Relationship between Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction and Clinical Features in Chinese Parkinson's Disease Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction is very common in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, the number of studies conducted on LUT dysfunction and its related factors in Chinese PD patients is very limited, and there is no international consensus concerning the results.

Methods

This cross-sectional study enrolled 100 Chinese PD patients. The patients were classified based on their overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and then assigned to either a PD with overactive bladder (PD-OAB) group or a PD with no overactive bladder (PD-NOAB) group. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the accompanying factors for overactive bladder (OAB). Next, correlations between the OABSS and patient sex, age, age of onset, disease duration, MDS-UPD
