Associations between serum total bilirubin and overactive bladder from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between serum total bilirubin (STB) concentrations and the risk of overactive bladder (OAB) remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the potential connection between STB and OAB.

Method

We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for the years 2001-2020. Weighted multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis assessed the relationship between STB and OAB. Interaction analyses on subgroups were performed to validate the findings.

Results

The study included 28,958 participants, with 5,313 identified as having OAB. The results from the fully adjusted models revealed an odds ratio (OR) of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.97, 0.99) and a statistically significant P value of
