Aim. To perform language and cultural adaptation and validation of the OABSS (Overactive Bladder Symptom Score) questionnaire among patients with overactive bladder (OAB), proposed as an effective tool for assessing the severity of symptoms and the efficiency of treatment in clinics of the Russian Federation.
Materials and methods. In accordance with the protocols for carrying out such studies, the procedure of standardized forward-backward translation of the OABSS questionnaire was performed. Further, the intermediate Russian-language version was applied to 15 patients with subsequent correction of deficiencies and approval of the final Russian-language version of the questionnaire. In total, the study group included 176 patients of both sexes with OAB symptoms who filled out the questionnaire twice (test-retest) with an interval of 10-14 days.
Results. Based on the statistical analysis (Cronbach's alpha = 0.961), there was a significant degree of internal consistency of the sample. This fact is also supported by the very high retest reliability of the questionnaire (ICC >0.9).
Conclusion. Our data showed that the Russian version of the OABSS questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for subjective assessment of the severity of OAB symptoms.
