Abstract
Significant increase of interest for overactive bladder (OAB) in the recent years has not been accompanied accordingly by an increase of knowledge among medical professionals and general population. This was a reason for our survey about important aspects of overactive bladder among medical professionals and normal population.
Primary end point of the study was to find out what are points of view of medical professionals and general population on OAB and to compare them. Secondary end point was to find out whether medical professionals utilize the whole spectrum of pharmacological treatment for OAB patients.
There were two questionnaires used in this study, one for patients with OAB and the other for their professionals. Questionnaires were distributed in July 2009 among specialists from out patient and in patient departments in Czech Republic (83 urologists and 17 urogynecologists) selected from database of Czech Urological Society and then were statistically evaluated.
