology patients. Nocturia was the most prevalent LUTS. LUTS were often bothersome, and storage symptoms were more bothersome than voiding or postmicturition symptoms. The prevalence of OAB syndrome was 50.7% in cardiology patients, higher than in noncardiology participants (36.6%, p < 0.001), and more women were affected than men. Only one-third of cardiology patients who reported LUTS were seeking treatment for LUTS, and most of them received treatment. There were no differences between persons living in urban and rural areas. Conclusions: LUTS and OAB were highly prevalent among cardiology patients. Although LUTS were often bothersome in this unique population, we found that the seeking of treatment for LUTS was minimal. These results highlight the need for cooperation between cardiologists and urologists.
