Summary

Overactive bladder (OAB) has a negative impact on the daily activities of affected individuals. OAB affects an estimated 12-17% of adults and has a similar reported prevalence in men and women. It has the potential to impair multiple domains of quality of life, including restriction of social and work life, while also resulting in higher healthcare resource use and costs. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate, in a Croatian population reporting symptoms of OAB, the effect on work productivity and treatment behaviors (treatment seeking, receiving treatment, treatment dissatisfaction and treatment discontinuation).
