OBJECTIVE: To compare the impact of catheter size 14 French vs 12 French on quality of life of patients using Clean intermittent selfcatheterization. SUBJECTInclusion criteria patients using CISC for neurogenic (DSD) bladder, hypo contractile bladder. Exclusion criteria patient with urethral stricture, history of urethral, bladder, or prostate surgery, pediatric patients. METHODS: It was a comparative, observational, study which comprised of total 40 patients diagnosed with neurogenic bladder (detrusor sphincter dyssynergia), hypo contractile bladder, out of which 20 patients were given 12french catheter and 20 patients were given 14 French catheters as per coin randomization method. The patients were assessed for quality of life by using WHO QoL-BREF. T- test was utilised to compare the mean. p<o.05 was taken to be statistically signicant. RESULTS: In physical domain the mean score was higher in patients using 12 French catheter (56.01) compared with patients using 14 French catheter (55.1) but difference was statistically insignicant with p-value (0.688). In Psychological domain the mean score was higher in patients using 12 French catheters (63.90) compared with patients using 14 French catheters (63.30) with p-value (0.793). In Social relationships domain the mean score was higher in patients using 14 French catheters (62.20) compared with patients using 12 French catheters (61.55) but difference was statistically insignicant with p-value (0.855). similarly in the social relationships domain the mean score was higher in patients using 14 French catheter (58.65) compared with patients using 12 French catheter (58.53) with p-value 0.935. CONCLUSION: Higher score in physical and psychological domain implies less pain, greater treatment compliance and improving the patient's QoL, but higher score observed in physical and psychological domain was statistically insignicant. Based on above study we concluded that there was no signicant difference in quality of life of patients using 12 French or 14 French for CISC.

The objektive of the research was to assess the health related quality of life and productivity of women with overactive bladder. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was performed in 5 outpatient centers. General health status (EQ-5D), disease-specific quality of life (King’s Health Questionnaire) and productivity (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment) were assessed. Results: Sixty-one women with mean age of 57.7 (SD = 11.6) years have had symptoms for 6.6 (SD = 6.2) years and 57 (93%) had incontinence. The EQ-5D (mean 0.668, SD = 0.314) was not significantly lower than that of the average population (p>0.05). The impact of incontinence and physical limitation (mean 70.5 and 68.9, respectively) were significant, the King’s Health Questionnaire-utility was 0.932 (SD = 0.029). Productivity scores of involved patients were: absenteeism 0.04% (SD = 0.11), presenteeism 43.64% (SD = 28.54), overall work impairment 40.97% (SD = 26.91), and other activities 47.72% (SD = 27.24). Conclusions: Applicability of the EQ-5D and King’s Health Questionnaire as utility measures in overactive bladder deserve further research. Presenteeism should be considered in the evaluation of the therapy. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1068–1076.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent condition, affecting approximately 18% of adult Canadians. The impact of OAB is substantial, negatively affecting quality of life, sexuality and work productivity. Furthermore, patients with OAB are at increased risk of several other important comorbidities, including mood and anxiety disorders. Despite widespread availability of efficacious treatment, research has shown that OAB remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.
