The prevalence of detrusor overactivity amongst patients with symptoms of overactive bladder: a retrospective cohort study. Comment.

摘要

Dear Editor, We read with interest the retrospective study by Diamond et al. [1], which aimed to determine the proportion of detrusor overactivity (DO) among patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms included with the authors' suggested criteria. The starting point of these exclusion criteria show some similarities to our previously presented study in which we developed a standardized workup to investigate the urodynamic characteristics of the pure OAB cases [2]. However, the present study has some discrepancy and inadequacy regarding its method, results, and discussion.
